Excellent review Brother! You cover the whole gambit of usage. I just received my iD14 mkII and can't say enough about it. I think my guitars alone went up 3 notches in pickup character alone from the really clean JFET impedance and circuitry. Better than a cloud lifter and the mic pre's shine with clarity. Add to that the stellar output and S/N. Your video is like a users manual. Refreshing, when all too many other YT reviews are just a hodgepodge of echoing vague first impressions. Your review shows you are covering the important and useful possibilities. Gave you a thumbs up. Thank You!
Yes, I'm not personally a fan of videos where folks simply give you an opinion (hype) and don't even show the function of a plugin or interface. I always try to focus on function, not hype.
you're amazing! bought a id14 after my long lasting interface died and was so confused since it's my first time using audient. you saved me ! subscribed !
Great video! I'm just getting into home recording and have been really studying up what interface I want. I've narrowed it down and decided the id14 is perfect for me. This video was fantastic and information, very much appreciated brother!
This was a very clean and easy-to-follow video! Thank you 🙌🏻 Waiting for my unit for my home studio, and to use for drum tracking together with the 18i20!
First time owning any audio interface. No guide. Found your video and it solved everything. May have to test every option one by one while watching to make it sure that i know and implement everything correctly when needed. But, since your guide is there i can refer to it any time if in doubt. Thanks again.
Excellent guide! The question I needed answered was if I could view the input levels in the mixer while setting gain, because the iD series does not display input levels on the hardware meters.
As a complete Newbie to Audio interfaces I have been watching several videos on how to set them up and learn the process in which use them correctly...It has been Mind Melting!! Until now... your video Is AWESOME! Do you have any ohter videos for the first timers to learn the very basics of daws and/or doing voice overs? Thanks So Much For Your Work On this Video
I have some other Audio Interface videos that would be suitable for beginners to pros ruclips.net/p/PLEul48o1WdHszndjc0uadttXszwH2S6ec I don't think I have anything specifically for DAW basics or Voice Overs, but those issues are covered in several microphone and plugin review videos.
Thank you for the detailed review. I ended up buying this audio interface. Extremely satisfied! However, i am having a small issue and haven't found a solution so far. I am using OBS to stream and i set the input device for my mic at the "Analogue 1/2 (2-Audient iD14)". This is the exact description in OBS. I am getting signal, the sound is good, but something limits the volume coming into OBS at max -6dB . I can't get beyond that. I've looked into the filters of the Mic and there is nothing there, no limiter. I've tried a usb mic to see if the issue is OBS or my audio interface, and with the USB i can get it clipped. On the iD14 , i have connected my mic via XLR on input Mic/Line 1. No matter if i have the volume knob turned at 75% or 100% on the iD14, it will still limit the output going into OBS. Does anyone knows what's causing the issue? Thanks fam.
This is a great video, I've had my ID44 for a while now and love it. But was always use to physical monitor/DAW controls on previous interfaces so this helps understanding the function in the software realm
Thank you for this video mann! I like how he puts in a little humour here and there "having pizza for lunch" and the cutie dog not a guitar - I mean I enjoyed watching the whole video while learning something new! Thanks mann!
I am very pleased and excited when I have finally received mine today. I don't care much of their software because I'm using surface pro-8. Studio one seems the way to go. Anyways, Great video man. Going to watch this again to learn all these type of features
Ahhh thank you! I swapped my settings and it changed my sample rate on the loopback under the control panel. I've spent the last half hour trying to figure out why loopback stopped working! Aaaahhhh
Whenever Audient ID14 MK2 is powered off between PC boots, it should initialize at 0% volume. Sometimes, however, it will initialize at 100% volume instead and stay at that level until the user moves the scroll control wheel (then it immediately jumps to 0% where it should be). ID mixer shows the card being at 0% volume, while you can clearly hear it being dangerously loud (as a precaution, I had to permanently lower my monitors' volume to survive these situations, as it's a serious health hazard otherwise). please help me if you also got this issue!
Why dont any blogger tell that this card is getting reset volume after each pc restart . You must manually turn back your comfortable volume gain by volume knob each time. It doesnt have any memory. Its annoying. As i use only headphones - its very uncomfortable that this card doesnt have a separate HP volume knob.
My only problem so far this interface, that I am never sure about the phantom power is on or not. I wish there would be a LED or something. Left-right doesn't really map into anything in my brain. I'm trying to remember it as "if it points to 48V it means it adds that".
First of all, holy shit that was so beautifully in depth and you answered so many questions I've had about loopback that I've been scowering for, awhile now. But of course it has raised another question for me. Once in awhile I perform at open mics on a lil "social game" called VRchat and the loopback function is going to solve many problems I've had. However I'm realizing that since I'm going to be likely sending my 1-2 to OBS or possibly straight to VRC (I may be wrong about that second option), the live audience in VRchat will likely hear themselves as well no? I think there's probably an easy answer to this that I'll figure out once I get my hands on it (likely by using a Cue mix and sending that to VRC instead?). Lemme know if I'm close or very wrong. Thx for reading my long assed question.
that crazy I have the same one but on Mac. and it doesn't show my sample rate!? also why can't I figure out how to turn off the direct monitoring ? trying to do the sound id Sonarworks and I can't since I can hear my microphone through the speakers. frustrating. great video sorry just wanted to speak on this
Great audio card. I bought it today and It get electric on USB cable. Means even your computer HD doesn't calculate for something you can hear the deep noise from speakers when you volume up maximum. But if you work on music studio like very quite one, you can hear the deep noise easily from Mark2. So I have mark1 also, I compared both and mark1 has not any deep noise if I use with adapter. If I m not using adapter, it makes same noise like mark2. Question is what will happen when you bounce your music or arrangement from your software, so will it bounce deep noise on music? I don't think so, I mean it shouldn't be.
can i use the interface without connecting to a DAW ? if i want to connect a line-in through the optical AND connect some analog inputs via XLR, can i hear everything mixed together through the headphone jacks or even through the analog outputs all at the same time ?
So as you said I get no sound from my computer speakers as intended. I plugged in headphones on the 3.5mm jack in the front with my guitar but still no luck with Amplitube/cubase to get input sound. p.s. when i have windows sounds though the audient i still dont hear anything on my headphones which should work. Any help?
I've recently picked up an ID44 and this video was SO helpful in getting more familiar - thanks! I have a question on routing if you can help? I am trying to use a reverb pedal as outboard gear and I have it running from Output 3 on ID44 to pedal input, then output into Input 1 on ID44. I am using Studio One with the pipeline plugin and when setting up I/O it's taking send from Output 3 and return from Input 1, but nothing is coming through when played back. Any ideas?
I have this interface. It works great with Cubase. But when I add an instrument track and add a vst, the DAW channel isn’t audible unless The Mixer is minimized! The track will actually stop playing when I maximize the Mixer. I hear the instrument monitoring fine but the DAW channel will not work unless the Mixer isn’t onscreen. This is odd, right?
Can you use a NT1a rode condenser mic into external mic preamp Gap73 > into la2a and 1176 compressor then > back into the line input of audient at the back ? with phantom power on or off ? ... not the di input but line in ? cheers
I have bought id14 yesterday, It's good but my new id14 release so much heat, before I use focusrite 2i2 it was not release that much heat. Please guide me sir.
There is one c type usb cable, how to used phantom power, is usb power is sufficient to activate phantom power, there is led circle the big knob for what purpose
Huge thanks! You helped a lot with understanding. But I didn't get one thing - now I have only one pair of monitors and can I hear any system sounds (browser for ex.) while using OBS? Cos' when I'm turning on system to 3-4, and using 1-2 for loop back I see the levels jumping but I don't hear enything - signal going on "second pair" of monitors? But if I didn't have them I can't hear sound, right? And doesn't care what position I choose in "View ---- Show System Panel", right?
Hi, This video was instrumental in me making my decision to buy this Interface. With Windows is there a way to not have the device default to 44.1k when the PC is restarted. I have to manually change this setting every time i restart my PC. for normal use. The only time I dont have to do this is if suing my DAW which has the option to "Request Sample Rate" and "Block Size"
great video, almost everything i wondered about was answered! the one thing you didn't say tho, What buffer size does one use for windows stuff like watching youtube, gaming etc? does high buffer affect latency from windows audio or is buffer size simply for recording?
Hey dude, really cool video! I want to ask if I can mix sounds to hear different levels of sounds in one headphones and for example vocalist can hear a different levels of mix? Or the mix is going in the same levels to both headphones at the same time?
Great Video thank you! Is it possible to use a EQ in the ID Mixer App on the output? To equalize your speakers. And can the interface be used with an iPad/Iphone or only a computer? Thank you!
Nope, the mixer does not accept plugins. The iD14 is not certified for iPadOS or iOS. Some people have gotten it to work, but its not made for that. If you want an interface for iOS, look to the Evo 4
Dude, this is a most excellent explanation of the device. I salute you!
Answered every question I had. Thanks for this. A must watch if you own this unit.
Even i got it clear that i know nothing, the explanation is that crystal clear. Congrats! And thank you!

do u use macOs or Windows? i cant with a windows :"/
Fabulous video. Clear instructions, easy to follow, important details all covered. You have a real talent for explanation.
I've had mine for a couple of weeks and this was tremendously helpful. I really hope Audient is hooking you up.
This is the best tutorial video I've ever watched.
Incredibly detailed and easy to follow.

Brother, you are a phenomenal teacher. I have watched a ton of your videos and you have 'saved me' many times. Thank you!
Excellent video! Thanks for going over the Loopback w/ OBS setup. Love this interface. Really appreciate it!
An excellent detailed explanation rare on youtube..I have shared it with couple of my friends as I'm too a proud owner of id 14 mk 2...Thnx Sir..
Damn, that's a wonderful video and a great showcase for the device! I'm sold! This looks like a smooth integration of everything I need.
Straight to the point. The best product review i've ever seen 👍
This was a great video. I have found myself returning to the video several time just to make sure I understood each step. Thanks
Excellent guide! The question I needed answered was if I could view the input levels in the mixer while setting gain, because the iD series does not display input levels on the hardware meters.
I'm new to all of this. That is all lol. Very complicated yet you make it understandable. Thank you for this video.
By far, the best video about the id 14. The OBS setup was terrific!! Thank you!
just bought mine, the upload timing of this couldnt be more perfect, thank you so much man!
Enjoy 👍
Super helpful for someone like me who has purchased this recently. I am sure I will continue to use this as a reference. Thanks!
Amazing video. Cleared many doubts about the interface. Thank you very much.
As a complete Newbie to Audio interfaces I have been watching several videos on how to set them up and learn the process in which use them correctly...It has been Mind Melting!! Until now...
your video Is AWESOME! Do you have any ohter videos for the first timers to learn the very basics of daws and/or doing voice overs? Thanks So Much For Your Work On this Video

just got mine thank so much, love this vid
Very detailed video, awesome!
I was looking for latency measurements when monitoring an electric guitar + DAW effects and that's exactly what I found.
Fantastic video. Have just placed my order for the ID 14. Thank you and congrats on a job well done
You sold me on this interface
Excellent explanation screen recording loop back is very usefull.🎉

Brilliant thank you dude. I'm old and clueless so your video is priceless, cheers dude 🙏✌🏼
Very useful video, I learned a lot, thank you for sharing!
Thanks! You just helped me solve a problem with my setup. Liked, shared, and subscribed!
I'm watching your video for the first time and I feel like I'm in the US army already 😅
This is great! Thank you, it really helped.
Very perfect review and explanation
Very good video --- excellent content and production values

you are a great teacher
With the volume button i will prefer switch with monitor and adjust their level, with id i can set to mono ...hope they do a update to do that
What's the best USB C to USB A cable?
Super!!! Thank you very much!
🤔 por que en el daw la señal del master no clipea y en el ID la señal de Daw 1+2 está pasando el 0? 🤔🤔🤔min 10:35
Does it work with Pro Tools 12 in Windows 10?
that crazy I have the same one but on Mac. and it doesn't show my sample rate!? also why can't I figure out how to turn off the direct monitoring ? trying to do the sound id Sonarworks and I can't since I can hear my microphone through the speakers. frustrating. great video sorry just wanted to speak on this
sera posible usar esa interfaz con pro tools 12.5?? en windows 11 o toca bajarlo a windows 10????
Thanks super helpful ☺️
is this better than the arturia minifuse interfaces?
X2
Nice. How is the latency when you monitor the digital inputs?
Excellent video!
I wonder if the id button on the regular iD4 also allows to switch between headphones and speakers? Anyway great video !
Great audio card. I bought it today and It get electric on USB cable. Means even your computer HD doesn't calculate for something you can hear the deep noise from speakers when you volume up maximum.

I don't think so, I mean it shouldn't be.
How to make it zero latency with abelton?
Thank you, sir.
Is scroll control only available on windows?
Great Video. I use Logic pro, When recording, can you send as an example, logic reverb to the vocals for monitoring, when using the ID mix soft wear
aida64 shows my id14 mkii is a usb 2.0 device but i have connected it to each of usb 4 and usb 3 ports of my asus fa707 laptop
is this a usb 2 device?
Like SSL and motu. Audient must include MIDI control
Do I also need to buy an Amp/Dac?
Is it possible to record in 88khz with a octapre via adat input? I mean, 10 inputs in 88khz sample rate? Thanx!!
can i use the interface without connecting to a DAW ? if i want to connect a line-in through the optical AND connect some analog inputs via XLR, can i hear everything mixed together through the headphone jacks or even through the analog outputs all at the same time ?
I got the same but the MK1 (USB ), it is the best deal money/quality !
So as you said I get no sound from my computer speakers as intended. I plugged in headphones on the 3.5mm jack in the front with my guitar but still no luck with Amplitube/cubase to get input sound. p.s. when i have windows sounds though the audient i still dont hear anything on my headphones which should work.

ID 14 MKII is cleaner than UA. What do you think.
Awesome vid!
Is there a way to get rid of the blinking light when only listening to headphones?
cant see the loopback in obs on mac... dont know what is the problem
I have bought id14 yesterday, It's good but my new id14 release so much heat, before I use focusrite 2i2 it was not release that much heat. Please guide me sir.
U just sold me on t his lad thnx for the info
There is one c type usb cable, how to used phantom power, is usb power is sufficient to activate phantom power, there is led circle the big knob for what purpose

The only time I dont have to do this is if suing my DAW which has the option to "Request Sample Rate" and "Block Size"
Could you also include system sounds, like RUclips playback in the OBS scene through the Audient software?
great video, almost everything i wondered about was answered! the one thing you didn't say tho, What buffer size does one use for windows stuff like watching youtube, gaming etc? does high buffer affect latency from windows audio or is buffer size simply for recording?
Buffer size is really relevant for sound that needs processing. Games and videos have already been processed so, in short, they're fine.
Wait, so complete noob here: Can you drive your audio from pc via optic cable into the device, right?
I’m using i5 2nd gen with usb 2.0 ports when i connect my id14 my pc started to hand is it issue in my pc?
Hey dude, really cool video! I want to ask if I can mix sounds to hear different levels of sounds in one headphones and for example vocalist can hear a different levels of mix? Or the mix is going in the same levels to both headphones at the same time?
04:20 very sad not available to control different audio jack sound.. Would be nice to have 2 different headphones..
Great Video thank you! Is it possible to use a EQ in the ID Mixer App on the output? To equalize your speakers. And can the interface be used with an iPad/Iphone or only a computer? Thank you!
Nope, the mixer does not accept plugins. The iD14 is not certified for iPadOS or iOS. Some people have gotten it to work, but its not made for that.
If you want an interface for iOS, look to the Evo 4
Can you record your guitar and microphone at the same time? Or when DI is being used it bypass the mic input?
