The iD24 and iD44 have the same internals, the only real difference is the channels counts so you'll get the same great audio quality regardless of how many channels you need!
I take from this video that i can route the main mix to the digital output. But does that mean it will be with volume control? So every input will go through the final master volume before send out? This would be a practical solution to my problem. I got DSP monitors with SPDIF inputs, but the volume can only be adjusted through their setup software.
Yes, if you assign the Main Mix to a digital output then this would be affected by the Master volume control which is ideal for feeding speakers via S/PDIF.
The insert returns on the iD24 will feed into the input for that channel, so Return 1 will appear on the Mic 1 channel of the mixer and Return 2 appears on the Mic 2 Channel.
Everytime I turn my system off, the next time I boot up I have to reset my master volume. Is there a way to set the monitor gain default in the software for consistent results?
This is by design on the iD24, to stop the unit booting up and suddenly playing loud audio through its outputs. At this moment in time its not possible to add a default starting volume but I will feed this back to our software team.
Hello, I have a question, I connect a focusrite to my id24 through adat with 2 optical cables, the software turns the light green but no audio enters any of the 8 digital channels, do I have to configure something from the Audient software? Thank you
If you've got a green clock light then your iD setup should be correct. Have you setup the Focusrite so that it will send audio from its inputs to its optical outputs?
@@Audientworld ahhh I didn't do that, do I have to do it from the Focusrite software? because I can't connect the board to the pc because it is firewire
It does depend on the Focusrite model you are using but some of them do require you to configure the routing before it can be used as a standalone pre-amp. I'd recommend checking with the Focusrite support team
cool video! i have an id14mk2 its great. one thing i did notice was the exported files from Ableton change when the volume levels of DAW1+2 change, for example the render at -30 db on the slider doesnt null to the render done at 0db unity gain. in fact to my ears the render done at -30db on the DAW1+2 output of the mixer soudns deeper and warmer. is there any more info on this? is there some convertor wizardry at play lol. would be great to hear if you could get back to me or if anyone else knows the "optimal" level of the daw1+2 slider before exporting your project :)
All the rendering in Ableton is done within the DAW so the position of the DAW 1+2 fader won't make a difference to the audio file that Ableton outputs. The only exception to this would be if you are using Loop-back or feeding tracks from your DAW out to hardware effects.
Hi audient, the id24 does it ship with only USB C TO C Cables or it also ship with USB C TO A like the id44, my Windows PC Dont carry USB C or THUNDERBOLT 3 ports, it only have USB 3.0 ports with the blue strip in it. Will this type of ports be sufffiecient for the ID24?
Hello there, The iD24 ships with just a USB-C to USB-C cable. You can use the iD24 with a USB-C to USB-A cable for use with USB3.0 ports however, you'd just have to purchase a different cable separately.
You'd want to take the line output of the UV1 and feed this into the Insert Return 1 of the iD24. You can then record your input using input channel 1 in your DAW.
Hi, Is it possible to make a routing like that in ADAT protocol on ID24 : Analog in 1/2 to digital out 9/10 Daw return 1/2 to digital out 11/12 Daw return 3/4 to digital out 13/14 Daw return 4/5 to digital out 15/16 The goal here is to route all my input on the ID MIXER after a quick mix to 4 differents channels output in an another audio interface on dedicated to mixing. Best regards.
Unfortunately, you do not have enough CUE mixes on the iD24 to do this. You can achieve this in other ways though. Use CUE A to feed Analog In 1+2 to Digital output 9/10. Then sed Digital outputs 11-16 to DAW THRU. Now in your DAW, change your output channels from Outputs 1-6 to Outputs 11-16. This will then be sent to the digital outputs at full scale so it can be fed to another interface
To directly monitor your inputs, open the iD mixer app and pull up the faders of the channels you wish to monitor. You can directly monitor both your Mic and Digi inputs.
I have a problem with id24. Ableton can see signal from my mics so i can record which is cool but windows get zero signal from all of inputs. Does anyone has the solution?
You can just flip the -10dB switch for that channel to add a -10dB pad on that XLR input. If you need more attenuation, you can of course just make use of a XLR barrel pad that you just plug into the unit.
@@Audientworld Thank you. And is it any different from iD22? Because some people say iD22 sounds better and I want to make sure I get the best sound with the iD24 or iD14 mkii.
The iD22 does have a different DAC to iD24 and iD14 MKII. Spec-wise the iD24 and iD14 MKII do have higher specs than the iD22 so I'd recommend going with the newer interfaces to get the best audio quality.
Hi, I just installed my iD24, but there is no control panel in the mixer, nor a sample rate in the drop down menu. Is there an invisible button/magic stroke? 🤕
On macOS the sample rate/buffer size is handled through the Audio MIDi setup app rather than via the iD mixer. You should be able to open the system panel in the iD mixer by going to View > Show System Panel, or by pressing Command + 4 as a shortcut.
im curious about using the id24 as a standalone unit, with an external ADAT interface. Is it possible to route the mic/line/instruments inputs of the id24 to the ADAT outputs, and the ADAT inputs of the id24 to the main line and headphone outputs?
It wouldn't really be possible to use the iD24 as a standalone unit as you would need access to the iD mixer software to setup this routing so it would need to be plugged into a PC or Mac. Unlike the iD44, the iD24 doesn't have the standalone state function so its not possible to store settings on the unit itself.
@@Audientworld if it was plugged in to a computer, would it be possible to use the mix software to send the digital IO as described in my original message?
Yes, this would be possible. You would use the CUE A, to send audio from the two inputs to the Optical output. You can then use the MAIN MIX and CUE B to send audio from the optical input to the Main Speaker output and the Headphone output. The iD24 would need to be plugged into the PC the whole time however.
I’m looking to use an external DAC and amp combo for my headphones with the id24, when using spdif for the outputs does it 1. Bypass the inbuilt D/A converters 2. Does it show only two channel in the digital outs, if so how would I route them to one of the cue mixes. When using the line outs on my id14 I can set the headphones to be the second cue mix, this allows me to independently mix the audio of the headphones while using an external dac amp, would this be possible when using optical?
Hello there, Yes the S/PDIF outputs will bypass the onboard D/A and allow you us your own external D/A instead. If you go to the system panel, you can choose either CUE A, or CUE B as your source for the Optical outputs so you can route your CUE mix to them. It works in the same way as on the iD14's Analog outputs
Audient when choosing to “update firmware” I’m given 2 options but I’m not allowed to select option 1 which is what I believe would be standard or default. Why is this? Option 1. From audient Option 2. From file
There currently aren't any firmware updates for the iD24 as its only recently been released. Therefore there are no firmware files on our update server for the iD app to pull down, hence why it is greyed out.
In the menu bar of the mixer window go to View > Show System panel. You can also press Command+4 (macOS) or CTRL+4 (Windows) to quickly open and close the system panel as a shortcut.
To hear yourself, you can just pull up the faders for the Mic 1 and Mic 2 channels in the iD mixer application. You will then be directly monitoring the inputs with almost zero latency.
Thank you for this video man. No one on RUclips has went into depth like this but you all and I thank you for that!
Is there a difference in sound quality and access speed between id24 and id44, or is it just the number of inputs and outputs? Thank you ,
The iD24 and iD44 have the same internals, the only real difference is the channels counts so you'll get the same great audio quality regardless of how many channels you need!

Is there any diffrence in quality of Audio in Id4 vs I'd 14
No, the audio path is the same, they just have different numbers of Inputs and outputs.
@@Audientworld and what about Evo 4 in terms of sound quality only
EVO 4 has slightly lower specs due to its lower price point but will still deliver great sounding recordings and playback.
Hi. Is it possible to connect and operate at the same an iD14 and an iD4 interface on the same pc? Do both use the same software and driver?
I'm afraid its not possible to use two iD interfaces on the same PC at the same time
