Already planned on actually grabbing this piece but this convinces me even more.
Coming back to say this interface is a monster. And the preamp is enough to push the gain on an Sm7b as well.. Really impressed by this.
I wish I had found something like this before I spend a fortune on gear and software... The interface looks clean and easy to use and the mic and guitar sounded great.
Excellent review, love your channel. This interface is next level at the price! 🖤
Love the studio vibe! Looks killer!
This is pretty nuts. I cannot believe they actually have modeling in there. I mean the steam focused I/O would have been enough. Really awesome video! Nicely done!
it's not so much stream-focused; Any device that supports having the outputs be separate WDM devices will show up in OBS the same way. RME does this too, probably others.
@@threepe0 I suppose you're right. I actually run an rme, so, I get to take advantage of that. My point was more so meant to be complimenting that they're offering that along side everything else and none of it's lacking.
Such a sick audio interface!
it really is!
I'm playing along at home turning your riffs into a Biohazard soundcheck.
Proper tasty piece of gear for the size. Great to see the comp/EQ settings on the way in too.
Nice one.
Thanks John...looking to get my hands on one for the streaming feature. Cheers.
John that thing sounds wicked! I was looking at upgrading to a Universal Audio Apollo Twin MK2 which costs double the price if not more depending on the model ,but I think I found just what I need! Thanks mate for a great demo and review. Subbed as well :)
hey john! as always, an awesome review and playing! you have inspired me to pick back up the guitar! was wondering if you would do a review on the bias fx 2? i bought it but i have no clue how to use it. thanks dude!
I was going to stream in the future. With my scarlet solo everything works, but I feel really limited with what I can do. Guess this product is my next investment. Thanks for the in depth explanation.
Great review. Thx 🙏
Did you notice a sound difference between the zen go and the Zen tour?
Sounds pretty dope dude. I'm looking for a 4 in 4 out, but was wondering with this, are the plugins made by reputable company, do they run efficient and ca be used within mixing context, not just via preamp recording?
I assume they have options for different mic pre emulation also?
Many thanks.
Hey! Awesome job bud! I assume you're on windows, but I wanted to doublecheck. Its been tough finding a solid interface with the bells and whistles I want that work on pc without 3rd party software.
cool demo man. how would you say this compared to a universal audio du core desktop interface, or x4? been looking at getting a new interface. would really like to know your thoughts given that this quite a bit cheaper.
Just when I thought I didn't need another peice of gear. I actually need this.
Antelope hardware is phenomenal. A big draw-back last I heard is their support as of late though (last I did any research about this was 2019 FYI.) Sweetwater and others dropped them due to poor customer experience and support. If they've got that sorted out, I'd get another Antelope interface without hesitation. For what it's worth, RME has been doing all of what's outlined here except for the guitar effects for years. Including loopback and multiple in/out in OBS. Their in-built plugins aren't as modern and updated, but they get the job done (again, except for guitar amp modelling.) And RME is as good if not better hardware/converters than Antelope, with a stellar (in my experience) support team.
Can't find a video on setting up the Zen Go/ Zen Q for streaming using the loopback function. I want the Zen mic and computer 1-2 to go to Ableton then back to the Zen and finally output the sounds to applications like Discord or a Game.
Hi! How to setup stereo in OBS? I hear stereo when i record in OBS, but when i playback, it's mono. I checked all audio settings. Thanks in advance!
Hello John, tell me what kind of string gauge and what tuning? Thank you.
so..I can hook it up to my pc and (I) can do some sound on sound recording with my guitar?
Hi there...I want to buy the Zen Go Synergy Core...And i have a question.
Does this USB interface works with Ryzen Processors? I have Ryzen 1600AF with gigabyte Aorus B450 Motherboard and 32gb ram. And also, i will be able to use the Antelope plugins in Cubase 11?
Thanks for the answer...
For guitars,do you need a load box with these interfaces or can you use one if wanted?
Hi Jhon how do you route this with logic x? and the all the crispy sounds into ur daw?
i enjoyed this video
Hi,
is DSP/FPGA being used even when not utilizing SynergyCore FX effects?
For example, being on a Linux PC with Reaper or some other DAW and running some effect, will it utilize PC power or audio interface power?
Tnx! :)
Should i buy the mojave ma-200 (tube) or the mojave 201fet? Tu use with this interface?
it comes with all those plugins? my zen go came with a few, and i cant use it on a daw with the dsp power
HI John Browne,I want to buy a sound card used in home,and want to know:Is there a big difference of recording sound quality between Zen Go and Apogee Symphony Desktop ? zen go 499$,Symphony Desktop 1499$, Desktop=3*Zen Go? Which one should I choose ?Thanks for any suggestions
Can you use the afxdaw2 plugs to rec to Pc, or only Mac?
I own an Apollo twin thunderbolt, and its a pain in the ass with windows....looking into the Antelope catalogue for a while now
I filmed this video twice and the first one that I screwed up was on Mac, this on PC.
Happy to report it works great on both.
How is the headphone amp? I'm looking for a high quality interface with a high quality headphone amp built in. The IK Multimedia AXE I/O solo's headphone amp sounds, let's say not very good.
Since you mentioned obs, how do the ins/outs display in Windows itself for the interface? Like does it lump them all together or can you say assign a specific output for one application like Discord so that you can then add that to obs as its own source? Just curious since my Motu generally lumps them all together in Windows, but is fully selectable in a daw for instance.
Zdrastvuyte! Nashli resheniye etoy problemy? Menya tozhe interesuyet etot Vopros?! Kak on rabotat s WIN10 ? Razdelyayet li on drayver na stereopary ? Pomogite pozhaluysta, gde eto mozhno uznat'?!
Hello! Found a solution to this problem? I am also interested in this Question ?! How does it work with WIN10? Does it split the driver into stereo pairs? Help please, where can I find out ?!
There's Cheetos on your Zen Go! Great video.
What os are you using? Windows or MacOS? Thanks
I love my new Antelope Discrete 8 Synergy Core. Incredible sound and fantastic, easy to use software. You should take a line out from that wicked Fryette/VHT you have and run it through the virtual cabs in the Zen Go. Killer sound in no time.
Awesome! Can you use 3rd party plugins in the signal chain? Also can the onboard plugins be loaded into your DAW?
AFX2DAW can only be used with thunderbolt connection on a mac currently. To use th plugins you would have to route to those outputs in your DAW (which is what I do with the Orion)
no 3rd party plugins yet, I can imagine thats the next stage of the evolution.
As John said,. But you can setup the onboard plugins as external effects. Not as smooth as AFX2DAW but not too much of a hassle. Anyway thanks John for the review. Made me buy it and I’m super happy with it...
Duuude!
Cheers from Texas!
Thank you SO much for doing this video!
I just got a Zen Go SC...
and you are making my day!
Your demo gets me well within my needs, as a
guitarist/Entry-level
self producer. Hah!
Big respect!
All the best!

🤘😎🤘
Can you track vocals with Reverb but record a clean (dry) signal? on the Zen Go
yes u can
Is there any info on the latency of this interface?
none of the "reviewers" (read, paid promoters) have shared that info so far and Antelope isn't advertising it. makes me a bit skeptical. of course these are meant to be used with the built in DSP, but if I have an amp sim or VSTi i'd still like it to perform reasonably well.
I have questions!
_ Is it possible to make independent equalizations after recording the audio?
_ Is it possible at DAW to use Antelope plugins like UAD Apollo Twin?
_ Could you bring us this configuration information?
Yes to both,
- AFX2DAW for equalisations in the DAW
- AFX2DAW
I’ve heard a lot of bad stuff about the drivers and software problems when compared to the UAD and that’s sad because I was really leaning towards this one.
I’ve only ever had one issue with my Orion and that’s because I didn’t install something properly!
I get the feeling after using 6 of Antelopes interfaces at this point that most software issues are mostly down to user error/bad windows config
@@JohnBrownemonuments thanks a lot for the reply! Some people did refer to their Orion problems and i didn’t find many answers towards this model in specific. That’s a relief because I think this is a really good product at the perfect price range for an intermediate mixing student.
Cheers! Love your content man!
want of unmeasurable levels
Hey John, do you use antelope every day? I'm a uad user that's been wanting to make a switch to the discrete 32 or 8. Do you use any of the dsp going in on anything? I just find myself using more external pres then the uad stuff I have.
All the pres i have are external, but yes I use the DSP going in, I have 3 channels of bass (Neve Channel, Darkglass Head and Plasma Distortion) for the channels and i run them through EQ's and compressors in the Orion before it hits my DAW. I could also record the channels without the DSP too if I wanted! The matrix is enormous on the orion!
@@JohnBrownemonuments so they boast the console pres that are on board. Any love for them? I'm just curious because aside from metal(NTM member here!) I'm looking at replicating a john cuniberti one mic style session with stereo ribbons. Just curious how the pres sound on there own I suppose. The uad onboard are not as great as the clarett octo pre I have. But I guess I'm just comparing apples and oranges at this point. A dedicated pre is always going to be better.
@@Sweetsmcdudeman oh the pres here are actually pretty good, and you always got the option to add the 73 style with the dsp too!
The pres are clean and bold, think Audient.
has anyone experienced pops and clicks on a Macbook Pro?
Does anyone know if it would work on a pc with Ryzen cpu?
Yes its does.
What's the round trip latency like?
I swear I ask this in every review and nobody will answer. Almost feels like Antelope told them not to haha.
Understandably, the focus is on the DSP/FPGA powered built in effects. But some of us still need reasonable RTL for in the box synths and amp sims (especially the amp sims).
Jacob Dark did vs. against the MOTU Ultralite mk 5 and the Zen Go had RTL that was between 1 and 2 milliseconds lower than the MOTU. VERY impressed with the Zen Go in regard to RTL.
However, RTL isn’t really a concern from 2019 on. All devices should be more than adequate to stellar.
I've watched several videos about the Zen Go. Nobody seems to tell how many dsp+fpga chips have the unit. Also would be interesting to know how many fx per channel you can load...🤔
All of the other features looks promising.
It says on their website.
1 x DSP & 1 x FPGA
37 analog-modeled
Up to 32 loaded simultaneously*
@@Becoming_ great, thanks!
Will this efficiently power 250ohm headphones
would also be interested in this info
Yes.
Will it need a DI box with active pickups?
you always need a DI box
Can you bypass the amp cirquit on the line in?
Yes
Will I be able to use a usb c to usb 2.0/3.0 cord on it
Yes, received mine two days ago and it works with usb 2.0/3.0 just fine.
Very cool interface 🤘🏽 that’ll take a lot of stress out of the process and really keep ya Zen
perfect name right? haha
👍🏽
💙💙💙💙💙💙
Sounds pretty decent , With John playing lol Comment 17 like 97
If its will run TH-U Rig player from Overloud i think it will be the best Kemper for 500$)))
i can ever hear your breath
john i felt like the lord wanted me to pray for your neck to get better, so in the name of jesus christ i comand whatever demon has a grip on johns neck to leave i rebuke you i cast you out in the mighty name of jesus christ our lord and savior.amen
NO ADAT
Zen tour for you!
RME is ahead. I sold my Zen Go. I bought an RME bf pro fs and became happy. Zen GO created a lot of problems for me , it hurts me to remember it. Everything is fine on paper and in advertising, but in fact the Sound is bad , the drivers are bad, like everything else. I'm done with ANTELOPE once and for all !!! Six months ago, Zen Go was worth + 150 euros. Now + 1600 euros. for the same money. In this regard, it was difficult for me to sell Zen Go/ I had to sell it very cheap. Stop marketing !!!
Dude! where did u see zen go for 1600? lol
@@korayem 1600 euros is a gift coupon from Antelope, for acquiring their plugins.
@@user-gv3mn8xk1t ah ok
They're very pricey but they do a lot of bundles and discounts
I was lucky when I bought the Zen Q I got all plugins for free and their edge solo. They had an offer back in April
Keep an eye on their offers
@@korayem Their drivers are terrible, and their plugins in DAW are unstable. in WINDOWS . There are a lot of complaints about Antelope products on facebook . Including the build quality and frequent breakdowns of their equipment. Many customers - the company simply ignores and does not fulfill its warranty obligations. I'm one of those who got hooked on advertising. Antelope is the most terrible dream of my life.
