Just ordered mine today. Looking forward to trying it.

Very educational. I ordered one of these last week direct from Antelope. Not sure when it will arrive, but nonetheless, I am glad you pointed out the ability to monitor with reverb. No one else that I have seen so far mentioned that little snippet. I am hoping, of course, that can be done with near zero latency. As powerful as computers are these days, they still have that little bit when monitoring through the software. I can live with it, but I have one vocalist that is someone critical; so, as of now they just get a straight dry monitor mix through the current hardware's direct monitor button. Thanks again.

Awesome! Can you cover more in how to use with GarageBand. It seems I’m confused when I try to use ZenQ effects since the GarageBand Daw has also effects. So sometimes I can’t record the ZenQ effects to the mix.
Please advice.

18:55 Forgive my French, but any company with the gall to place contingencies on the use of hardware I just purchased can properly kiss my ass. Requiring registration is an outrageous effrontery and represents the kind of consumer-hostile behaviour that must be stopped, not promoted.

Do those AFX come with the interface for free?

[scrizzlethedon]

On outputs 3 & 4 did u have to use the voicemeeter to get the computer play to come thru or is your asio thunderbolt actually showing in your sound settings in windows 10?

Just bought this. Currently the cabs plugins are unusable, at least on PC, they are distorted. Antelope support have said there's a fix coming out this week. I've also had some latency issues with Cubase as well as the afx2daw plugin crashing Cubase occasionally. Up until now I've been using the Emu 1616m which has been working flawlessly, and considering its age I was expecting the Zen Q to be a bit more plug and play, but so far it's been a bit of a buggy experience. Could be the thunderbolt driver still needs some love, but overall it's not been the best transition. On a positive it does sound great when it's not bugging out on me.

Hello good evening I'm here watching you

Hi just got a USB version of the Zen Q Synergy Core . Will any of the steps getting everything going with the software change if I am using the Zen Q Synergy Core USB version on a 2019 MacBook Pro with AFX2DAW and Logic Pro as my DAW? Thanks !

Good review. I feel it needs a few more dedicated and detailed videos on some specifics.

[GotBettaBeats]

can we see one of your mixes where you are using the fx with the zen q?

[Dante-qfyd]

I was hoping to see midi on like Focusrite or Universal Audio and SSL.

[pavelpershin]

Can I plug and use two guitars and two microphones at the same time?

[michaelkatgerman]

Nice interface, but have you measured the latency before that time and so after that time with Zen Q by comparing the waves in terms of ms delay?
Fast (average) computer can be up to 10ms latency and I also have to buy a thunderbold card :)

But very handy in a studio for feeling when you are LIVE I think

I am seriously considering this unit but am not sold just yet. I use Studio One and have UAD-2 hardware so the plugins with this unit are not of interest to me, other than the microphone modeling software.

[Mr.Plutonium]

Forgot to mention the Loopback function on the Zen Q.
