If you’re looking at audio interfaces for OBS and don’t have any MIDI devices that require monitoring, don’t even hesitate. Just get this. I upgraded to the iD14 MK2 from a 2nd Gen Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 after 9 months of audio issues trying to get OBS to stream Ableton to Twitch without any major latency issues. The difference in build quality and functionality between the two devices is astounding. I did some test calls in Discord and a few people noticed an improvement in my mic audio from the preamps alone. And Loopback with Ableton was a breeze to set up once I designated a separate Cue and Master output within Ableton. I can keep the 1/2 Desktop Audio and 5/6 Cue within direct monitoring and set Loopback to my 3/4 Master so that I’m the only person who hears the metronome. And when I expand in the future I can connect the iD14 to a rack with the optical input. I’m ridiculously happy with this interface. Hands-down this is the best studio purchase I’ve made since I started on my content creation journey last year.
M1 Pro Sonoma Fix: I was having some issues with loop back in FaceTime, Zoom and Quicktime and found the following to work. Make sure that the sound isolation option for the particular app is set to standard. It's the orange microphone icon in the menu bar. This seems to work with most audio/video related apps that I've tried with the exception of FaceTime. FaceTime with Loop Back on Sonoma and Ventura was basically a no go; for me at least. I hope this works for anyone else who had issues.
Unfortunately this video assumes a level of pre-understanding I do not have. The speed of talking about of it and the lack of clarity in explaining each step just left me totally confused.
Hi! Is there possibility to see constantly the loudness level on ID14 MK2 (without pressing the monitoring button)? Can it be inplemented? It would be a better and more useful solution instead of that useless output signal jerking.
My DAW (Reaper) can't see headphone output! What can I do now? ID14 is a great hardware, but what is wrong with this output? Headphones playing but I trying to separate signals to send on headphones custom mix.
I'd recommend opening the Mixer's system panel and setting the headphone output to "DAW THRU" mode. This then will route the audio directly from the DAW to the iD14's outputs. In Reaper, you'd just need to ensure that you are feeding the audio to output channels 3+4 (MKI) or 5+6 (MKII). Also in the mixer, ensure that the DAW 3+4 and DAW 5+6 faders aren't pulled up or this will send the headphone audio to the speakers as well.
This went mostly over my head. It would be great if there was a manual that I can follow step by step. I am looking to record vocals and I want the singer to hear his voice coming out of the DAW, as I applied some reverb to it, and not to hear his voice going straight into the mic, as that's too dry.
Hi guys, so am I correct in assuming the DAW 1+2/DAW 3+4/DAW 5+6 sources are essentially virtual cables? If so, would I be able to use the Audio Output Capture on OBS to utilize them to separate audio between applications (so DAW 1+2 used for game audio, DAW 3+4 used for VoIP audio), or would that only capture what's being routed after using the iD app?
The DAW 1+2, 3+4, and 5+6 are all separate feeds to the iD app and the Audio capture in OBS would pick up the output from the iD app where these three feeds had been mix3d together into a stereo pair.
You can do this using Loopback. In the iD mixer, setup a Cue Mix which contains both audio from the Microphones and the Playback from your DAW. Then set the Loopback source to the CUE mix. Then in your Streaming/video call software, set the audio device as iD14 MKII Loopback 1+2. Please note that on macOS is isn't always possible to select which input channels you are using so this setup may not work with some apps.
We don't have a definitive list for this at this moment in time as different versions of these apps will have different behaviour. I believe Zoom and OBS will sum all 4 channels down to stereo and the other apps will only take inputs 1+2, however you may need to verify this for yourself or with the developer of the app.
OBS on macOS only picks up Inputs 1+2 from the iD14 and not the loop back inputs which are found on channels 11+12. It's therefore not easily possible to use the loopback channels in OBS on macOS, you may need to look at an external app to send audio to OBS because of this limitation.
You can also do this rather than using the Loopback channels. Just make sure that the faders for Mic 1 and Mic 2 aren't pulled up or you can get some nasty feedback.
the feature for loopback is really good. the only that look not nice is that the ID knob need share for loudspeaker and headphone volume too. there seem no indicator if speaker out is mute or not or at which level position it is. I really like a own knob for master volume at least. because when some time no audio output is use and then want play a youtube video, there is no information how high the level would be. and when neighbours hear video too before i switch to volume control and reduce volume is not nice. open mixer is aditional work.
Thank you for your feedback. If the volume control knob is moved, even slightly, the meters will change to show the approximate output level of either the speakers or the headphones depending on which you have selected. I hope this helps!
@@Audientworld that the meters show the headphone level is really good to protect ears and hear not too load. all i know did not show headphone level in the meters. maybe in other mk2 or mk3 versions there is a own knob for speaker master volume. The id22 have a own knob for headphones but not for speakers. the sono have knobs for speaker and headphones but no id knob
Is it possible to use this to play computer audio in a game? People keep telling me my microphone is echoing but I don't understand how that's possible. If the DAW return or CUE that I'm using is set to loopback does that play the computer audio over the game?

I confess I am a novice at this thing. I am finally throwing this out there after becoming exhausted trying to use the loopback function (AudientiD14+GarageBand) without luck😮💨. This is what I am trying to do: Record vocals with the mic Simultaneously record soundtrack playing on Chrome browser Listen on two separate headphones while recording Is there any other way you guys can help someone who is a complete noob with stuff like this?
Hello there, if you haven't already, send a message over to support@audient.com and our team can help you with this. Just make sure to include what OS version you are running.
The iD14 wouldn't work with a USB mic, only an XLR mic, so it may not be the best product for your setup. If you haven't already, send a message to support@audient.com with more details about your setup and we'll see if we can help you.
Hi guys! Recently just got one of your iD14 MKII interfaces and stoked with it! I would like to ask, how would you set up for the following scenario? -------- DAW Stereo Output (ASIO) Computer Audio (Native) -------- Combined these as a stereo mix and send to loopback for OBS, Zoom or Skype, and monitored through my speakers/headphones. -------- This way I can just have Cubase open, do all of my audio routing and processing in this, and have it combined with my computer audio to send to those sources. I read below that you would recommend using a 'Cue Mix' and I've set one up in Cubase's Control Room, I've sent audio to both DAW Mix 5+6, and to Cue A, but when I choose either of those as a loopback source, it doesn't seem to send any audio to it. Previously I've had a lot of trouble sending DAW audio anywhere due to ASIO not being used by native applications. I've had to work around this using ReaStream and a fiddly virtual cable in OBS. I'd much prefer to use the onboard solution, how would I set this up?
In the iD mixer, you can setup your loop back source to capture your DAW and computer output, possibly using a Cue mix if you'd like to have a different mix to the mix being sent to the monitors. Then in OBS/Zoom/Skype, set your Input channel to the Loopback inputs. The important thing to check is that your DAW session and the your Windows System audio is set to the same sample rate. If you need further help, drop us a message at support@audient.com
You guys should issue an update to the driver so that you can select the loop back as an input in Zoom or Skype so it can be used for live streaming. You shouldn’t have to use another app to do this.
On Windows this is already possible. On macOS its a little tricky because Zoom and Skype don't give you the option to adjust your input channels meaning you cant select the loopback channel. We are looking into a way around this currently.
How to turn off loopback in ID tray menu? I've turned it on for DAW 1+2 to use it with OBS, but how to turn it off and make the loop logo disappeared in ID Mixer? Also would to know if it's possible to use OBS directly with Audient ID loopback feature on Mac? Because I had no luck to do it directly on Mac, it only works if i'm using Blackhole and make Aggregate Device for OBS.
The Loop-back source will always be one of the 6 sources and its not possible to turn it off. You can just set it to Main Mix and then just don't use the loop-back input channels in your audio software.
OBS on macOS can be a tricky one as you're not able to adjust the input channels in OBS to the Loop-back channels. I'm afraid that you may need to use a third party solution to send audio to OBS on macOS.
So we can help you further, could you send a few screenshots of your setup in Magix Sequoia to our support team at support@audient.com? Can you also include details about your computer (Mac/PC, OS...etc).
Still can't properly figure out how to make a simple loopback when signal comes e.g. from Out4 through reamp rig and gets back to In1 and how to listen to the reamped stuff from Out1-2. That ID app makes it way more complicated than with other interfaces. Not the best UX realization tbh. Other than that - love the quality of my recordings.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with the iD app and its routing. If you haven't already, send a message over to support@audient.com with information on what DAW you are using....etc and we'll be able to get you set up!
@@Audientworld just managed to get things done on my own. It was "one button click" solution, but still missed small tooltip on "DAW THRU" button, or it would be more intuitive to have it toggled on by default. Then all my reamp chain worked as charm. Still thanks for your reply!
You can open the Loopback Mixer in the iD app. for the iD4 You would then pull up the faders you wish to send to the Loop-back channels. Then you'd just select the Loop-back 1+2 channels as the audio source for your stream. Send over a message to support@audient.com if you need further help on this.
I m trying to screen record my DAW Studio one (audio/video) in OBS studio or Camtasia studio but no audio from the daw can catched. In ID mixer i set loopback DAW1+2, in OBS audio input loopback 1- 2, i set everything 48KHz, 24 bit in Studio one, OBS, windows sound card settings. Please can you help me with this? I bought ID14mkII for the loopback
Can you please ensure that the sample rate of your DAW session is the same as the sample rate set for the iD14 in the Windows Control Panel? This can be checked by going to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Playback devices and then double-clicking on the iD14 to bring up more options. the sample rate can be found under the "Advanced" header.
The setup would depend on what OS you are using and what you are trying to send. Can you send more details of your setup to support@audient.com and we can help you!
The loopback features are only available on MKII units I'm afraid. The MKI hardware doesn't support loopback so we're not able to add this to MKI units through a firmware update.
Yes, you certainly can. You'd just setup the backing track to be sent out of the Loopback outputs and then in the Loopback mixer, pull up the fader for the Mic 1 and Mic 2 channels so that. your guitar is being recorded as well as the backing track.
The loop-back feature only works with 44.1 kHz. I wonder why is that? Any other Sample Rate would FAIL. If you open your DAW (Bitwig in my case) you are no longer able to hear your system audio, only when you choose 44.1 kHz you could hear and loopback (to record) your System Audio Output in your DAW.
Hi! Im having trouble using my Audient id4 mk2 for zoom. I have my Mic plugged via XLR Input at the back and my acoustic plugged in the input at the front. But I cant get to loopback my audio directly zoom for both Mic 1 and Mic 2. Can I do this without a DAW?
If you are going directly into Zoom then you shouldn't need to go via a DAW, you'd just need to select iD4 Input 1+2 as your audio input on Zoom. If you are having difficulties, send details of your full setup across to support@audieht.com and we can help you get this set up.
@@Audientworld Yes it worked easily like a charm! I didnt choose Audient Id4 as my sound card and it was still running through my laptops mic instead. I just selected "Audient id4" in both microphone input and speaker output in zoom and it works right away. Thanks Audient for the reply!
The Loopback function isn't available on iD22 but there are other software solutions which also provide this functionality. Or you can simply connect an output of the iD22 back around to an input to make a physical loopback route.
You will need to install the Audient Drivers on Windows PC's which are readily available on our website and ensure the best performance from your interface.
Hey there! I'm purchasing an iD14 MKII interface to replace my current setup. I mainly want to use for live streaming some music performances on zoom with backing tracks and click/cues. How would i go about setting it up in the iD app so that Everyone hears backing tracks, my mic and instrument that is plugged in without the click track? Does it have to with routing in my DAW? Any help would be amazing! Trying to replace my clunky setup! Thanks
In Zoom, you would set the input to the iD14 Loopback input. Then in your DAW, set up your channels so that your backing tracks and anything else you wish to send to zoom is output to channels 1+2 and your click track is output to channels 3+4. Now in the iD mixer mixer, click on the Main Mix button, we'll use the Main Mix as your own monitoring mix. Pull up the faders for the tracks you want to hear, such as the click, backing and instruments. Then click onto CUE A where we will build the mix being sent to Zoom. Pull up the faders for the Backing and instrument channels. Finally, in the iD menu, adjust the Loopback source to CUE A and you should now be getting audio into Zoom. Please note that this may not work on some macOS setups, due to the way zoom works on macOS. If you need more in depth assistance, please contact us at support@audient.com and we'll be happy to help!
@@Audientworld Thanks for the thorough instruction! Will try it out! Just wondering, would you guys ever release a 4 channel version of this interface?
Great instruction video but the background music is a BIG distraction. Its unnecessary or at the least too loud. Please listen it's just constructive criticism. Thanks
You can record from other applications by setting up a loop-back mix in your iD mixer software and then you can record this in Ableton via Inputs 11+12. You can also take the outputs of Ableton and feed this into other apps via the Loop-back mix.
We offer no official compatibility on Linux but as the iD14 is class Compliant, it may work on some Linux Distributions as a USB Class Complaint Audio Device, however as you cannot access the software you would lose access to features such as direct monitoring, cue mixes and the optical inputs.
@@Audientworld thank you for answering!!! I use Linux Mint as my primary OS but just in case I kept a windows installation on an other ssd in my desktop!!! 👍
is this something that will be able to be integrated into existing iD44 or is it just limited to the MKII of any of the versions? i'd love to be able to use this with my iD44
@@Audientworld Thanks for the answer guys. Have to say I'm sad about that considering I have a flagship model of yours. I could imagine you guys have some implementation problems in "old" interfaces, but as a consumer, it opened my mind to research another brand. Unfortunately, because I love your products, I already bought 4 interfaces and I have 5 friends who brought the same interface due to my recommendations. I know LoopBack is not a decisive feature to buy a interface, but I understand that this is just the first feature my interface doesn't get access to. From now on, it's just the beginning.
Hello again, Just to clarify, the only reason we're unable to add loopback to the iD44 is because the hardware on the interface itself doesn't support the additional channels required for loopback. With the MKII and EVO interfaces, they were designed from the beginning to support loopback which is why they have this feature. We have no plans to stop supporting the iD44 at any point in the near future and will continue to provide updates and new features going forward. I hope this helps to explain our process regarding updates.
If you are on Windows, you should be able to select the Loopback inputs as your audio device in the Discord audio settings. Unfortunately, on macOS, you're not able to select the audio channel you are using so its not possible to access the loopback channels on Discord at this moment in time.
This is all good when the id14 mk2 doesn't crash. Never had a usb audio interface crash on me like this does. Fortunately, I'll probably be sending it back. Oh, by the way Audient never returns my email. Another red flag. Now when it works it works well. I even did a clean install of windows 10 which didn't help.
Hello, it's certainly not normal for the interface to be crashing so it does sound like there's a USB connection issue occurring here. Can you let me know you ticket number that you have open and I can check why you've not heard back as we do try and get back to all tickets as soon as we can, despite a particularly busy time at the moment.
If you’re looking at audio interfaces for OBS and don’t have any MIDI devices that require monitoring, don’t even hesitate. Just get this.

I want to live stream with obs. And I use cubase daw .How can I setting loop back ?
The setup would depend on what OS you are using and what you are trying to send. Can you send more details of your setup to support@audient.com and we can help you!
Does loopback work with digital inputs (along with mics inputs) in the mixes of id14 mk2 ?
You can also use the Digital inputs as part of the loopback mix just as you can with the Mic inputs.
Does loopback also work with the MK one? I’ve had the mk1 for about 2 years now , just wondering if I have access to it. Thank you
The loopback features are only available on MKII units I'm afraid. The MKI hardware doesn't support loopback so we're not able to add this to MKI units through a firmware update.
Can i use this option to play guitar along a backing track that is playing through youtube on my computer and then record it all together?
Yes, you certainly can. You'd just setup the backing track to be sent out of the Loopback outputs and then in the Loopback mixer, pull up the fader for the Mic 1 and Mic 2 channels so that. your guitar is being recorded as well as the backing track.
@@Audientworld Thank you so much for the explanation, I highly appreciate it, i've ordered my Audient today ;)
The loop-back feature only works with 44.1 kHz. I wonder why is that? Any other Sample Rate would FAIL. If you open your DAW (Bitwig in my case) you are no longer able to hear your system audio, only when you choose 44.1 kHz you could hear and loopback (to record) your System Audio Output in your DAW.
The loopback feature should work at all sample rates. Just ensure that your DAW session and your system audio are bth working at the same sample rate.
Hi! Im having trouble using my Audient id4 mk2 for zoom. I have my Mic plugged via XLR Input at the back and my acoustic plugged in the input at the front. But I cant get to loopback my audio directly zoom for both Mic 1 and Mic 2. Can I do this without a DAW?
If you are going directly into Zoom then you shouldn't need to go via a DAW, you'd just need to select iD4 Input 1+2 as your audio input on Zoom.
If you are having difficulties, send details of your full setup across to support@audieht.com and we can help you get this set up.
@@Audientworld Yes it worked easily like a charm! I didnt choose Audient Id4 as my sound card and it was still running through my laptops mic instead. I just selected "Audient id4" in both microphone input and speaker output in zoom and it works right away. Thanks Audient for the reply!
Is it possible to do loopback with the Audient Sono?
I'm afraid the Sono doesn't have the Loop-back feature.
How can I do something like this in a iD22? Thanks.
The Loopback function isn't available on iD22 but there are other software solutions which also provide this functionality. Or you can simply connect an output of the iD22 back around to an input to make a physical loopback route.
Hello audient , we need asio drivers in windows pc for id4 and 14 mk2 or not ?
You will need to install the Audient Drivers on Windows PC's which are readily available on our website and ensure the best performance from your interface.
@@Audientworld great
Everythings great, but after using, how to turn off loopback?
The Loopback channels are always active but you can simply not selelct the loopback channels in your DAW to stop them recording.
Hey there!
I'm purchasing an iD14 MKII interface to replace my current setup. I mainly want to use for live streaming some music performances on zoom with backing tracks and click/cues.
How would i go about setting it up in the iD app so that Everyone hears backing tracks, my mic and instrument that is plugged in without the click track? Does it have to with routing in my DAW?
Any help would be amazing! Trying to replace my clunky setup! Thanks
In Zoom, you would set the input to the iD14 Loopback input. Then in your DAW, set up your channels so that your backing tracks and anything else you wish to send to zoom is output to channels 1+2 and your click track is output to channels 3+4.
Now in the iD mixer mixer, click on the Main Mix button, we'll use the Main Mix as your own monitoring mix. Pull up the faders for the tracks you want to hear, such as the click, backing and instruments.
Then click onto CUE A where we will build the mix being sent to Zoom. Pull up the faders for the Backing and instrument channels.
Finally, in the iD menu, adjust the Loopback source to CUE A and you should now be getting audio into Zoom.
Please note that this may not work on some macOS setups, due to the way zoom works on macOS. If you need more in depth assistance, please contact us at support@audient.com and we'll be happy to help!
@@Audientworld Will try this out! I'm on Windows so should be fairly straightforward! Awesome and thanks for the info! Excited to try this out!
@@Audientworld Thanks for the thorough instruction! Will try it out! Just wondering, would you guys ever release a 4 channel version of this interface?
Our iD44 and EVO 8 are both 4 channel interfaces tat are similar to the iD14 MKII so I would reccomend checking them out!
Great instruction video but the background music is a BIG distraction. Its unnecessary or at the least too loud. Please listen it's just constructive criticism. Thanks
how can I work with the loopback feature on Ableton Live?
You can record from other applications by setting up a loop-back mix in your iD mixer software and then you can record this in Ableton via Inputs 11+12. You can also take the outputs of Ableton and feed this into other apps via the Loop-back mix.
@@Audientworld thank you so much! I will try this 🤜🤛
Super helpfull! but please slow down a little bit hahaha! thank you
i was about to aqcuire an app called loopback to do this without realizing that it was built right into my audient iD14 MKII
Is compatible with Mac mini m1 Big Sur?
It sure is! Jut make sure you have the latest software version from our website.
Is it compatible with Linux OS? If not full functionality at least the basics?
We offer no official compatibility on Linux but as the iD14 is class Compliant, it may work on some Linux Distributions as a USB Class Complaint Audio Device, however as you cannot access the software you would lose access to features such as direct monitoring, cue mixes and the optical inputs.
@@Audientworld thank you for answering!!! I use Linux Mint as my primary OS but just in case I kept a windows installation on an other ssd in my desktop!!! 👍
is this something that will be able to be integrated into existing iD44 or is it just limited to the MKII of any of the versions? i'd love to be able to use this with my iD44
Hey Johnny, this is something that is only possible on the MKII interfaces I'm afraid!
@@Audientworld well that's a bummer, but it makes sense. thanks!
@@Audientworld that sucks considering the ID44 is the “flagship”.
@@Audientworld any plans on ID44mkii?
I cant record my instruments on ableton. Not sure if i doing something wrong but ableton dont show me the source coming in at every single channnel

Guys, I have an ID44. Can I use this feature here? @audient
Unfortunately, Loopback is only available on iD4 (MKII), iD14 (MKII), EVO 4 and EVO 8.
@@Audientworld Thanks for the answer guys. Have to say I'm sad about that considering I have a flagship model of yours. I could imagine you guys have some implementation problems in "old" interfaces, but as a consumer, it opened my mind to research another brand. Unfortunately, because I love your products, I already bought 4 interfaces and I have 5 friends who brought the same interface due to my recommendations.
I know LoopBack is not a decisive feature to buy a interface, but I understand that this is just the first feature my interface doesn't get access to. From now on, it's just the beginning.
Hello again,
Just to clarify, the only reason we're unable to add loopback to the iD44 is because the hardware on the interface itself doesn't support the additional channels required for loopback.
With the MKII and EVO interfaces, they were designed from the beginning to support loopback which is why they have this feature. We have no plans to stop supporting the iD44 at any point in the near future and will continue to provide updates and new features going forward.
I hope this helps to explain our process regarding updates.
How can I use Loop-Back in discord?
If you are on Windows, you should be able to select the Loopback inputs as your audio device in the Discord audio settings.
Unfortunately, on macOS, you're not able to select the audio channel you are using so its not possible to access the loopback channels on Discord at this moment in time.
@@Audientworld Oh, I see;( I’m on mac. Thank you
This is all good when the id14 mk2 doesn't crash. Never had a usb audio interface crash on me like this does. Fortunately, I'll probably be sending it back.
Oh, by the way Audient never returns my email.
Another red flag.
Now when it works it works well. I even did a clean install of windows 10 which didn't help.
Hello, it's certainly not normal for the interface to be crashing so it does sound like there's a USB connection issue occurring here. Can you let me know you ticket number that you have open and I can check why you've not heard back as we do try and get back to all tickets as soon as we can, despite a particularly busy time at the moment.
