EVO 4 by Audient 2in/2out Audio Interface - THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE

[@BenoniStudio]

Audient has updated the evo 4 with the ALL NEW Evo Control app, which lets you control your evo 4 from your computer screen and includes a dedicated loopback mixer. Here's a video about EVO CONTROL kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH7Ep6NqgruJeLs

[@matts5356]

You are exceptionally talented at creating how to/instructional videos. This is one of the best ‘how to’ videos I’ve seen. Not sure if you’ve ever thought about setting up a business selling this service to manufacturers/companies - this is better than 99% of most videos they create. They should be paying you to create these for them!

[@calyptratus187]

I've watched countless videos trying to find a good explanation of this product. I'm new to audio interfaces and you answered all my questions. I like your presentation. Straight to the point, organized, and no wasted chit-chat. Thank you!

[@BenoniStudio]

Thanks for the view. 👍 Since this video was published, Evo added an on-screen mixer for the Evo 4 NEW - EVO ON-SCREEN CONTROL APP for the Audient EVO 4 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH7Ep6NqgruJeLs And if you are interested in using the Evo 4 with an iPad or iPhone, just published a video on how to do that Evo 4 Audio Interface - Use with iPad or iPhone kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5DapniOZdaUjc0

[@piyushmalik7806]

Had this video not been here, I wouldn't have got the confidence to purchase this interface. Thank you for putting in such wonderful efforts to make a layman like me to operate an interface. God bless you!

no lie, you are amazing. you covered everything. i came in here and i was well educated on this product. thank you this.

[@jsheehan6]

Well, this was impressive. I've watched a few EVO videos all exclaiming how easy the darn thing is to set up and use but until I watched your video, I remained confused. Heartfelt thanks for this tutorial as it is the best I have seen on this topic. I do not have Pro Tools, (using Cakewalk by Bandlab with a vintage synth) and until you explained the driver settings, I was completely at sea plus I can now use the EVO to listen as I record. The video layout is especially good and no messing around. So, a big thanks from this frustrated EVO user.

[@R3Minion]

Firstly, thanks for the great video! I enjoyed it very much. Secondly, I will never purchase another Audient device after the technical issues i encoutered with the Evo4 and the very poor customer i received. Nobody was able resolve my issues and they eventually stopped replying to my ticket. I through the Evo 4 in the garbage and replaced it with a UA Audio Volt 2. I have been beyond happy with the build and the audio quality.

[@rajanjoshi6941]

At last..although the presence of all the stuff i have been struggling with the last week in your device department (voicemeeter, vcables banana potato and other vegetables and i tried many others too) this evo thing was by far the easiest solution for a specific laptop that disliked all the software solutions. It sets you back about 100 euros but saves you tons of time. Super simple. Set it and forget. Thanks for your tutorials! They gave me the last push in buying EVO.

[@BenoniStudio]

You will be happy. Loopback is the easiest way to get DAW out into OBS for videos or streaming.

I NOW use this interface for my Shure SM7B just for gaming. Should I put the Mic into Mic 1 or 2 XLR slots in the back? I only see a selection available for "Mic Line 2" in windows sound settings and 1/2 as well as loopback. So Should I just put the mic into XLR 2 in the back?

[@alexruka]

I hate this interface because every time you need to record vocals, you'll have to manually plug in/out the headphones jack.. or there's any other way to do that?

[@jeant9946]

Hi, this is a really great instructional video. But I have one question: so, if I use the 2nd method of loopback (loopback as input and output) , we can't hear any sound while it is recording? What do you mean by active track? Thanks.

[@michaelrequintoofficial]

I need help , im trying to record a guitar , one track on interface and another line on mic , but the mic volume is too low and when i put the volume up it also puts the interface volume up as well

I am still very confused. Surely there are 3 inputs. Guitar, line 1, line 2. Right? Do they all record separately?

I’m not getting to use it on FL studios also on protools. When I put the interface evo 4 on audio settings I can not select the mic to record, the mic get not available.

When you plug in the headphones it automatically mutes the main outputs.

Good day, I am having trouble getting the Evo 4 audio interface recognized by my computer. I have tried downgrading Windows 10 from version 22H2 to 21H1, and I have tested it on three different computers (Windows 11 and 10), but I still can't get the Evo 4 to be recognized by any of them. I have explored every possible solution, including BIOS settings, and have tried various driver versions. Despite all this, the Evo 4 audio interface is still not being recognized by the computers. If you have encountered a similar issue, could you please help me?

[@BenoniStudio]

If you are using a USB Hub, try plugging directly into the computer. Try a different USB port. Try a different USB cable. Try a different computer. If after all that the Evo 4 is not recognized, the Evo 4 may be damaged and should be returned for a replacement.

Could anyone tell me if this interface could drive the 250Ohm dt990 pro or audient id4 would be a better option?

[@bbzsm6186]

im thinking about getting it because it can run the Shure sm7b (that's what scan pro audio said anyways but do you know?)

[@BenoniStudio]

The mic pre-amps have 58db of gain. The SM7b usually performs best with 60-70dB of gain. So this interface will run the SM7B pretty well if you are going to stay close to the mic, but you will be maxing out the pre-amps. The good thing is, these preamps are very quiet and don't have much pre-amp noise even when maxed out. However, I always suggest people using an SM7B to invest in a Cloudlifter type device just so they have an extra 25dB of gain to play with. You can always get the interface and add an in-line preamp later if needed. We have reviews of the SM7B and a couple in-line preamps on this channel here: SHURE SM7B - REVEALED (Full Review & Demo) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKOadJ-ge9CUmdk Cloudlifter Mic Activator - Unleash Your Microphones kzbin.info/www/bejne/fV7Rmatomq2NaqM CODA MUSIC TECHNOLOGIES MB-1 MICROPHONE BOOSTER - REVIEWED kzbin.info/www/bejne/imKbioeHq8-EZ6s

The processor also amplifies my signal. The processor has outputs that I can make either line or instrument out puts.

If either the bass or guitar has active pickups, you can plug right into the rear inputs no problem. If you are using the Helix, then just take a line out from that and plug into the rear using 1/4" TRS cables, or even a standard 1/4" TS cable if you don't have any TRS.
