How to get the most out of the iD Mixer | iD4, iD14, iD24 and iD44

[@homestudioacademy]

Hey Adam and Audient, thanks for such a helpful tutorial! I’ve reviewed multiple Audient interfaces on my channel so going forward, happy to send my audience to this tutorial.

[@Qomplex]

Thank you! I was struggling and you just solved my problem.

[@therecordfable]

Super useful info here. Thank you!

There is any chance the iD family will grow with any rack size interface?

[@Jordan-z7u8n]

Hi, I have a question. Do we need to turn the +10dB boost on from the mixer while recording anything like vocals, guitars?

[@Audientworld]

You can turn the +10dB boost on at any time where you need more signal level. Typically though when recoding Vocals or Guitar, there's more than enough gain from the pre-amps alone that you won't need the boost.

Great info

[@ChristianSurieux]

Great, thanks. One question : why no knob for Main Mix in ID 44 software version ?

[@Audientworld]

The main monitor control was not included in the iD44 software as you can control the volume using the control knob on the interface itself, however, people have asked for it to be added, so it is on our requested features list!

Lovely video! One question: Should I set the Headphones Volume on my ID14 to the maximum (red light) for mixing in a DAW?

[@Audientworld]

Hi there, it really depends on the scenario and how loud you need the headphones to be. As long as you're not clipping the output in the iD mixer, you can set your output as loud as needed for your mixing! Do let us know if we can help with anything else at all.

[@1973asdf]

@@Audientworldwhat would be the “neutral” position?

[@Audientworld]

it will depend entirely on the headphones being used and their sensitivity. It would just be as simple as turning up the headphone volume until you have a comfortable listening level in your headphones.

So, the routing clears on power cycle? The settings don’t stick?

[@Audientworld]

The last used mixer settings are stored on the computer and restored when the iD mixer is next launched. You can also save and recall the mixer setting from the File menu to easily recall your previous session's settings.

I see that the id14 is compatible with mac osx and ios but I don't see the same with the id24 which is what I would rather buy?? I have an imac 2021 Apple M124 in and an ipad pro ios 17.2 6th generation and I need something that is compatible. I also have a soundcraft ui24 that is awesome and some monitor speakers. I'm hoping to incorporate them all somehow. I'm new to this.. Which DAW do you recommend for these devices? I've heard that I can use Final Cut Pro? Or? I will be traveling with my ipad etc. THANKS!! Also,, do I need wired headphones or can I use bluetooth?

[@Audientworld]

iD24 is compatible with macOS but is not officially supported on iOS. You can still get basic input and output if it is connected to an iOS device such as an Ipad but because there is no iD mixer app for iOS, you loose access to a majority of iD24's features. Any DAW can be used with our interfaces, depending on what suits your needs best. Final Cut for example would be good if you are editing video. iD24 does not support Bluetooth so you would need to use wired headphones.

@@Audientworld is there an iOS version for the future?

[@Audientworld]

There are currently no immediate plans to introduce an iOS app.

[@Grant82gc]

i wish you could bypass the audient mixer.. its an unnecessary step and over complicates my gain staging. let me go straight from the daw to the outputs on the mixer. also, the id mixer that works with the ID22mk1 is way better than my ID44 Mk1

[@BenJordan]

I see that my iD24's volume knob can be pressed like a button. Does this have any function?

[@Audientworld]

It doesn't currently but we are hoping to add additional functionality via a firmware update!

[@BenJordan]

@@Audientworld Great! It would also be amazing if the F1, F2, and F3 could be assigned to more things, or be reachable outside of the Audient software.

[@fefo_music_]

never happened to anyone that Mac doesn't recognize the Audient ID? never had problems but now can't find a solution for this, even the support tells me things that don't work.. card is on anyway

[@Audientworld]

This will typically be a bad USB connection, can you please try a different port or cable and see if this resolves the issue?
