Audient Arvostelua 430

The unboxing of the product right to the moment you power it on is perfect. The documentation + app to update + videos to get you going are great! It really feels like a high end product. Nothing to complain about this unit but sometime the computer and the interface don't connect on first try ( may need to power ON/OFF a couple of times for them to connect ). This interface delivered with a 6 months SonarWork + a measurement microphone is BONKER!! Very useful. The UI and the computer interface is very well done ( compared to most of the high end interface on the market ).

It doesn't make sense how good it sounds and what it can do for the price.

I pulled it out of service. I can't have equipment that suddenly stops recording, stops working, suddenly doesn't show up as a device.
Once I see that, it goes away from my recording chain. Maybe some really bored day, I'll have times to troubleshoot why, and I'll be really fascinated by some Audient AI suggestion bot telling me to try this and try that. Not today. It's just gone

I really like the concept of ORIA Mini and when it works, the sound quality and room correction integration are excellent. However, my experience with firmware stability and macOS compatibility has been extremely frustrating.
During a firmware update on macOS, the unit became stuck in DFU/recovery mode and was essentially unusable. The updater repeatedly failed, the firmware process froze, and I had to spend hours troubleshooting the device myself. In the end, I had to install Windows through Bootcamp on my Mac just to recover and reflash the unit successfully — something that should never be necessary on a modern professional audio product designed for Mac users.
Even after recovery, I still experience unresolved USB issues on macOS:
when connecting USB devices or rebooting the Mac, ORIA sometimes produces crackling/glitching audio;
USB-C power/noise behavior is inconsistent;
support has not replied regarding these ongoing problems.
For a product targeted at professional studios and Mac-based workflows, firmware recovery and driver stability need serious improvement. Companies in the pro audio world should provide:
reliable offline firmware tools,
stable macOS support,
faster technical support,
and better recovery procedures.
Again, the sound quality itself is great once everything works, but the software/firmware experience has been one of the most frustrating I’ve had with an audio device.

Pasa que mi placa evo 4 no funciona como deberia, se conecta pero no suena mos audifonos y cuando activo los 48V no pasa nada, yo uso FL Studio, cuando quiero grabar el sonido esta al mínimo y la perilla de volumen se sale facil, sin hacer mucha fuerza, eso que yo lo compre el 25 de Abril. Por ultimo no puedo utilizar el sofrware no abre en mi laptop

Interface does not work. It may work for a bit and then a terrible crackling noise overwhelms my headphones and it completely blows out until I restart it, and even then it doesn't work for a while. Probably the worst thing I have ever plugged in to my computer

So far so good! I use this thing all the time to record three tracks during 2 hour sessions and it does what I need it to do! The small controller console software really helps tighten things up on the fly with monitoring.
I haven't figured out yet if the preamps can be controlled the same way but I haven't really had the need to do a bunch of adjusting. I let a 1khz tone rip, dialed it in and have been working ever since.

My only "con" at the moment with it is, I'm finding some low end boosting with monitoring but I can't confidently say that the unit is adding it or not without more definitive testing. Which, I'm too busy for at the moment so, I'd say it's fine.

It is a great interface, use it with guitars and mics, great preamps and inserts. Awesome 👌

Sounds excellent but most inconvenient to use when switching between headphones and speakers compared to ssl2+.

My Audient ID4 MK2 sounds great overall and the preamps are really clean, but I’ve been having a serious issue with interference and noise. I often hear random crackles, buzzing, and static in my headphones, and sometimes the noise even gets into my microphone recordings. It’s frustrating because the audio quality itself is excellent when the interface works properly.

I’ve already tried a lot of common fixes — changing cables, switching USB ports, moving devices around my setup, adjusting gain levels, and checking software settings — but the problem still keeps happening. At this point I honestly don’t know if it’s caused by grounding issues, USB interference, drivers, or something else entirely.

Another thing I really dislike is the endless main volume knob. Since it’s not a fixed-position knob, the interface doesn’t remember where the volume “physically” was before shutting down the PC. Every time I start my computer, I end up adjusting things again just to get my gain back around -12 dB, which gets annoying fast. A normal knob with a start and end point would honestly feel much more practical for daily use.

The interface has good sound quality, low latency, and feels premium, but these interference problems and the volume control design make it harder to fully enjoy using it. If anyone had similar issues with the ID4 MK2 and managed to fix them, I’d really appreciate some advice because I’ve already spent a lot of time trying to troubleshoot it on my own.

The iD14 was very easy to install on Windows 11 computer. I had an issue with my AKG C214 mic, hissing and distorting at high gain, the iD14 seems to have fixed that. The mute feature, the easy switch from headphone to speakers, and the ID mixer are wonderful features.

It's a brilliant device - perfect for my set up. I switch my Evo 8 interface between 4 different computers and 3 sets of speakers with two subs and having all the settings embedded in hardware with zero latency is exactly what I needed. Sound quality is phenomenal.

There is Good Latency, It's been like 2 months now, since I started using this. It gets the job done, and the Wheel on top is more like the cherry on the cake. Handles everything with ease, very easy to operate, very minimal.
Although, the Plastic Body can be improved.

Great interface easy to use and sounds great

Great support with prompt solution for the problem !!!!

EASY TO HANDLE AND PROFESSIONAL YET POCKET FRIENDLY
It is a great experience to be using this EVO-8 mixer and audio interface from Audient, UK. It has made my YouTube creator experience reached the next level. It has helped me sing, play music and stream seamlessly. WOW! Great Experience.

Money well spent, one of the best purchases i’ve ever made for myself this interface helped me a lot in many ways!! Must buy!!

La interfaz es increíble, la calidad de amplificador en las entradas es bastante clara y fuerte. Me gusta que es muy fácil de usar y te muestra el nivel de entrada de señal y de salidas a los monitores. Se me hizo un gran upgrade en el estudio. Algo que me gustaría es poder controlar la señal del audífono 1 con el audífono 2 por separado

I bought the ID4 to use as an audio interface between my PC and studio monitors for consuming media, largely YouTube videos. I wanted a high quality digital to analogue conversion. I also wanted the ability to plug in an instrument should it be needed but I probably won't use it. The sound is very high quality and I couldn't be happier.

Excellent quality in this range. I think it's the best Audio Interface I've ever used in this price segment. Highly recommended.
