the sound quality is exemplary, and the feature set brings them in line with our modern needs for streaming and podcasting. These sorts of bundles are brilliant and get people started without having to think about what may or may not work with your interface. Once the iD app is installed, the iD icon will be visible in the Windows System Tray (it may be hidden icons area).

Ensuring the finest recording experience straight out of the box, the Audient iD4 MKII includes the same preamps that are in the ASP8024-HE console, a piece of gear that's highly regarded for its next-to-nothing noise and distortion.The Audient ID4 MkII is a compact 2-in 2-out usb audio interface with the superb Audient's console mic pre, excellent AD/DA Converters and zero -latency monitoring. It turns the volume dial into a scroll wheel to use in your interfaces and programs, which is REALLY handy and nifty. See pages 24 - 28 in the iD4 MKII Manual for information on setting up the iD4 with some common DAWs. Looking at the features of that bigger version, it looks like a better value in other ways too, at least if you have use for two input channels.

If you hit the iD button the knob becomes a mouse scroll wheel and means you can take control of knobs and faders just by placing your mouse pointer over them. iD4’s Audio Loop-back feature can be configured via its own dedicated Audio Loop-back Mixer software, enabling you to combine audio sources and quickly route them between software.If at any time the USB LED turns off during normal operation please check all connections and if further problems develop please contact Audient support. However, if you’re after a more audiophile experience their iD desktop range has always been a good bet. They are designed as desktop interfaces with all the controls on the top surface exactly where I like them to be.

On the top you have individual gain control over the inputs, some fleeting LED meters and that iD multi‑purpose encoder which handles volume and has a special power we’ll come on to in a minute. A pair of jack outputs feed your speakers at the rear, and the headphones are located usefully at the front, where you can plug in both a 3. I upgraded from a komplete audio 1 interface and I have seen a massive improvement in sound quality! It has the USB2 port, 48v phantom power, 2 balanced speaker outputs, a mic/line combo in, and DI and headphone ports on the front.

Yes there are a couple of features I’d love to add on top, but I’m nitpicking there and taking into account the amount you get for your money, this interface really is fantastic value! The iD14 MkII has an additional combi Mic/Line input with independent phantom power with solid switches on the top panel. Featuring an Audient Console mic pre, class-leading converters, dual headphone outputs and a JFET Instrument Input, iD4 gives you everything you need to create studio quality recordings at home. Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions.The iD4 can simply be connected directly to the iOS device with a USB-C port using a USB-C to USB-C cable. They are absolutely solid on the desk and do not feel like entry‑level audio interfaces in the slightest. You’ll find it also works well for synths, but essentially, this is a one‑person interface for one mic and one guitar. The periodic ripple (presumably mostly to be blamed on the ADC - try a different sample rate) is maybe +/-0. The quality of the preamps and converters will allow you to use it in a professional studio, and it integrates very intuitive monitoring controls.
