Record. Produce. Anywhere.

 

With connectivity options rarely accessible in a unit of this size, you can cover the needs of your small band and connect all your external gear simultaneously. Set up your hybrid workflow by recording with signature Antelope AD/DA while processing the signal at near zero latency with analog-modeled effects emulating legendary studio gear down to the component level.

Use the effects during post-production by loading up to 112 instances simultaneously with all processing done entirely inside the audio interface. Increase your productivity by modifying your workflow and focus on one thing – making music!
