Really excited for this interface! Thanks for the review. (Thanks for all you do on this channel really)

[@woodstockgames27]

I have now listened to a ridiculous amount of your videos. It has inspired me to do some recording of my own. I do bedtime stories to help people sleep. Just 10 minute improvised bedtime stories but your tips really brought up the quality of the sound on my videos thank you.

[@yt12394]

thank you so much for this. I have an audient and I was looking for a simple, straightforward explanation without wading through a bunch of techno speak,Bang, i found it.thank you so much.

[@GeorgeTheTech]

Nice update from Audient! This really gives the SSL2 a run for its money with those super clean preamps, flexible monitoring, and really well designed loopback function. Looks like they improved the taper of the gain controls as well, as their old "logarithmic" taper pots were really annoying to adjust at the top 10% of the gain range. Bravo, and thanks, Mike!

[@gaborkiss1425]

Yay, it has loopback! Time to resharp my karaoke skills. :)

[@jasondashney]

Thanks for this. The Audient KZbin page is useless. It's just a constant ad for the unit as opposed to actual instructionals, which I don't get because it's free to upload longer videos.

Very nice update from Audient. iD14 can be my next audiointerface. I waiting so long for good low budget audiointerface with optical input. Finally!

[@BroNapartay]

optical is very useful for plug and play.

[@dawoud8013]

And very very expensive too, if you need a high quality A/N converters !!! Maybe go directly on a 1U audio interface !

[@gerrygregg]

Very well made and informative video...thank you!

[@cmullenmusic]

Love my audient id14, been using it for about 5 years, not this newer model but the older one. Great quality. Consistently reliable. And i love that the DI is actually it's own channel, unlike other interfaces in similar price points, that share the same channel. Also better converters than other interfaces in a similar price range. Love the software UI too. Great piece of gear and necessary for professional work. 👍🎛🎙🎶🎶🎶🔊

[@NigelBolton_]

Are you using windows? If so how is the latency on this interface. I only want the old id14 because I like the silver finish but apparently they have bad latency on windows.

[@cmullenmusic]

@@NigelBolton_ no issues. I do adjust the buffer size depending on what I'm doing but that's because of cpu limitations on my machine, not the interface. The id14 is a great piece of kit 👌

[@NigelBolton_]

@@cmullenmusic Good to know, have you tried using these are your computers output device or fax? Trying to decide if I need one

[@cmullenmusic]

@@NigelBolton_ not sure I understand your question entirely, but i do output the interface into a mixer for certain applications like recording audio to video and performing live.

[@NigelBolton_]

@@cmullenmusic sorry there were many typos in my comment. Meant to say should I consider using this as my output device or dac for my computer. Not sure if it’s worth spending money for one if I have this.

[@Tim_ArtistName_Tallent]

I have the id44...so good. And I’m getting ready to send it in to revive audio to get it modified and upgraded through and through..heard nothing but great reviews from this company and they are very knowledgeable when I spoke with them on the phone

[@beforeyousleepmusicrelaxat7585]

Hey tim, kindly share what upgrades you plan to get on the id44?? And what's your upgrade costs? And lastly did your id44 get any product malfunction after years of use?

[@Tim_ArtistName_Tallent]

@@beforeyousleepmusicrelaxat7585 I bought mine second hand almost a year ago and have zero issues so far. So for upgrades check the website for revive audio. There are only two upgrades available for Audient, so I choose my model id44 as well as the second option, the time square clock upgrade. It’s gonna cost me $500(bday gift :) , but they told me this will make an already stellar unit, have even more headroom, lower noise, 3D sound, and an extended frequency response, and that they much more encourage an upgrade to a product like this that is already HQ, and take it two a whole new level, rather than something cheap and modding it to make it only compete with a stock item like audient , more bang for buck. But either way , I’ll follow up on this comment after I test my modded interface! This is Revive Audio’s description of the upgrade: Modification Services for Audient Series interfaces On the Audient Series interfaces we offer a wonderful audio path and converter upgrade that is affordable and sounds excellent with a very nice Price-to-Performance ratio. Simply select the model you have from the drop down menu. Once your service has been purchased you will be sent Work Order #, Mailing instructions and mailing form for sending you unit in. Once your service has been checked-in you will receive a confirmation of its arrival and your unit will be placed the Cue for modifications. Turn around is 3-5 business days for the completion of the work once the unit arrives at our facility. Audient Gold Modifications: Modifications feature a full Analog path modification for all channels of analog input and output using high performance Burr Brown and Linear Technologies Amplifiers for excellent low end response and an open top end. This includes every amp in every stage and a number of other performance modifications in the analog path for both in the input and output sections. The analog modifications on these interfaces offer a wonderfully warm front end at the analog inputs coupled with a very flat response output section for a precise representation of your mix, making great mixes easier. Converter De-coupling and coupling techniques are also used for an even broader and more accurate image of the audio from the converters for the full audio experience from these classy little desktop Interfaces. Platinum Series Modifications: We also offer an optional Time Square Clock Upgrade for this model for an additional $175.00 which is one of finest clocks we have ever heard for excellent detail and a jitter of .1ppm Then finally we perform a power supply modification for maximum bandwidth and headroom. The converters with the modifications sound excellent and easily as good as interfaces costing twice as much. With the modifications we get a lot more bandwidth, lower noise, cleaner and larger audio with a lot more headroom. The modifications on these really help to hear inside the mix for optimal tuning. Overall musicality is improved significantly in both packages and the audio image becomes clearer, smoother and well defined just like you would expect from a Revive Audio modified piece.

[@Andrew-mp5hy]

Mike, I cannot thank you enough for all of the information. You have saved my "audio" life on multiple occasions and I love your content! Quick questions Does the ID4 or ID14 support the DBX 286s?

[@joecaroselli9945]

The DBX286s channel strip should work with any audio interface as it connects through XLR. I am certainly no professional, though I’m hoping to become one at some point, but I’m happy to clarify, elaborate further, or answer any other questions you have to the best of my knowledge. feel free to reply to this comment if I didn’t sufficiently answer your question or if you have more questions. I hope you’re having a good day.

[@Nathansomething]

@@joecaroselli9945 dose the quality of the interface change the noise of the dbx 286s As in this Id 14 is high quality, and rode ai 1 is low quality Will it sounds different Or does the interface just become like a cable and the dbx 286s act become the interface

[@ToMo_VOX]

@@Nathansomething Late to answer your question here but as someone with a dbx 286s (That I use for gating and de-essing) and an audient id14 mkii, the preamps on the id14 still affect the audio when routed through the dbx 286s into it, but there will be more self noise on your recordings in the background so there is a little trade off. Just make sure you connect to the id14 with a TSR to XLR input otherwise you'll be bypassing the preamps on a TSR Jack cable if used with the id14.

[@AngloSaxon1]

For years I have been using Audient Interfaces hooked up to outboard preamps. The preamps I use are the Warm audio WA12 mkii, and the DBX 286s. I have now disconected both of those preamps from my intercaces and am now just using my interface which is the audient id14 Mkii. The sound im getting is great, It seems that with audient you have enough gain to run any microphone without needing an outboard preamp. I am going to upgrade the the ID44 soon as I need more than the ID14 can give me, but in the meantime the id14 is doing great.

[@randomname2914]

Does the volume get reset every time you restart a computer? I have such a problem with Audient iD14 if the power supply is not used all the time and it would be nice to upgrade to the MK II unless it doesn't save the volume level of both the headphones and the speakers after rebooting the computer.

[@ohhiguy]

[@RobertLinthicum]

I know they are different products, but how many of these functions can the Rode Podcaster Pro do, as well as offer a lot of additional functionality?

[@hydrotosoil7505]

You touched on the output option fairly well. So if I understand this correctly, you can have 4 monitors connected right? I noticed it’s labeled 1L, 2R, 3L, 4R. To me that means your left monitors will be plugged into 1 and 3, and your right monitors will be plugged into 2 and 4. The iD4 only has 2 outputs. How would you personally connect the ID4 to 4 monitors? I ask because I have the ID4, and I’m contemplating on upgrading to the 14 unless there’s a way to connect 4 monitors to the ID4, and be able to retain the left and right signal.

[@hellyeah_tv]

I own this for about three years and it's beautiful piece of gear. I actually figured out how to use loopback in really complicated scenarios. Imagine you playing guitar and you singing throught the DAW, then routing thiis to the LOOP, then this sound goes to the Warzone and you playing guitar and singing for your teamates)) LOL that's always been fun. and after that you sending all this signals to OBS who collects them for streaming!)) that's crazy possibilities! I did this for fun but imagine what can you do when you real content creator.

Is that the HD 280 Pro? I seem to recognize them. If that is the case, how do you like them?

[@rzaba000]

Wasn't there SOME hiss when you had the Shure connected and gain all the way up? Right now I'm on a voyage of discovery whether I need a new interface (most probably I do but not immediately). So far, I worked on an NT1-A + Scarlett 2i2 setup and I needed a second mic for a two-person podcast. I went for the SM7B (why not, right?) I love the sound, the windscreen, and the visibility but the hiss is right up there even with a FetHead. No comparison to how silent the Rode is in that regard. Which got me worried. So, I checked online what's the deal. Long story short, I watched a Sweetwater comparison of 11 interfaces with the SM7B and I heard hiss from them a LOT. Now, I can hear a minuscule amount here but you claim it's quiet. Now I'm starting to think whether I'm a bit paranoid about the whole thing.

[@NebulonRanger]

I have the original iD4 (the iD14's little brother) paired with an SM7B. Audient's preamps are worth their weight in gold lol

[@imonw3b]

I just want to ask 1 question. Does the output of sounds can go through wireless headphone once you plugin to the computer or it has bluetooth capability? Thanks

[@joewieseavoicetalent]

Mike I really want to love my Audient id14 but can't figure out the underlying hiss that I here after processing, while I am speaking. It preset rack setup has not changed I just added the id14.

[@DaveJonesActor]

Hmmmm.... I have the old ID14 but having seen the EVO I’m tempted to get that. Reason: digital gain control. I like how you set the gain control on different mic inputs when you have screamy or reading sessions, but my audiobooks are a good mix of dynamics and so effortlessly switching between presets sounds ideal. So, my main question is... are there any disadvantages to the EVO over the ID14 that I already have?? Or am I being silly and have a solution at my fingertips that I’m completely overlooking? 😄

[@michaelmathias8349]

Audient id14 is much better than the Evo

[@redfuse92]

Are the mic and headphone preamps on the EVO the same as on the audient ID14 MKII ? Or are they as good ? And how does the DAC compare between those devices ?

Video suggestion: High level comparison of current entry level (2 I/0) interfaces. Which sounds cleanest, which has enough preamp to cleanly power a SM7B, etc.. EDIT: I have SM7B but don't like to have to boost gain in post. As you acknowledge, it's a difficult mic for most preamps to run cleanly without a Fethead or Cloudlifter.

[@holographicbreathing]

can anyone answer this problem i have with the Audient ID14 MKII Audio Interface ? I find that the gain on the microphone is about a quarter of what I get on my previous interface. I have to have the mic full volume to just about be heard. I've tried it on 2 different computers with 2 different microphones and is the same. I am using good quality lavalier Tram mic. I spoke to audient about this and they said that the unit was faulty and to send it back. So I did that I've got a new unit and have exactly the same problem, there is nearly no gain/volume on the microphone. Any ideas any solutions any comparisons I would love to know about. If it is true this is a huge and stupid drawback to this unit. The other interface I have which I get plenty of volume on the Mic is a Rubix 22.

[@MatttAt]

I love mine. However, for the longest time there was a volume bug on my system where the computer would start and the Audient would be outputting a signal at MAX volume. Yikes. And the interface mixer on screen was very laggy responding to inputs from the mouse or dragging it across the screen. Recently a firmware update seems to have fixed the startup volume issue and I'm using it on an Intel machine now without any issues with the mixer.

[@JaxBrinkmannKiBonWhite]

The scourge of glasses. I feel your pain.

[@markuskajo903]

IS IT POSSIBLE TURN OFF the ID14 mk II PREAMP USING the ID-SOFTWARE? Like, feeding ID 14 from a DBX 286s's preamps - or would one need to have something like an ID 22 with inserts (?) and "shuttable" pres to really be able to benefit from an external preamp & compressor, gate etc, like DBX286s ?

By "shuttable" preamp I mean a preamp that could be circumvented. Not used, that is.

[@lionheartroar3104]

is this better than the focusrite?

[@kyleethekelt]

Mike: surely using USB-a rather than USB-c would also affect latency, specially if you add a channel strip?

[@lindsaywebb1904]

I think you’re confusing the physical hardware (A or C) with the USB specification (1, 2 or 3)

[@TheREAPERBlog]

a little bit nitpicky but I gotta do it. Preamps don't power microphones or send anything to the mic (besides phantom power), they just amplify the signal up to line level. You said at 8:30 it will 'power' an SM7B. I'm sure you know this already and just misspoke.

[@byrosiemayne]

I have this mic, and when I’m monitoring, there is a big delay. Am I doing something wrong or maybe got a defective one?

[@raultoichoa1574]

What daw are you using? And what settings? Make sure it's set to pull the sound through aiso or whatever your interface driver is and not through your computers sound card. Then fiddle with the sample rate. Lower sample rate to reduce latency but this also increases the work your cpu has to do. Try 64 or 128.

[@rjc4991]

When is the release date?

[@fmj4138]

Hi Mike. I purchased an ID14 about a year and a half ago so I was keen to find out about what's new on this new version. Did I miss something? Because it seems my model can do all this new model can do?

[@hammerpocket]

It's just an update; I don't think they meant it to be a huge upgrade for people who already own the iD14. My favorite new feature is the USB-C connector, which provides enough power to no longer need the wall wart. (I don't need phantom power most of the time, so almost every time I plug in a condenser mic I end up puzzled for a few minutes about why it won't work.) The mkII also has an additional pair of analog outputs and a second headphone jack.

[@Virtuoznick]

Is it possible to connect two earphones at the same time and control their level independently?

[@BoothJunkie]

To control them independently you'd need a separate headphone amplifier for the second set of headphones. The unit can create separate mixes with separate levels, but one output will be via the monitor output, which will require an amp to boost it up. I use the Rolls PM50se for this kind of thing. Works well and very affordable.
