This interface sounds great and the driver has been rock solid so far over USB. Really enjoying the mic emulations and the different effects.

I got the $1000 plugin Voucher and that definitely sweetened the deal. Lots of fun.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this Interface. I already owned the Edge Solo Mic from Antelope and love it. The best way to explain my experience is to simply say It's Alive. The Monitors I have came to life. The guitar I'm using Came to life, The soft synths are in 3D. The Fx Don't have any Presets which to me is a good thing because it forces me to use My Ears and remember how compressors and EQ's work like real ANALOG Gear rather than just clicking through presets. The Antelope Launcher is streamlined. Customer Service was top notch and was quick to fix a problem for me. Having Both USB and Thunderbolt connections allowed me to use it now and upgrade my computer when FX2DAW is implemented to Windows Machines, with after a discussion with one of the staff on SOcial Media will be coming a lot sooner than I had Anticipated. This Interface will be the Main Hub for all my Gear for years to come and I highly recommend this Interface and Company to everyone.
