Good sound quality and RELIABILITY! And software upgradable if possible. Like it so far!😌🎶👍🏾

[@lastplusfirst]

Strong pre-amps, and plug-and-play usability, and *reliability*. Been using a Behringer UMC1820 for about 5 years now and it has never once glitched, failed to connect, or any other funny business. It has worked flawlessly from the first day I plugged it in.

[@Beatledave7]

How do you decide when & when not to compress? or is it just for the sake of the demo no compression's been used on this track. Great version & beautifully recorded!

[@rist98]

I find that the most important argument for using compression is the answer to the question, how will this music be listened to. Here he knows its pro audio people who have good gear or headphones to listen to this. Meaning there is no noise, good acoustics and there is good capacity to bring out the details in even quite dynamic music(good speakers/gear). If these things are different, there is noise(listenin in car), bad acoustics, and bad speakers that dont have proper dynamics, then you will have to compress to ensure all details are retained, more or less, even in these bad conditions. So, for noise, your goal is to keep the music above the noise floor, but also not get too loud that is becomes unreasonably loud. For bad acoustics, you also want to keep the volume where it stays above the reverb volume. So if one drum hit is loud, it will reverberate in the room and drown out the quieter vocal details for example. And then there is the speakers dynamics. Most consumer speakers dont have good dynamics, meaning the loud parts will mask the quiet bits. Hence again compression helps. Bring the dynamics close together and these problems will disappear. This will be better for these bad conditions, but will be non ideal for good conditions, as the dynamics will be nonexistent, which still is a very important characteristic of good music. Another reason to compress is to fix a musicians bad dynamics. Also, here another factor is how he is presenting the gear as is, and compression will distort that... Also, the musicians were very well controlled in their dynamics anyway, so no real need to compress at all.

always been a big fan of Audient. Still using my ID22 and the converters are top notch.

I saw in one of your responses that using the line inputs allows you to bypass the pres when using an outboard pre. Is that accurate? I understand the id44 has two ins allowing this to be done but that virtually no other sub-$1,000 interface allows this; that an external pre connected to a line-in essentially runs through two convertor stages. So, please comment on the accuracy of this comment, if you will. I'm no expert, but I've read multiple comments over the past year or two in my interface research that claim the internal pres cannot be bypassed in most situations. Thanks, Warren! You da man!

[@sm111able]

Pretty cool! For $500 that's rather unreal. A couple of suggestions though which seem like they'd be easy to implement (maybe I'm wrong though). Having preamp Channels 1&2 accessible on the back of the unit as well as the front would be very beneficial. Not the end of the world but particularly session drummers or project studio engineers will likely have the inputs semi permanently wired into either a snake or a Patch bay. Having those cables permanently wired into the front would be an eye sore and potentially difficult to manoeuvre any XLR's into if they are part of a snake that also attaches to channels 3-8 in the back. Again, likely not a deal breaker but might be for some depending on their rack setup. Many interfaces have Hi-Z inputs on the front as an option with regular XLR inputs on the back so that they're still accessible on both sides. Also, I'm not sure that I saw the Smartgain button in the software mixer. If that's the case the Smartgain feature might not be usable for any session drummer who doesn't have easy access to their interface from their drum set (i.e. separate control room or simply having their setup more than a few feet from their drum set). Some setups are in tight spaces and manually hitting the smart gain button then trying to get back to your kit in time before the function turns off might not be very intuitive or possible depending on the setup. It looks very promising though and the preamps definitely sound amazing for the price!

It came out today!

[@samuelpeinado1267]

Do you know if the evo 16 does class compliant audio? Another example of an interface that does class combined audio would be the tascam model 12. Granted that’s a mixer, but it also does class compliant audio (by which I mean I can plug The tascam model 12 into my MPC and it will be recognized as an available audio interface). I checked the support documentation at audient, but can’t find any clear answer. On a side note, the only thing I wish the evo 16 had which it doesn’t is midi. However I can also see the value in Audient just focusing on the audio side. Anyway, great job on the review.

[@Radical_Middle]

cool unit. only thing stopping me is no dsp there, Im used to my mr816 where I can dial its nice dsp reverb with zero latency to a singer (they always want reverb, you know that) and not have it later on track at all. everybody happy. I could use external reverb on monitor line for that purpose, but I just don't have one. If would, this evo will be no brainer for me as it offers 2x adat ins/outs and that another adat evo unit could be linked there for extra 8channels 96kHz if Im not mistaken. my mr816 has only one pair of those (limits me to 4 adat channels when above 48kHz sampling rate). great vid/song/recording. thank you:)

For me I've narrowed it down to the 18i20 and the Evo 16 ... but I'm a little wary of the Evo 16 because there's so much hype about it and because there are no real world reviews of it because it hasn't been released to the public yet. All the influencer reviews focus on the smart gain function and say nothing about noise levels, fidelity etc. I also wonder if it's wise to buy an unproven interface in which all of it's functions are controlled by one knob ... it's just a reliability concern. I dunno ... I'm on the fence ... but so far I'm not convinced.

@@ninjaneer1974 Thank you! My Audient distributor is telling me that you can connect the id44 adat in port to the EVO 16 adat out port. In this way the iD44 will slave the EVO 16 and be able to use 12 preamps channels.

I really dislike the combi-jacks, makes it hard to route to a patchbay, but, I understand the formfactor and intended user of this particular unit.

[@Polentaccio]

One thing they fail to mention is, can you bypass the preamps on the combo jacks and hit the converters straight like you can with an ASP 880?? Because what is the point of potentially hitting outboard and then going through the entire preamp on the way back in?

[@ianlodes13]

I'd assume you'd be able to set the inputs as line inputs thereby bypassing the preamps? But good question I'd like to know as well.

[@JaeBTundra1]

Nah Audient told me you can't bypass the preamps.

[@bingybeats189]

This is a huge deciding factor when choosing a pre

[@psdui]

That guitar sounds 😍 lovely

[@Producelikeapro]

Thank you!

[@PeteSchmidt]

she's a great singer! well done guys and gals!

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, wonderful singer

[@41Fingers]

ooh that demo song is sweet!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!

[@Ambientnauts]

Super entertaining and detailed demo thank you. What is the black controller you use that sits on top at about 13:50 minutes in?

[@zimbot_KWB]

My 8-in/8-out of 20 years ago was the Gadget Labs Wave/824. That was a great unit for its time, great quality at a great price. I still have it, but the NT 4.0 DAW I used it in has been dead for a long, long time. :-)

[@m.d.4949]

What an amazing performance and singing! Amazing!

[@jamesp9069]

Really impressed with this box and the drum sound in particular! Do you recall if the bass drum is a 20" or 22"?

[@stephenfleming8030]

HA! Flying that in personally is...totally illegal. Well done Audient!

[@philmartin7474]

Okay, Warren, it sounds AWESOME, but please tell what else is happening to get this final result which sounds so loud, 3D and huge? What other processing is going on, busses, Master Bus and Mastering, etc?

[@marcusc.nordin5624]

And I ordered a new audio interface yesterday... wish I knew this one was around the corner.

[@realraven2000]

14:40 that's a great technique! if the player hit's the snare at the same time though ... ?

[@Producelikeapro]

If it’s once or twice then just automate the plug in for that couple of times, if it’s a four on the floor track then you won’t need to do this at all!

[@realraven2000]

@Dystopian Farmer I guess disco is out then haha

[@realraven2000]

@Dystopian Farmer hit me with a rhythm stick!
