I've used the iD44 and the iD4 MKII with Windows 11 extensively, and I haven't run into any major issues. Feel free to shoot me a message via the NSI website (link in description) if you're still having problems. Happy to see if I can help, but I'd have to take a closer look at what all is going on.

@@ninesixindie like i said Tried every setting but still no luck I think I'm going to return it

It sounds like you've indeed done some solid troubleshooting so far. It's totally within your right to say you've spent enough time trying to get it to work properly.

My audio format for this type of scenario is 24-bit, 48kHz WAV. I use the EXH-6 in this case to ideally get a feed of the same stereo mix the audience is listening to, via a connection from the mixing board at the event. From there I turn up the gain knobs on the EXH-6 and aim to get the F1 meters hovering around -12 to -9 (middle to middle-high on the F1 meters). It is certainly possible that you will have to engage the pad if the stereo feed from the mixer is coming in too loud before you even really start turning up the EXH-6 gain. To do this, you would flick the switch next to the EXH-6 gain knobs from the "0" position to the "-20" position. I had to engage the pad for the performance recording in this video, for example.

I have the F1 zoom going into my Sony ax 700 camcorder but I'm having trouble finding the right audio settings so I'll try yours 👍🏽

@@kreative-tv Nice, I hope the info helps. If that's the case, you will likely also need to set a level going into your camcorder. This can be done by turning the level of your headphone output on the F1 up or down as needed. Your camcorder should have an audio meter display. The same general workflow should apply here. Aim to have the meter hovering/averaging around the middle of the meter. If done properly, you should get a healthy level that is not clipping/digitally distorting.

Go to my page and watch a minute of one of the bands and tell me what you think of the audio

I checked out "Hotel California". It doesn't sound bad, considering that you're probably using the shotgun mic that comes with the F1-SP or the lav/clip-on mic that comes with the F1-LP. Those mics are good budget mics. But making friends with the front-of-house engineer and getting a mixer feed straight from the board can sound like the mix you're hearing right at the event. Even if you just give the engineer your F1 for a bit to stay on their tech table capturing a recording, then sync that recording up in post. If that's not possible then a more professional/expensive shotgun mic may help. But even so... If I'm recording a video of a live show, I want a mixer feed all the way. The front-of-house mixer is where the best show audio (what the audience hears) comes from.

Hi, thank you. I appreciate your comment and question. I ran a test today with the Zoom lavalier/clip-on mic, and 2 Shure SM58 mics. Yes, the 3.5mm input is immediately disabled/bypassed as soon as the EXH-6 is connected. At that point the clip-on/lavalier mic that is plugged into the 3.5mm input will not capture/pass any sound, and you cannot adjust the gain level for that mic. You would be using the EXH-6 inputs exclusively once it is connected. Whether you plug in 1 mic or 2 to the EXH-6.

Are you looking for a recording tutorial on Reaper and/or Studio One? If so, thank you for the suggestion. I'll take it into consideration. I've never used Reaper. But I use Studio One sometimes.

You're welcome! Thank you for watching.

Thanks for your question, and apologies for the delay. I was on site at work yesterday. It looks like you may have the iD44 MKii, and therefore the labelling may be a bit different than for me. But based on what you're saying... I would go Analogue 1/2 for both input and output. This would match how I set up my inputs and outputs in this video.

Ahh alright then, it just confused me to have the same labeling for IN and OUT 😅thank you so much for the answer1 👀🤍​@@ninesixindie nice videos btw!

Thank you! I hope it's helpful.

Are you referring to the iD44 MKII, or the iD4 MKII? If referring to the iD44 MKII... That's interesting. 🤔 I have not yet worked with the iD44 MKII, and I've been wondering about how different it is to work with. If referring to the iD4 MKII... The mixer is indeed different. For the iD4 MKII - I haven't used the mixer much at all, since it is a loopback mixer (it serves a different purpose than what is shown in this video). I use the "Monitor Mix" knob on the iD4 MKII, and the right-click (bottom right "iD" logo in Windows) menu options to configure that interface.

Yes, it is possible to charge an iPhone while using the MVi. With wireless charging. I tested this with the MVi connected to the lightning port of an iPhone 13 Pro Max. The phone was set on top of a wireless charger. The phone was charging, and all MVi functions worked as they should during the test.

Hi, thanks for your question. The download link is in the description for this video.

@@ninesixindie thanks my G

Thank you! I can't say that I have noticed any substantial lag/slowdown, with the iD software. I've been using the Audient iD4 MKII lately. It utilizes the iD software (a slimmed-down version, since the iD4 is a slimmed-down interface). I hovered the mouse and clicked around today to double-check, and ran into no issues on my end.

Hi! No problem, these are valid questions. 1) Yes. You would be using a standard XLR male to female cable, with the male end connected to the MVi, and the female end connected to the SM58. 2) Yes, I can confirm that the MVi can record audio from the SM58 (or any compatible mic) while using the standard iPhone Camera app. Thanks for asking!

@@ninesixindie thanks for the reply! I’ve been trying to figure this one out for a while now :) you rock!

@@LukeDhey You're welcome! And thank you again for reaching out.

You're welcome! The setup shown in this video is for direct/low-latency monitoring. This way, you monitor your mic/live input through the iD software. You would then need to mute your input channel in your recording software (Pro Tools, in my case). At least while actively recording takes. This is so you're not hearing the direct input from the iD software combined with the delayed input from your recording software.

Hi Allen, I hope you find the answers you're looking for, on this. From a quick search I was able to find that the iD44 interface and iD software are said to be compatible with the latest version of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (convenience rollup update), or later versions of Windows... So it's possible that it may work with your system. However, I can't say that I've tested the interface with any version of Windows 7 to prove compatibility.

That's fair to say. There's definitely easier ways. For instance, Studio One has since been updated to include dedicated tape stop/tape start effect functionality. Quicker and simpler, from what I've seen. And Vari-Fi (for Pro Tools) is the best and easiest plug-in for this effect, in my opinion.

Agreed, 100%. The EXH-6 XLR inputs do not provide phantom power.

I'm glad you're liking it so far. Yeah, I've not had any issues with it. In my opinion it certainly gets the job done. And agreed, it can be nice having a small/light kit when on the go.

I see you found some info in the comments. I'm heading over to reply on that thread.

You're welcome!

Hello.

Hi, thank you for your question. Cassette Transport appears to be a free/optional companion plug-in to Cassette, as far as I can tell. I say this because from what I saw while doing a bit of research, Cassette (the paid plug-in) does not have transport controls (play, stop, etc.).

Hi, thank you for asking. I can confirm that I've used it with my Android phone to record audio. I haven't used it while recording audio + video on Android, but I do believe it'll work just the same. I'll test it out with audio + video this evening, and get back to you with confirmation.

@@ninesixindie greaat 😱 thank you so much! 🙌 I read that with an app: shureplus motiv video, I read that using this app is possible record audio and video on Android, but I haven't found someone confirming that 😮 Thank you so much! 😃

You're welcome! I am following up to confirm that the MVi does work with my Android phone, for audio + video. I recorded video today using the Motiv Video app, as well as the stock Camera app on my phone. The audio for the video was captured by my SM58 mic and the MVi. Audio + video playback was smooth, after recording. And the audio was in sync with the video.

@@ninesixindie you are very kind, you have helped me a lot, thank you very much 😃 Would be a good idea if you make a video of that, I saw a looooot of people asking the same that me, and nobody get an answer 😱 You are the very first that trie and confirm that 😱 Blessings 🙌😃🙌

I'm glad I could help! Thanks again for your question, and I appreciate your suggestion. Will consider it. All the best!

Hi. Thanks for your question. This does record 2 mics separately/independently, but not as 2 mono tracks. The Zoom F1 will record a stereo file with mic 1 on channel 1 (left), and mic 2 on channel 2 (right). Once the audio has been recorded, you can split the stereo file into 2 separate mono tracks using your preferred audio editing software... That's how I handled the audio for this video.

@@ninesixindie oh ok awesome!! thank you so much!

@@cassidyraebarrera You're welcome!

Thank you for your question. No. The Zoom F1-SP in combination with the EXH-6 does not support/work with standard condenser mics. This is because these particular Zoom devices do not supply phantom power, which is required to operate condenser mics. There are battery-powered condenser mics out there that would work, since they would have their own power supply. You could then connect to the Zoom F1, EXH-6 for recording purposes. However, I have not personally used a battery-powered condenser mic up to this point, and do not have any specific mics to recommend at this time.

Hi, thank you for your question. What is it that you are looking to accomplish, that you are having trouble with? Does the interface not power on when trying to use it with your phone? The MVi is a bus-powered interface, meaning it is meant to be powered by a computer (as you mentioned), or by an iOS or Android device. I recorded this video using the MVi with an iPhone. I have also used the MVi with a Galaxy Note 10+ phone, and my laptop. All 3 devices have powered the MVi successfully.

Hi. Thanks for the kind words, and for your question. I am using Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones in this video.

@@ninesixindie you are welcome and thanks again for your awesome video.

Hi, thank you for your question. Before setting the gain on your F1, please 1st ensure that you are feeding proper levels/audio signal to whichever mixer output/s you have connected to the Zoom F1. My initial suggested F1 settings for connecting to a mixer are: 1) Record format 16-bit, 44.1kHz, WAV 2) Have the -20dB pad switches on the front of the EXH-6 in the "on" position (pushed to the right-hand side) 3) Begin with the EXH-6 gain knobs turned all the way down (in the "0" position). Either play music through the mixer, or speak into a mic that's connected to the mixer while slowly turning the EXH-6 gain knobs to increase your gain level. Do this until you are happy with the level/sound you are getting on the F1. Please do let me know if this helps, or if you need further assistance.

@@MrSalvador1971 You're welcome! And ok.

@@ninesixindie My friend it is working. With the setting you suggested it works just perfect. Thank you very much I really aprémiate it. Since I couldn’t figure it out before I was about to buy a 600 dollars recorder, but not anymore since these little guys can do the job. Thanks to your videos.

@@MrSalvador1971 Awesome! I am glad to know that everything worked out. Indeed, the ability to record a mixer feed with the F1 and EXH-6 comes in handy.

@@ninesixindie My friend I try to record an episode for my podcast. The sound from my mixer comes out perfect, but when I transfer it to my zoom via XLR port the sound doesn’t sound as good, And I can heard only on my right but not my left ear. Do you know why is that?

Thank you! I'm glad that this was helpful. I hope the mic serves you well, if or when you do end up getting it.

@@ninesixindie I ordered it today and getting it next week. I’ll let you know.

@@FASTTRACK2ENGLISH Ok, nice! Enjoy. Looking forward to hearing an update.

@@ninesixindie Happy New Year! I got the mic and I’m impressed. 👍🏻 I get a cool crisp sound. The only drawback is my phone case. I have to take it off but no biggie . Thanks 🙏 for your review!

@@ninesixindie Works nice 👍🏻 Nice sound she ease of use.

Thank you! The Audient iD44 simply met my needs and budget, at the time of purchase. I wanted 4 analog/XLR inputs... As I find that's a good number for recording vocals for music, as well as for podcasting/interviews. The Apollo and Antelope interfaces with 4 XLR inputs were over my budget. Otherwise, those interfaces are interesting options. In fact, I'm thinking an Apollo Twin X QUAD may be my next interface purchase, for portability purposes.

You're welcome. There's certainly value in finding out what's not for you. Best wishes, on finding what fits your needs.

If you are willing to go to these lengths, you can get yourself an Inline Phantom power adapter, some are small enough that you can use it on location!

Hi, thank you for your comment and for your inquiry. Sure, I'm happy to share my thoughts on the subject. I will follow up with you about this as soon as possible.

Thank you. I'm glad this was helpful.

Hi, and thank you for your questions. -Yes, it's possible to record 2 independent XLR mics without issue. I recorded this demo with just the 2 mics plugged into the EXH-6 via standard XLR cables. -Unfortunately I do not currently own the other Zoom field recorders you mentioned, and I'm not sure if/when I would have such access to them.

@@ninesixindie thanks for the reply. What if i just connected to one XLR. will it record stereo file? i'm looking for cheap solution to connect the SM58 but im still very blur. do we need phantom power for SM58?

@zogun It depends on what recorder you're using. If using the EXH-6 with the F1, the recording will be a stereo file, with the audio being on either the left or right channel depending on what EXH-6 channel you're plugged into. You can then split the stereo file into mono in your audio editing program of choice. If using the EXH-6 with the Zoom F4 (as another example), you can choose to record mono files with the EXH-6. You do not need phantom power to operate the SM58.

1) If you need even just 1 XLR input when using the F1, you would also need the EXH-6 adapter. By default the F1 only has a 3.5mm mic input. 2) So long as your DSLR has a working 3.5mm mic input... It is possible to connect the F1 directly to your camera by connecting a 3.5mm TRS cable from the headphone output of the F1, to the mic input of the camera. There is a Zoom video on YT that demonstrates this process. Please note, however, that according to the folks at Zoom... It is possible for plug-in power from a camera mic input jack to damage the F1. I personally have only ever recorded directly to the F1, and then I sync the audio to video in post.

@@ninesixindie Hello! Where did you get that info? "Please note, however, that according to the folks at Zoom... It is possible for plug-in power from a camera mic input jack to damage the F1." Didn't find anything on their website.

@@christopht.4403 Hello, thank you for asking. I got this info from UA-cam. Comment section of a Zoom video titled "Zoom F1-SP: Connecting To Your Camera / Setting Levels". In response to a question from user PROTOMAN247, Zoom rep John Molfetas replied... "It is possible that you could damage the F1 by inputting plug-in power to the headphone output". Another note from my experience is that some cameras enable you to turn off plug-in power, at which point I would personally feel safer using the F1 in this manner. I hope this info helps.

@@ninesixindie Thank you that was very helpful. ZOOM should be more in the open with this info.

@@christopht.4403 You're welcome! Yeah, I figured it's worth pointing out. I know it's something I'd want to be aware of.

The short answer is yes. Just know that by default, the Zoom F1 will record a stereo file with mic 1 on channel 1 (left), and mic 2 on channel 2 (right). You can then (in post) split the stereo file into 2 separate mono files using your audio editing software of choice... Which is what I did for this episode.

@@ninesixindie Does it do it cleanly or is there some cross over between the two sources?

@@seanwebb605 It comes out clean. No crossover on account of the Zoom F1/EXH-6. The only crossover/bleed that you will encounter is normal mic bleed that happens anytime 2 mics are recording in close proximity to each other.

Not a problem! I hope it helps.

Indeed, once upon a time. I do know the price dropped to $99 where I bought from. $89 is even better!

Thank you. Same to you!

Thank you. ✊🏻
