Great video! I was not sure on how to use some of the features. Can you answer a quick question. I still have my 6176. I am using it now for podcasts on zoom with groups of people. I used to have an Avalon VT-737. It sounded so much better, but i installed it at the church, ultimately donating it. Can the 6176 ever sound as warm and cushy as the vt-737? Thank you so much!

There is another reason to change earpads; the Sennheiser come with velour earpads which get super hot in the summer and they could get very wet, switching to a leather earpad would fix that & be easy to dry off if they got a bit sweaty.

all your examples are only on one channel could you not show us on multi channels? (tracks)

What version of Studio rack is this? I see the Studio rack performer is $99, but not sure if it can record live through the plugins.

Watched it and liked

do you need a summing mixer even if you have mixing hardware ? cause i still see other mixing engineers with hardware that having summing n there studio

How you like the antelop speakers? Dont know why they green poor choice in color in my opinion but how do they sound?

Awesome video! I wonder how to apply inserts in console. Say I wanna record thru an outboard compressor thru UAD console (instead of using a plugin in the insert slots in console, add a real hardware and monitor that as well) ... I wonder if there is a way to do that. Great video!

Dankeschön! Bis jetzt das beste Tutorial zu diesem preamp, das ich gesehen habe!

So basically the 4 mixers are the cues for mixing monitors? So it's kinda limited in terms of cue mixes

You Lebanese, bro? Ah ya Fedi, ah! :P

this Is Interesting Because WAVES Just Screwed People Like Me That Paid $3000 For There Waves Digigrid DSP Audio Interface They Just Announced That With The New Waves v15 Update There Plugins Are No longer Going To Support DSP And The NEW Version Of Studio Rack That They Change The Name To Studioverse Will Not Have Direct Monitoring Ether So If I Can Get This To Work IT WILL SAVE MY ASS Thanks So Much

I understand that the x16D is aimed at live sound but it still puzzles me at $3000 & $4000. Why not rework/expand the Octo Core Satellite unit by adding Dante connections for $2000 if they didn’t plan to include the multi-channel analog I/O. Call it the “Octo Core Satellite D”

This comparison makes no sense. UA has not created a device like the galaxy. It's for Live mixing consoles that want to use UA plugins which are better than the stock plugins used for live today. The galaxy is an analog to Dante / Dante to analog converter. It solves a different problem and is great for studios. Now what you failed to mention is that they could be used to gether so you have the anlaog inputs on the galaxy and you can use it with UA DSP plugins in the studio if you so desired. That's how these could be used together which is what I thought this video was about. Also, Sweetwater sells the x16D for 3k not 4k. These types of videos are misleading and you should tell your viewers they don't solve the same problem. I love the Galaxy but I like UA plugins too so Id get both.

It's honestly amazing how much the studio folk are oblivious to the x16D being aimed at the live sound market. It's not meant to be a AD/DA converter!

Damn. I have UA and your videos are really making me consider moving on from UA. Have been curious for a while of trying Antelope, Lynx and RME but haven't seriously considered til now. Love UA's plugins but most of what I use now are all native (especially with the new ATR 102 coming out). Thanks for the video!

Didn't UAD claim that their interface can run up to 200 plugins?

How are you able to have a different buffer size in your DAW than what is in SuperRack? For example, you said you have 1024 in your DAW, but 64 in Waves SuperRack. My interface (RME Babyface Pro) only lets me set one buffer size for the whole interface. Maybe I'm missing a step? Also, props for the solution... the way I have been using this is to have 2 audio interfaces connected to the computer with one interface physically connected to the other. That way it's one interface for Waves SuperRack and another interface for my DAW. I would much rather use just one interface if I can get around the buffer issue.

The Apollo x16D is FREE.... You're paying for the plugins, that can be used across ALL you're UAD interfaces and everything available on spark / native.

I currently have an Apollo x4 and x8p but recently I purchased the apogee symphony desktop and this unit sounds amazing soon I’m looking to trade in my uad interfaces my question is how does the galaxy interfaces compare to apogee cause apogee converters are “mastering grade “

I used to think my UA interfaces were totally adequate and then I got the Apogee Symphony MKII SE and realized how much I wasn't hearing.

I agree for the money and I/O Antelope Audio is the way to go I just upgraded from a Apollo x4 to a Orion Studio Synergy Core... I would of gone with the Orion 32+ (4th gen) but I think it will be a better product next year or I will go with the Galaxy 32. The AA interfaces are more difficult to learn and to me I am still nervous about their driver. updates but so far so good with the Mac driver anyway. Note I love the software with Universal Audio, it is superior imo, it is more intuitive an aesthetically pleasing. However in an endeavor where dollars, cents, I/O and reliability matter where dollars matter more to you you can't go wrong with AA interfaces.

8:40 RME already clarified that, there is absolutely no need for thunderbolt connections on an interface. USB 2 is more than enough. Its all about drivers, that why i have an Orion with Madi connection to my UFX and only RME is allowed to talk to my computer.

Thanks so much. A look at the very new RME AD/DA converters would be great! Also the subject of a multi-brand (RME/UAD) setup. Regards from Istanbul.👏🏻👋🏼👋🏼

My personal thought is that the X16D is not designed to be an audio interface... i think its more targeted at getting UAD to the live space... like hooking up to digital consoles and such and using it as an effects send there. the fact that there's only 16 channels is stupid... like really stupid, but i get it, kinda, not really lol I agree that the X16D doesn't make sense in a studio, but maybe does in a live rig wanting UAD plugins.

The X16D is a strange duck in that I'm not really sure who it's targeted to other than a small niche group of users. As for the conversion, I've owned the X16 which has the same converters as the X16D. I moved on from the X16 to an Avid Carbon and it was like someone lifted a blanket that was covering my monitors. It was quite a difference and all in a better direction. On paper, the UA should have been better but their convertors just don't sound as good.

I like to see some comparisons with RME in the mix

There is a big distinction to be made, "analog summing" does not make any difference, if its NOT things in the path like transformers, tubes etc. This means that really, what some people like its this color from the HW, not the summing. Straight analog wire summing does nothing to the audio except what the extra conversion trip would contribute to. If you like the sound of a transformer etc you would only need a left and right version of it, not 16 mono channels of it, although the difference in tolerance from the units might make a difference, it would also be the case with just the left and right transformer in this case.

Great sounds. What velocity curve are you using?

Could you do this video with a Stam SA-2A+? I'd be happy to send you one!

I have an X6 and X4. I like them but I am also reviewing the Neumann MT48. I think I could use AES67 to expand I/O but I think that would defeat the purpose because conversion happens in whatever the other device I'm connecting my summing box to. Thinking of getting the Neve Orbit summing but I can't really afford to get that plus external I/0. I can get 12 outputs between both of my Apollos so I would only need to buy the Neve summing box. Is that worth it with Apollo conversion? Or should I focus on getting an external converter first?

I believe the SSL desks are transformerless. Also some other newer designs don't have transformers like possibly audient, somebody double-checked that

Have you ever tried doing a null test on your analog summing mixer vs in the box summing. If so would you be willing to share those findings? I’m finding very little info of people doing this type of thing, and for those with limited budget and maybe a little FOMO, it would be nice to see what is ACTUALLY happening to the mix.

Do you still have your Apollos? If so, how do you apply them within your studio now?

Thanks for the video. I have noticed the depth that analog summing can impart. It's almost as if a 2D track becomes 3D. Have you any experience with McDSP APB? I've been considering whether to upgrade my interface to the Antelope Audio Orion 32+ and get a summing mixer like an SSL Sigma, Phoenix Audio Nicerizer/Theata, Rupert Neve 5059 or to invest in the McDSP APB which has a console as well as a bunch of other saturation, compression, limiting, tape options.

they totally botched what almost was a great idea

hi, great video. I was wondering if you could explain how to use an HD compressor as an insert after a unison pre-amp. thank you

Meanwhile I just chained together two MOTU 896HD and two 828 Mk II using a Firewire 400 to Thunderbolt 3 chain of four adapters and I have 36 analog input channels at 96khz and 16 ADAT at 96khz and it costed me $800. And with Black Lion Clock and decent input stage I guarantee you cannot tell a difference in 99% of rooms to these super overpriced units.

honestly, i think neumanns are more compressed, which means it sounds more "produced". seems like the transients are being shaped off.

Love Antelope Audio.

Hey Fady this just saved me from the rabbit hole I've been in for a long long while and I simply can't thank you enough. I have a question though and it pertains to your workstation. So it looks like you're using a Mac, would you tell me which model it is and how much disk space and ram you have under the hood please? Or if it's a hackintosh. Thank you so much in advance 🙂

Had a zen tour it was a brick and thus I switched to Universal Audio Apollo 4 and never had a problem since and i must say if antelope had of had an after sales service worth a damn i probably would have stayed with them but they were atrocious where as Universal have been awesome with their firmware upgrade just keeps everything working as it should when you consider how much money we invest in these things.

Hi, how can I set the routing for using a plug-on on a pre- recorded track?

Sounds amazing, Could you recommend any synth pad for worship,?

@fadygergis Hi! I have a question. I want to send my drums to channel 9-10 on my Behringer Powerplay unit, which is connected through ADAT. How do I set that up in Console? Thanks for a great and helpful video!

Hi Fady, I wanted to ask if there's a way to reach out to you? I found away to import your patche sounds into Worship Essentials 3 Plus, but the sound doesn't stay the same. I want to still have the same amazing sound you originally created. Is there a way to reach out to you?

Hey I really appreciate the video. I'm currently working with a studio that decided to switch their entire infrastructure over to Dante, (they have multiple rooms for recordings so they thought it'd be easier to mange). I noticed u said Dante can use Cat 5E or Cat6A cable, however with Cat6a being more of a common cable to purchase would it be wiser to invest in cat 7 for dante? Also shielded or unshielded. Naturally I would assume STP shielded. Love to get ur thoughts. Cheers!

Thanks for showcasing the samples. I purchased it and I'm excited to try it! Is there a video that shows you how to import the sounds into Keyscape so you can use them with Worship Essentials?

I am glad you made a comparison between the two. I do think you might want to clarify some operational details. DANTE....like MADI...is a transmission protocol. DANTE is not responsible for the 'conversion' you highlight. That is dependent on the device itself...which is why you found no difference between connecting the Grace Design via DANTE vs SPDIF. There are examples online that definitively show DANTE is bit perfect in transmission. If you are using one of the cheap AVIO dongles for AD or DA conversion...then you are indeed reliant on that devices' quality for the AD or DA conversion. Likewise, if you were using speakers that connect via DANTE....then whatever is coming out of the speakers is being converted from digital to analog via the built-in converters on the speakers. However, if you are using (for example) an AVIO AES to DANTE dongle...the transmission should be bit perfect. Bottom line: there is no 'audio quality' difference between DANTE and MADI when configured identically...because they are transmission protocols...not audio protocols. CLOCKING: Generally, when we speak of 'clocking' in digital audio, it is the conversion clock for the AD/DA converters. In DANTE world, we are talking about a NETWORK clock, which determines packet arrival synchronization. Two different things that use similar terminology. This is also why you HAVE to have a WORD CLOCK master on MADI (MADI protocol does not carry word clock and you have to synchronize two devices), but do not need it on DANTE, since DANTE uses packet synchonization for already 'converted' audio. If you had signal degredation in DANTE, it was because either the end conversion back to analog was different than on the MADI side and sub-par (for instance, if you were using DVS, it will only go up to 48k...so if MADI was carrying 96k and DVS was converting back at 48k...there will definitely be a difference in quality), OR...your network was improperly configured. Additionally, using optical fiber network cabling / switches, transmission of DANTE signals can go into the kilometers as well. I'm not against MADI at all...just wanted to give DANTE a fair shake as there are misconceptions out there. Great video!

Hello, I've been following your videos on the Antelope Orion 32+ Gen 4. I would like to know if it is possible to record with 48V microphones via the DB25 cable. I'm about to buy this sound card for an important audio project and that's the only question I'm left with. Thank you for your reply.
