The sound quality

The audio interface is insanely good, was easy to setup and overall quality is great!
There is only one thing that really annoy me:
I had an Evo 8 before this and the main volume of the speakers was controlled by Windows, I could then increase deacrese the volume through my keyboard, with the EVO 16, I have to turn the physical volume knob to 100 then dim the volume through Windows, this is a bit annoying to me.
Excellent work overall!

Great product, very clean preamps. Amazing for the price.

Thank you for the opportunity to describe my user experience with the EVO 16 sound card.
I use it as my main sound card in my home studio and for field recordings of vocal ensembles.
Overall, I am very pleased with the card. It meets my requirements and matches the reviews I read about it online.
However, there are a few points I can suggest for improvement, especially compared to my previous Roland Octa Capture sound card, which was released more than a decade ago.
In EVO 16:
1. You cannot activate Smartgain from the software on your computer. This is important in field recordings where the card is not next to you. (Roland does).
2. The software does not have numerical values ​​for faders and Knobs such as Pan, Volume, and Gain. Nor can you tap and write the numerical values ​​in them. This makes it difficult to adjust these values ​​and compare the different buttons. This really bothers me, especially since this feature has been present in DAW and sound card software for many years. (Roland does).
3. The card's display is not bright enough. It is very small and not readable from a high angle. To read the display, you have to get close to it at least 12". (The Roland display is about twice as large and displays much more information: eight items of information for each channel, compared to only Gain on the EVO).
4. The volume of the Main Out and Headphones is weak (about half of the Roland).

I honestly think my ID14 is the best you can get for the money. Preamps are real console-grade quality.

The setup is very easy. The auto level function is perfect. I use a Windows 11 ARM64 laptop and the software works without any problems. Tried other interfaces before, this one is the best and easiest in that price range.

It's mostly really great and i love my ID4. It's simple and does everything i need. The quality feels good too, but i do have some issues with the headphone plug in the front, that sits a bit too loose and sometimes needs a bit of a wiggle to have sound on both ears. It's not a big issue but it happens.

Your mixer doesn't work on windows. I have a legal Windows copy and your mixer will not install properly on it, only opens in the task manger and won't do anything. Your interface is useless to me without the mixer, and you haven't even answer my emails.
Thanks to you, I now have an 8 channel brick laying on my desk. YOU SUCK!

I have Audient ID14 Mk1 and Evo 8 interfaces. Both have worked really well for my needs. The ID14 was fantastic with my 2017 MacBook Air, allowing me to get clear, great sounding recordings with no noticeable latency. The Evo 8 doesn't play nice with the old MacBook, but works brilliantly with my Mac Mini M2. Really excellent value for money.

Have only just set this up after buying a new pc so not a full review.
I can say the other reviews are right, my previous
Interface wasn't at all bad but the ID4 blows it out
the water in terms of sound
The clarity and depth of the guitar tones are really impressive, everything comes to life in a way
I haven't previously experienced.
For example my effects unit has several presets that I don't really bother with, nothing much seems
to happen.
With the id it's a very different story, now I can see how it's supposed to sound, this is what you get
with a true high end preamp.
It's early days but I'm not quite used to the volume knob, it has shared functions so don't expect
a 0 to 10 arrangement.
I have found starting a session takes a bit of playing around to get the levels right though that's
probably a case of getting used to it.
One curiosity is the mysterious control app which
didn't show up on windows 10 and now doesn't
show up on windows 11 either.
I know perfectly well what the official answer is, you'll find it on the taskbar in hidden icons.
Not so, and I did install it properly, and I also know you might not see it for other reasons.
Well I've never seen it for any reason not even when searching the pc for it.
You can get by just fine without it, really no big deal but still a little confusing.
The unit still gets 5 stars because I won't be shopping for sny other interface, this is studio quality sound for a very fair price.
So far so good!

Great sound and quality. Flawless. I like all the possibilities. Even on an ID4 you can do a lot, if you're a guitarist and I refer to the preamp and dedicated guitar input. I personally like XLR outputs because balanced jack cannon cables are hard to find and need to be specifically purchased. Not handy if you're on the move. I really don't find intuitive the iD control knob but maybe it's just me

Brilliant interface. Brilliant customer service. Best decision I made.

After using the Nero for a year, I realize how a few seemingly simple upgrades over my Presonus unit have made audio playback better.
First is the dedicated sub button, where I can use (or not) the sub with any of my three playback monitors.
The level matching, assignable source to headphone destinations, mono (even to HP) are all the "little things" that make this unit a worthy upgrade.

Amazing quality of the preamps, easy to use, proud id24 user 😊

Very good live the virtual mixer and controls

Great Hardware and Great Customer Service.
I bought 1 Audient Evo 8 during the pandemic for some video assignments where I had different sets with different mics and had to switch scene to scene between the sets to keep the correct gains and also record 4 different mics all at once. It went like a charm. One I had a problem with the hardware they repaired it in a very short time and on the wait I bought a second one that I eventually kept for use on a different computer. Their software to manage the Evo is great and comprehensive. Also a lot of utilities included.

My Audient interface (id44) is AMAZING! Incredible sound and ALL the features I need in one beautiful, desktop interface. LOVE it!

I'm using the Audient id14 mk2 for almost a month. I'm pretty happy with the quality of the sound, build etc... the sound quality is like someone playing a guitar in the room. Very realistic and really clean. My only problem is the interface have very few knobs/buttons. There should at least be a live view mute button on the interface. Every time I want to change something, I have to open the ID mixer and it's a little frustrating. Also, (this is a must have) in the ID mixer, a double click on the slider should set the value to "zero".

Ease of use, good sound reasonable prices.

I'm a Cubase pro user. My ID22 is doing great so far after 5 years of not intensive use. All controls are functioning perfectly. My experience with ID mixer was never fluent but maybe it's my relative inexperience responsible for that.
