Hi Friends, today I’m sitting with my good friend Ulrich Wild and we are going to take a look at Audient's newest monitor controller the NERO! - I'm super excited about this one! Since the Audient Nero isn’t out yet and Ulrich is the only person with one in America, we had to drive a whopping 4 miles over to Ulrich’s house to try it out! - haha Ulrich has had the Nero for about two weeks now and is going to take us through what he thinks of the Nero monitor controller. Please enter to win the Audient Nero here:- bit.ly/304qhRR
I own the Audient ID44 and i am blown away with the quality of the ID44! I can only imagine how awesome this piece is!. I have multiple monitors (Neumann & Adams) along with a sub. and have been racking my brain as to how i could effectively marry them both to my sub! Well....now i know! As usual... VERY, VERY, Very..... nice video! Keep the awesome content coming! I am enlightened every time i watch!
Looks like a great unit. I wish these companies would make something cost effective that offers remote input panel so there are not all those cords routed on the desk.
Have been researching and in the market for a quality MC... finally bought the NERO after watching this review - it's a serious bit of kit; very pleased with my purchase. Cheers Warren, keep up the quality vids. No doubt Audient will be pleased ! :)
Wow, that device is really handy! I always have been struggeling with all the other controllers out there. There was always one feature which was missing in one device, but which had the other one and vice versa. Finally, that controller looks like a piece of gear that fits all needs. Giveaway form completed! :-) Thanks so much Warren and Ulrich!
@@Producelikeapro indeed and he makes good use of it! as do I of my space. The music is the thing that Audient Nero would have an honored spot on my desk!
Can you only listen to the sub in solo without any other set of speaker? I want to do that because I want to connect my single mix cube there and that way had 4 "sets" of speakers.
This looks super nice, but a few things I find lacking. -I’d like to have separate inputs for headphones as the way it’s set up (unless I’m missing something) is you can’t have separate/individualized monitor mixes -I’d like a high pass filter on the controller since my monitors are full range unless ran through a sub itself. A lot of monitors and subs only have one input, so without a HPF on the unit I’m stuck going always with a sub -a front access AUX input to plug in artists phones Still, great stuff and I imagine this is perfect for a lot of people!
Hey vutall, Thanks for the comment, just thought I'd clear some stuff up for you: - Each headphone output can be individually routed from any of the inputs. When Ulrich was showing how you can route talkback to each of the headphones, at the same time you can choose the input you would like to send to that particular headphone output. - I will pass the HPF feedback on! - While there isn't front access Aux connection, there is one on the rear panel intended for use with phones/ipods etc. So it would just be a case of running a cable round from the back. Hope that helps!
Audient Thanks for the reply! I appreciate you clearing that up! I must have missed that there was an aux in on the back, I certainly don’t mind just running a cable out, so scratch that one off the list. As far as The headphones go again thank you for clearing that up. Are there enough inputs that I can have a unique signal for each of the four headphones? Say a master for the mix to the engineer, a send that has only vocals, a send that has only guitar, and a send that only has bass?
@@Audientworld Can the Nero have multiple sources... 1 & 2 ...& or Aux input.... on at the same time? I need 2 ST outs from my Apollo to play at once. Thanks~!
I really wish that would make one of these with a single stereo trs input. So I could use my headphone jacks on my Apollo directly into the controller. I need a talkback solution without eating up an input and several outputs.
Can I set any of the ALT outs to be equal to the main out? This video shows that it is possible for the sub out but doesn't speak about the alt outs. I need an extra output for the main output, that's why.
The Nero is better than the presonus station v2? In terms of transparency, quality ... I have the presonus station v2, would it be worthwhile to change to Nero?
Ei Warren, how do i connect a subwoofer to the audient Nero i just bought? Just plug a Mono Jack from the SUB out on the back to the L in on the Sub? because on my Focal Sub One there is two conectors, Left and Right. Thank you if you can answer. I cant find anything about this metter on the web. How actually connect a Sub to the Audient Nero.
I’m curious about this as well as left right out of interface go to left right in on sub and out To near fields , focal as well and want this to share sub with a larger pair of focals … did you ever confirm it just Mono out to left side of Sub ?
Watching this made me remember something: Can you mix at night? How do you deal with it? I've heard people say that as the day passes by, our ears change their frequency response and hear less and less. So at night they're supposed to be at their worst.
Hi heavymetalmixer marvellous question! It all comes down to how long you’ve been listening, combines with frankly how tired you are! If you woke up at 4pm for instance I wouldn’t worry about working at midnight!
When you press POL and MON together: it cuts out the center, so - can you hear the sides in stereo, or you only hear side information on both speakers in MONO only? @Produce Like A Pro
Hi. What's the utility of 4 headphone cues in control room as opposed to having headphone amp in live room? I'm struggling to get musicians comfortable in tracking and headphone disrtibution/mix and 2 way communiciation is a mistery to me.
Does anybody know if I can use the aux to listen to whats in my DAW (my mix) and play it on my phone?? I doubt thats what its for but that would be a really dope feature as I usually decide how my mix holds up playing on phones, as mostly everybody listens to music on their phones. Thanks!
Its definitely a nice combination of features all working together nicely. Well done Audient and thanks for doing the overview vid. I see Ulrich has gone ITB ... I thought he had a Trident in a previous video? :-)
Hi Terry, thanks ever so much my friend! Cameron Webb has the Trident console! Ulrich has been in-the-box I believe for many years now. I hope you're well my friend!
BIG CONS! We can't hear multiple monitors at the same time!...The SUB buton is not ready to work alone so we can't hear only the SUB or even connect a Mono Auratone and to me the more horrible is that we can't hear multiple sources at the same time...So to me, that i bought one unit of this Gear i am disapointed. Also make my monitors Genelec crank whe it turns on! Otherwise great piece of gear... Good video Warren. ;)
Agreed. They missed a couple of opportunities to make this a more flexible, and near perfect device. I can easily see multiple use cases for which you'd want to hear multiple input sources simultaneously, and/or multiple speaker sets simultaneously. This would have been an insta-buy if those features had been included.

Amazing! Thanks Ulrich and Warren
Darlene Sheffield Thanks ever so much!
i didn t see on the review also can found on the manuals can i listen two pairs monitors simultaneously??? Not one par and sub..
From what I have seen no... just one at a time. But that’s kind of the point. : )
I own Audient iD14, I had few soundcards before. Form now on I only buy Audient. Quality to money ratio is insane.
Hi mikelo303 great to hear my friend!

Whopping 4 miles. I love it! Thanks Warren and Ulrich for giving us a peak at it!
Hi Tiffany Anthony Lamothe haha yes! The traffic can be horrendous!
Thanks Audient, Warren and Ulrich! This little big equipment seems fantastic!!
Hi Vesohag thanks ever so much my friend!

Chris Sweet yes! I know this is right up your alley Chris!
Thanks again Warren. We get to see all the coolest gear on your channel.
Thanks ever so much Michael!
Finally an affordable and fantastic quality monitor controller!!
Amazing to hear Art!!
The polarity mono button is awesome
Shane yes! Agreed 100%!
Awesome device! It surpasses everything I ever dreamt of. And I could see, Warren, you enjoyed that very much.
Jürgen Schuler yes! Fantastic!!
Amazing product! Simple and easy to use!
Thanks ever so much Darlene!
Looks like a great unit. I wish these companies would make something cost effective that offers remote input panel so there are not all those cords routed on the desk.
Yay! Tactile! This goes on my wish list! 💕 Thank you Ulrich & Warren & Audient Nero!

Aleksander Djuran haha thanks ever so much my friend!
That's so weird! I'm just watching Audient's promo video for that ..freaky!
Hi Toby Davis haha I will have to check it out!
Amazing, just in time after I got my kali's Would love to be able to switch between monitor sources.
Thanks ever so much my friend!! Glad to be able to help!
I saw the promo video from Audient on my instagram feed, I was hoping that you would review it! Awesome!
Thanks!
Hi Martin Luxen thanks ever so much my friend!
I got one of these when it first came out I've had it for about a year now and it's worth every penny

Hi Kineticartist indeed! It might be hard to tell but Ulrich’s Studio is very small as well!
@@Producelikeapro indeed and he makes good use of it! as do I of my space. The music is the thing that Audient Nero would have an honored spot on my desk!
Hi Kineticartist marvellous to hear!
why didnt u show how it goes thru the monitors sets? is is going smooth, just clicking the button and switching from main to alt 1 or two?

I am really hoping I will win this box. handy, great built and without a doubt greta box for my home setup!
Hi Krešimir Bikić fantastic!!
I NEED ONE thank you Warren I have a Behringer mini 4 ch
Hi Dan, thanks ever so much for sharing my friend!!
As far as the DAC, is it better than the heritage ram 2000 in ur opinion?
This is so useful box. I like it a lot. Black Clover, Nero! :D The name is on the spot!
Great stuff my friend!!
Looks awesome, but it's a bummer to have to run all those cables onto the desk.
Wow! Awesome trick with dim mode, thanks!
I really wish that would make one of these with a single stereo trs input. So I could use my headphone jacks on my Apollo directly into the controller. I need a talkback solution without eating up an input and several outputs.
That guitar tone is sick. Reminds me of Ministry. Curious what amp or sim was used.
haha man, I had the same question in mind!
Hi Blake Curtis I believe everything is real!
Marcos Cerutti all real! Ulrich does have Keller packs available though!
Honestly I'm more interested in the knowing what cat5/Ethernet based controllers sitting in the workflow set up of the desk are and how they function.
Artist Control and Artist Mix from Avid (though it looks like the Mix is one of the original Euphonix models.)
Can I set any of the ALT outs to be equal to the main out? This video shows that it is possible for the sub out but doesn't speak about the alt outs. I need an extra output for the main output, that's why.

This does not have a crossover right? Would that not an issue when using multiple pairs of speakers with a sub?

@@Producelikeapro I'll have to check out the album.
Richard James yes! Sounds amazing!!
Nice box, rocking" song.
Scott Peets Thanks ever so much!!
Hi Warren. Really great video! Is it possible to turn the TB on and off with a foot switch?
NERO Au... static pop's when turning it on... what is the cause, what is the fix?
I know this is about the box, but that tune was great. Has it been released yet?
Wid you say its better then presonus central monitor control.
If there was a Nero "light" version I would buy it so fast!
So wait, no compressor on the Talk Back Mic? LOL!
L. Scott Music haha it’s not quite ny 4000! But it’s amazing non the less!
