Antelope Orion 32+ Gen 4 Full Review & Specs 

WELCOME BACK, Brother!!! I can't wait for your tutorial because I could use help with Gen 3. I am ESPECIALLY stuck with the I/O for my 500 series rack, because my UAD X8p had NO problem pushing audio through it, but i'm having issues registering a signal from the Orion 32+

Very good reviews and very Honest :) I have been working with the Orion studio for over a year and its been very stable and reliable... Not sure i would be looking at upgrading until these issues are ironed out with both the Orion 32 gen 4 nd the control surface which you also reviewed.

Hi Fady, just to clarify you can go lower than 512 buffer size, just not 1024? What is the lowest buffer setting at 48kHz? This video came at the perfect time as Im looking to expand to a hybrid workflow and analog summing. I was looking at getting an apollo x16 to pair with my x8p, but the cost for I/O is way too much. To get similar I/O with UAD you would need to spend about $8k on 2 x16, and I dont really use UAD plugins or the dsp Btw, that speaker tuning bult-in is genius, not sure if antelope is the first to do it but I can see everyone else copying that feature

Thanks, really useful video. I've just bought the Gen 4 - I don't think I will have the same problem as you as I tend to record more traditionally (used to 24 tracks) so, I think the largest thing I've ever done is like 40 tracks plus inserts. I am running everything through an analogue desk, hence wanting the ins and outs that the Gen 4 provides. Hopefully all will be fine!

Thank God someone is talking about this. Have been thinking about this since it came out. Question if you would be so kind to help: was it stable on Mac? I know you decided to change it because of the ins/outs problems with thunderbolt… hope they solve it fast! Have heard mixed results on it stability. Thank you for the video btw! Great stuff.

Super appreciate your experience with the Gen 4. Thank you for sharing

Great review! Just wanted to change my gen2 to gen4. Thinking about AFX. Its strange that its not working in gen4. So,you said that u solve this problem with realtime plugins. How did u do that?)

great vid, thanks.....i am in the process of switching from Apollo to a different interface and Antelope is at the top of the list cheers

I had a good deal where they offered me the mrc with it, when I bought the gen 4.

Such a helpful and clear vid, thanks!

Thanks for your review! I'm totally sold on the Orion Gen 4 converters - the quality is top-notch! I was super pumped to invest in it. However, I'm reading too much concerns about Antelope's quality control and their ability to solve issues (i.e the dedicated FB user group). It's a dealbreaker for me. I'm at a crossroads where I might have to sacrifice I/O and converter quality for more stability and updated sustainability. I don't want to spend most of my days fixing issues; vs focusing on recording and mixing music...

Is there a way to conect the db25 outputs to a a77h? And how do i choose if is left or right?

Are you gonna do a tutorial for the routing system ? Please

Thank you! I'm a home studio musician on 32 Gen 1 and lots of outboard gear, so have been imagining I would eventually grab a Gen 3 for more analog I/O and better converters. Now I have the chance to grab a Gen 1 Crane Song Avocet at a fantastic price which for me is mostly about its D/A conversion. But this Gen 4 would be a significant converter improvement for me plus needed I/O. Do you have an opinion about how this Gen 4 converters might compare to the Avocet?

Wait. No 1024 buffer size via USB? Shocking. Thank you for this information! Saved my wallet.

Hello, thanks for the video. Are there buffer sizes smaller than 512?

Thanks for the Video. Can we have lower (Lower than 512) Buffer size with USB connection?

Sorry, did you say we’d need to buy a license to eq an output??

Is the buffer size present also in the Galaxy 32?

Can the gen 3 do 1024 buffer size?

Can you use the room eq for Cue output?

THANKS so much for clarifying the completely horrible and unusable fact that you can only work in max. 512 buffer size in your DAW😞 - major deal breaker!!

nice....but never intrested in anthing antelope...kool vdeo

I wanted to love this Gen 4 but the Customer Service....SUCKED and I sent it ALL Back ....Converters....32 in 32 out...GREAT...and I bought the Monitor Immersive BUT ...SOFTWARE ISSUES from HADES....went to Focusrite HAPPY NOW

My only gripe was the physical displays on it are pure false advertising. Horrid, bland, backlight bs, and nothing like the visual advertisements. Everything else is T&A!! Meaning I love it for their support and hw and drivers! I sent the UA X8P back to UA and it’s because their email support AI are equally horrible. Antelope picks up the phone and even offer dedicated routing support.
