Field Test: Audient iD14 and ASP800 | SpectreSoundStudios DEMO

[@modernmusicstudio303]

Love these interfaces! Love that the track never sounds cluttered. Thanks for showing us a field test of you actually using the gear!

[@ryanmccann2539]

I really enjoyed the mix you achieve with these interfaces. Indeed, the drums and guitars all.ha their own space and sounded pristine. Nice work Glenn.

[@panhandlegeardemos6837]

I'm using an ASP800 with my Universal Audio Apollo Twin. It's a great way to get more channels and I've been very happy with it.

[@faxardebatintenebris]

I'm recording a whole ep using only id14 at the moment, very happy with the results so far.

[@MentalMetalMania]

Hey bro, so how was your overall experiencie?

[@linko994]

That sound was absolutely fantastic.

[@underwoodvoice9077]

I use the iD14 for my voiceover work. It's every bit as good as Glen says.

[@tibi1687]

Hey Glenn. Nice review about the Audient stuff. I actually worked on one of their consoles. Not once did it make any problems for the recording or mixing stage. Great stuff man. Keep rocking!

[@paullucas4846]

I've been waiting for this review. Thanks Glenn, I always know I'm going to get an honest opinion from you. Since I already own the ID14, it's good to know I made a solid choice(it doesn't always work out that way). I love the way that JFET D.I. sounds, it has a tube like warmth to it.

[@EOS44]

Fuck, I'm no audio engineer but that solo drum kit example got me drooling.

[@PeripheralPurity]

Your video quality has gone through the roof, good for you man. :')

[@dajuantinsley5970]

4:30 that beat was sick

[@_Tanvir99]

DUDE Those drums sound sick

[@skatterpro]

The drumkit sounds fucking MASSIVE!

[@Audiojunkk]

Wow that drum kit sounded great!

[@bastaudio]

I love what you did with that multicam

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

+Koedix thanks!

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

+Koedix thanks!

[@CazadorNocturno]

me too

[@panuser5928]

PLEASE do the same for fishman aura spectrum di. Thank you in advance.

[@jesse_cole]

That TJ guy sure knows how to play that one beat.

[@Donnelly5321]

My College had the Audient ASP 8024 - 36 & Audient ASP 4016 great desks.

[@SahharBM]

Jan 9th? Hey, that will be on my b'day. Not that it will matter since I live in the middle of nowhere between Italy and N.Africa. Anyway, that sounds rock solid. Guitars could have been louder but that's probably just me. Keep up the great work, I love all these devices you are showing off lately.

[@Egbert2011Games]

I love the Lamb Of God vibe in the demo track. The interfaces sound great too!

[@Ducktapejesus]

Hey Glenn, could you do a review on the entrylevel focusrite audio interfaces like the scarlett solo or the scarlett 2i2?

[@musicmore5169]

what is the red glass candy looking guitar on the wall

[@eliaszeghen765]

Hello I record acustic drum do you think the audient asp 880 have better preamp than the Apollo 8p? Thanks you

[@zakaroonetwork777]

How to Sync adat from asp800 to id14?

[@kasnitch]

those clips were spacious and clean af on my desktop Klipsch system. I'm no engineer, but those prices seem a very good deal for that audio quality.

[@MannyDylanMusic]

Will you be doing a fearless gear review of the peavey piranha?

[@pcrecord]

Nice presentation ! I just wish you included an unmixed version to let us hear the sound of the preamp alone... I know many may not like the raw sound but it's the only way to hear the truth. And also compared to other preamps would be nice. Keep it up Glenn ! Happy new year ! ;)

[@tomb8430]

If it were a choice of the ID14 vs the UA Volt 276 what would you recommend? I am currently using a NI AUdio Kontrol (v1) and I think it might be time for an upgrade because they no longer support drivers for MacOS 12.5 which shit me no end.

[@DAN666666666666666]

what is that red glassy worrier guitar ? look verry cool.

[@kojaniszewski]

The demo track is great, dude :D

[@andrefigueiredo3936]

Hi Glen, it's not the first time that you talk about "blowing the mic" with phanton power. Care to explain? Keep the good work!

[@skateoria]

If any other peeps could give me a hand, i'm super torn between this and the id22. I'm still scouting equipment out for my studio and was wondering how either of them would hold up, and if there's a preference based on the kind of work being done perhaps? Like if anyone knows how well they integrate with outboard gear for example, or if they've found the extra controls and i/o on the 22 pretty much make it worth the extra few quid, Cheers!

[@musicandres]

I own the id22 and it worth every cent

[@skateoria]

Andrés Hernández I'm on the bloody fence now since UA announced the new appollos this namn, them UA effects sure would be nice but the price difference is rediculous between a duo and the id22

[@JBizzlerocks]

Hey Glenn, I got a Raspberry Pi for Christmas and the first thing that came to my mind was portable recording rig, thought you should do a video on that, I'm not sure what kind of DAW's they have for Linux, or if there even is one, but i thought it would be cool to have a recording PC in the palm of your hand.

[@MetalCaution]

Wow! A China cymbal in Glenn's studio!

[@EgoShredder]

No mention of any MIDI I/O for the rest of your studio needs. So you would need to spend more on an additional interface for that. Shame the Edirol UM-880 is no longer made.

[@allfu93]

Most stuff is now going through USB, very few interfaces have Midi capabilities.

[@EgoShredder]

Allen Fuentes Wow....so is this the slow demise of MIDI as an industry standard?

[@NebulonRanger]

Not really; MIDI is done over USB now. MIDI ports are an antique and have been for about a decade now.

[@RealHomeRecording]

I love my iD14!

[@sufiansteve9807]

can you connect the dbx 286s to the audient id14?

[@heavymetalmixer91]

By reading the specs on the iDs interfaces I noticed than iD4 and iD14 have lower impedances on the DI inputs, is this bad for guitar and bass recordings? Btw, I would love to see you reviewing the Focusrite Claret USB interfaces too, IMO they're the direct competition to Audient, and not the Scarlett family.

[@BoyAditya]

so Glen, you're using id14 as main Interface and asp800 as expansion inputs, right? what sample rates you're using on this? still on 44.1khz?

[@rikyriky966]

BTW what setup did you record this video and your voice with? The ambiance noise is like zero to my ears and very nice sounding, clear voice.

[@themaschi]

hey glenn, can you look up the: JamVOX Guitar Amp / Monitoring System? and make a review or at least some comments or thoughts on it?

[@bluename4]

how about manipulating synth sound with the ASP800? would it be helpful for electronic sound design?

[@gusdee4844]

I thought u cant bypass the id14s preamps to use another?

[@alexdiaz760]

Hey Glenn! is there any audible difference between a 96kbps vs a 192kbps audio interface? Thanks in advance, love the channel!

[@tedgerard333]

Sounds great. I'm in the market for an audio interface. How does the focusrite clarretx compare?

[@Citizen_J]

this gear looks rather solid

[@hopelessdreamer22]

Hello Glenn, quick question - Can i use two asp800's with one iD14? Thank you in advance.

[@gatopardo9960]

amazing qualiti

[@tomasvreriks2152]

Damn, that snare pops! Fucking amazing! \m/

[@lemonsWoG]

Glenn, awesome job as always! Do you use a subkick mic or anything to get the low frequency of the bass drum?

[@thegreggoproject9119]

I use the ID14 in University for desktop recording. I totally agree with you, it's very robust, plus the optional phantom power on both channels is brilliant for when using condenser and dynamic mics at the same time. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the Focusrite Scarlett desktop interfaces such as the 2i2, or the packages they do that include a condenser. keep up the great videos!

[@HaroonRahman]

How are the DIs on these? Good enough to not need a DI box or no?

[@DavidBloodJohnson]

what shirt is that glenn. I don't recall seeing it in the smg shop?

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

+David Johnson it's the "three dragons" design

[@DavidBloodJohnson]

SpectreSoundStudios oh okay cool thank you I hace three of your shirts and seem this on and said I must have. thank you and fuck you glenn lol love your content brother keep it up

[@julianholmanaudio4807]

Great vid, preamps sound really detailed without sounding clinical.Time for an upgrade then! Was that the raw audio btw?

[@mercible]

Sweet! Thanks for sharing.

[@Jodelautomat01]

Hey Glenn! Can you do a review on the Roland Studio Capture? Love your channel. Greets from Austria

[@Audiojunkk]

Great review too!

[@06szymonszymanski]

Great review man! What do you think about new Arturia audio fuse interface?

[@YvesPomerleau]

Hey Glenn, watching this video got me wondering: Do you record with EQ and/or compression, or do you record all tracks flat and process EQ and compression at mixing time only?

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

+Yves Pomerleau mix time

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

+Yves Pomerleau mix time

[@richardtoth7240]

Can I get to lower sample rate with it than 64? I know its already really good but is there any limit on it? Or can I take it to as low as my computer can hadle it? Sorry if its a stupid question I'm just a home recording kid :D

[@NebulonRanger]

Probably, using automatic mode. I've got the iD4, but am using Windows 10 so my base latency in auto mode is a bit higher (80 smp).

[@bogdaneivan]

+Nebulon Ranger What are your thoughts on the ID4 on Windows 10? Driver stability, monitor output quality and such? Especially compared to the popular 2i2. I'm looking for a starter interface with quality output...

[@Iceage31580]

I've heard of the word Phantom power but what does it do really?

[@lassisalo897]

Condenser microphones need voltage to work, preamps supply this as phantom power ( +48V ) when needed. It can be 48V or much lower. Remember, ribbon mics will most likely brake with phantom power, dynamic mics don't care if it's enabled but they don't need it. Tube mics have their own power supplies.

[@WhiteStriker99]

I really really want this, it sounds awesome and I really want to record live drums so I'm extremely hopeful that I win the giveaway

[@jasonstetsonofficial]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Glisson]

Fuck...this should be a necessity for tracking from now on.

[@thomashaney7867]

Hey Glenn love the videos, I am learning guitar can you recommend me some new strings.

[@SilvershoresRecords]

Man ty for the vid!

[@bufferzone3247]

Which one of your friends will win those cool little toys?

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

+Buffer Zone none

[@artvasch147]

Probably one of the reasons they post videos saying 'fuck you Glenn' lol

[@ChristianIce]

In that case, Glenn, just to be clear... We are not friends :)

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

+ChristianIce lmao

[@flekkzo]

SpectreSoundStudios I like to think that all your viewers are your friends.

[@AdamRainStopper]

The "Sign up and win an Audient package!" link just brings me to a page with a big announcement that there is a giveaway, but no "signup" link. Is this just the regular newsletter signup, or is there a specific place to enter for this one?

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

+Adam Rainstopper click on it!

[@AdamRainStopper]

SpectreSoundStudios I just described to you what I got when I clicked on it.

[@LasseHuhtala]

Way to steal the show, red transparent guitar. :-)

[@BenjiDWJ]

Awesome video 😁

[@timlaberge6135]

The Guitar Center ad just before this tried to sell me on a deal for a $99 guitar.

[@samchoate1719]

Fully mixed track: WOW these preamps sound great because the tracks aren’t cluttering over each other. With your skills Glen, I’m sure you could make a Behringer or Scarlett pre sound just as good. It’s really misleading to attribute the sound of the final product to the quality of the preamp. Kinda adds to the “I need more gear before I can make music” syndrome that so many of us already suffer from. Im interested in the ASP800 as an expansion, but I am aware it will not offer me game changing sound. Because honestly, everything on the market these days is worthy of making a record. So many of us get caught up in thinking otherwise and then just never get started. It’s quite sad.

[@Murgins]

Please do a video on sober vs drunk guitar playing and recording.

[@Stalfo85]

That has been on the list for well over a year. It will get shot.

[@felipesalazar7758]

Man im really confused now, i mean, i was thinking in getting a Scarlett 2i4 over this interface, but now i watched your video and i think i will have to double check my decision Anyway great video as always, greetings from Chile:)

[@1rcproductions]

Wonder if the first drummer ever got his beard tangled up in his kick pedals.

[@eXeMagnum]

YES FINALLY

[@lukeh0rgan]

glen likes great big knobs on his desktop?

[@jesse_cole]

Haha, purple! PENIS! HAH!

[@callum7227]

I big nob on my desktop?

[@Martin-kn6vc]

I have the Audient ASP008 (the predecessor to the 880), the pres are absolutely incredible for the price. Amazing transient detail. I've also used the ASP8024 console, the EQs on that console are really musical in conjunction with a clean and detailed pre, it's a really great combo.

[@williamclatone3303]

"I try to keep distorted tones as untouched as possible" is audio engineer for "distorted guitars are a pain in the fucking ass to deal with as soon as you go passed a few filters and maybe a compressor" lmfao

[@eddardsnark1548]

"miked" Who's Mike?

[@sinsofthemartyr]

Eddard Snark u gonna find out

[@digiscream]

Glenn - I'm just recovering from a nasty flu infection so my ears might be a bit suspect, but...I could barely hear the guitar or bass in the first half of the "in the mix" audio, the drums seemed to be overpowering everything. Perhaps have another listen before the comments section goes mental?

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

+digiscream hey Lee you just mailed that to me! Get well soon!

[@digiscream]

Yeah, I figured you might miss it in the deluge of comments. And thanks...I've basically lost the whole week of holiday to being ill. On the bright side, I built myself a studio pedalboard today...dual amp rig with reactive loads tomorrow :D

[@TheRezus35]

no Midi outs..

[@dillardo]

Hi

[@akwamarsunzal]

Great review man... But... BASTARD! Why didn't you review the iD14 a couple of weeks ago!?!? I bought a Focusrite 2i2 already!!! However, no complaints so far but the iD14 seems pretty amazing!

[@MrBarnejstinson]

Mine id14 is unfortuntely unusable at 64 samples on both my computers(win laptop and desktop). Also potentiometer under big knob feels pretty sloppy. Other than that it is great device.

[@SpringVinMoto]

Snare 👍

[@themightychabunga2441]

ADAT? Lightpipe? Somewhere out there a dinosaur still walks the earth.

[@RealHomeRecording]

If it ain't broke don't fix it!

[@themightychabunga2441]

RealHomeRecording.com Nothing so sad as a broken dinosaur. I still own and use a Teac 1/2 ' reel to reel 8 track.

[@bumble669]

Great big knob.

[@MattMacD]

that snare sound is far too sharp

[@Evilwhiteclownpunk]

Ha, ha... more stuff I don't need and can't use... you fail again in your attempts to get me to sign up for your newsletter!!! (but you're still awesome, 'cuz you put me in your videos)...

[@InGovWeMistrust]

Notification squad

[@eXeMagnum]

Malachi Shanks hey brother \m/

[@HarvinderSingh-yy8th]

Audient preams provide best audio quality.

[@KW-qh1pd]

They don’t last long!!! Mines quit working after a year and a half,GARBAGE!!!!

[@remnant24]

Unfortunately Audient support is garbage, so these products are only good if you never run into any problem, which is unlikely.

[@donallfinn]

Actually, anytime I've needed something the've fallen over themselves trying to help me....but that was a while ago, maybe these have been out long enough that they don't support them like they used to

[@eXeMagnum]

First!!!

[@BoyAditya]

so Glen, you're using id14 as main Interface and asp800 as expansion inputs, right? what sample rates you're using on this? still on 44.1khz?

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

+rangga aditya yes 44.1
