who would down rate this video?.. this is the most thorough and honest video you will find online for this product. You guys do know you are rating the video not the product, right? As for the Evo 8, I bought this product and love it. I seen reviews that complained that the jacks where loose. I think Audient may of taken note of that and improved on the build quality. When it came to the Evo-8 I own, it feels pretty solid to me and doesn't wiggle like was shown in videos I have seen. Color changing LEDs was a missed opportunity for this device and I am sure they won't make that mistake in a future iteration. I wish there was an option to disable the override to the monitor outputs when connecting a headphone. I wish i could leave all my cables connected and control disconnects through the software only. Otherwise its such a great product at its price point especially when considering the quality of the pre-amps.

I know this video is from awhile ago but I wanted to let anyone know, who may be on the fence about getting the EVO 8, to do it! It was my best purchase last year and being able to easily swap between custom gain setting and mics is amazing! Especially how often I swap from loud character work like screaming bloody murder to commercial and E-Learning work every day. I don't even have the interface within my booth. I keep it outside and just use the Mixer software for everything. Thanks for the review Mike! It helped me a lot with my decision.

Will this Evo 4 provide me with a mono output. I ask that because I currently had a Focusrite Solo 3rd Gen and when I go live on FB or just record in Quicktime the sound only comes out the left side. I understand that this happens due to the Focusrite Solo considers input 1 (XLR) to be the left channel and the other input (1/4 inch) to be the right channel. Now this would be an easy fix in post with any DAW because I can process the final output in Mono however because I go live and I dont have the option to fix in post. Therefor every time I go live I get stuck with the audio only coming out of the left side as I only have the mic in input 1 (XLR). So my question is would the Evo 4 input 1 (XLR) only record to the left side/channel during recoding or going live or will it record to both the left and right sides?

Is there a reason one would want to get a small interface like the EVO8, rather than using an actual mixer? I just got an A&H ZEDi 10FX, because I can use it for when I host karaoke or run sound for small bands, but it also works as an interface for recording. I did see a couple features that I would like; such as mute buttons and the software that saves your settings, but is there anything else that an interface would provide that my mixer won't? By the way, sorry for my ignorance. My experience is in live productions, which I haven't been able to do this year because of Covid. I figure it's a good time to start working toward my lifelong goal of doing voiceovers.

Wonderful review! Very interesting audio interface. What about the differences between id14 mkii and EVO 8 in terms of converters and preamps quality, as well as the software stability? The only reason why I would like to have it is that it has four input preamps, but at the same time it doesn't have a DA expansion, that's a pity! Does the converters's quality could justify the charge of 50 bucks's price for the id14 mkii, considering that the EVO 8 has also 2 more mic preamps?

Just a question. I listened carefully but I am not sure. I would use Evo8 as audio interface to play live keyboards with VSTs. Perfect way should be driving both outputs at the same time: one for theater mixer and one for my personal monitors on stage. If I could drive both outputs independently that would be great. Same mix (my stereo output from my vst host) but two output levels. It seems possible and with a fast level change on both outputs, just with buttons and potentiometer. Am I right?

I have a mic hooked up to "1" on the left back and a keyboard plugged in the back on the left in "2". I tried recording, and everything was recorded fine. However, while I'm playing the keyboard and even the mic, I can't hear anything back. I even tried unplugging my headphones to see if I can hear them through my studio monitors and nothing comes out. I can't figure this out as I've always used Focusrite. Audient Evo seems a bit harder to figure out. I even tried plugging my headphones into my studio monitors and still nothing comes out.

Just got an EVO 8 yesterday and sent it back to Sweetwater for a replacement. The Mic preamp performance was pathetic, such poor volume. I'm so used to the sparkling performance of my Mackie ProFX6V3 mixer, that this Evo 8 was such a disappointment. I guess in two days I'll work/play with the replacement and see what happens. All I do is record singing with instrumental accompaniment (in other words, karaoke!) Don't you laugh, now! :) I use one input for vocals, and TWO inputs for a stereo input from my cellphone or tablet using a 1/8" to twin 1/4" cable. I had tried this with a MOTU M4 using two line inputs in the back, but no go: very poor signal! But with the Evo 8, that works just great! In fact I'm wondering whether I have wasted my money. I may wind up returning the Evo 8 to Sweetwater paying $500 to get the new Mackie Onyx8 mixer. Why, you ask? I need a 4 in and 4 out USB channel mixer or interface. This is because karaoke background tracks are always stereo, which means I need 3 tracks in a DAW. 2 channels does not cut it! I'm not a vocal and guitar guy! :)
