I have both the EVO 8 and 16. They are great interfaces. I do have some questions / observations: - is there an iPad mixer for the interfaces? I use the EVO 8 to practice ( my Fractal FM9 is always connected to the EVO 8), and would like to use my iPad too, instead of having to use my MBP always, in order to have access to the EVO mixer. - it would be nice if there is an EQ, compressor and reverb per channel in the EVO mixer (or a channel strip), so I can use the interface live with its own mixer without the need for a DAW. - the audio from my MBP goes through the MAC 1+2 channel of the EVO mixer. For some reason, the input signal is always clipping. Due to the fact that this is a line input channel, it doesn’t have an input gain. I have to manually adjust the output signal of UA-cam, moises, etc to avoid clipping. Is there a way to adjust this within the EVO mixer?
There isn't an iPad app for controlling the EVO 8 or EVO 16 I'm afraid. I'm afraid the EVO interfaces do not have enough DSP power on board to run real-time effects in the mixer. They could be ran on the host PC, but this would add considerable latency and at that point you may as well just use the DAW and run the effects in there instead. The DAW channels shouldn't be clipping unless the youtube video or audio playback is also clipping. Can you send a message to support@evo.audio so we can check this?
Adam, I want to echo the request for an iPad mixer app as I’m looking at buying the Evo 16 and the lack of an app is holding me back. While I have access to a M1 MacBook, my M4 iPad Pro is my primary music production device.
Hi EVO team, amazing product and i very like it. But, could you make an update that when you work in 5.1 and beyond for the EVO 16? the main volume knob act like a master fader for all output Channel? And with calibration (volume, delay) it will be awsome! Thx
Please, when set the output channels to mono, why there isn't the option to control the level of the signal to those individual paths? They just go "thru". That is a major drawback in the design of both software and hardware. I love the sound of my Evo 16, but that design flaw makes me hate it at the same time. Is it really that complicated to assign a level control to a mono output? 😢
@@weareevoaudio I already did that back then when I bought it. They just said they would pass the recommendation to the engineering team, but no guarantees. And they told me you had a new line of products 8 times more expensive that had that simple function 🤷🏻♂️
@@weareevoaudio, also like digital mixer features where you can control it on an iPad or phone. That would be a huge benefit! I'm looking forward to it, Morepower!!! 🔥🔥🔥 keep it up! Love from Philippines!
In your actual daw what actually appear for the EVO 8 input and eapecially what outputs? I assume you can send things out to things like the headphone outputs from inside the daw itself so i can switch between monitor outs and Headphone outs or both at the same time. . Im not sure how the app you have interacts with the daw you use in the evo 8 Cheers.
Hi I've got an Evo16 on the way - I want to ideally input all of my hardware in and then send that signal out (and DAW signal, midi synths etc) out through my pedals and then back in - could you let me know how to configure this? thanks!
You would want to plug your effect pedals into the line outputs of EVO 16 and bring it back in via the Line inputs of EVO 16. Then in the system panel of the EVO mixer software, set the outputs you are using for your Pedals to DAW THRU. Now you can easily send audio to your effects by sending audio to that output channel. You can then bring in the processed signal on Line inputs 1-8. Please send a message to support@evo.audio of you need more help.
Hey, I have been using the EVO4 for mixing for about two years now. Recently, I discovered that the headphone output quality is affected by the volume setting. It's not because of loudness bias; it's the result of a level-matching test, of course. When the volume is set to 100, with the monitor mix parameter low, the audio quality is obviously better than when the volume is set low with the mix at 100. I'm not sure if this is a Windows platform problem or something else, but the EVO4's volume knob is linked with the Windows volume setting. I can only keep the volume at 100 and adjust the mix to get the right loudness for monitoring. It's pretty inconvenient, actually. Any solutions to this problem?
The main reason this would occur is that the volume control on EVO 4 is digital and works by effectively lowering the bit depth of the signal. The downside of this is that at lower output levels you do get a small drop in audio quality but using digital controls means that you get consistent levels in the left and right channels across the entire volume range which isn't easily possible using an analog volume control.
Hola tu video es muy necesario para aprender a configursr el mixer felicitaciones. Estoy por decidirme en evo 16 y no una consola de mezcla digital para concoertos en vivo. Espero evo pueda servir para esto. Por lo que veo no se puede conectar la misma "sesion" de artista mix desde la pc a otro dispositivo de escenario como android u otra pc con win?
Hola, puedes almacenar la configuración de tu mezclador en EVO 16 yendo a Configuración > Guardar estado independiente. La unidad se iniciará en ese estado la próxima vez que se inicie. Ten en cuenta que EVO 16 no es compatible con dispositivos Android.
I have a simple question: Can I use EVO-4 to connect 2 microphones while running a UA-cam Karaoke and get the combined sound on a external speaker(powered).
Yes, this is possible. You would just use the monitor mix to control the blend between the microphone audio and the youtube playback. If you need any help with this setup, send a mail to support@audient.com
Is it possible to have all analog outputs set to DAW Thru and have my DAW's main output go to the two headphone outs on my Evo 16? Not using monitor speakers, only headphones, in my setup. Would like to use all analog outputs to send to hardware effects.
Yes, this is possible, when the analog outputs are in DAW THRU, the signal will still appear in the DAW 1-8 channels of the EVO mixer; allowing you to send the audio to the Main mix and therefore onto the headphones
Why can't I use the auto gain as a software feature in the mixer for the evo 8 and evo 16, but can do it on the evo 4 when it's the entry level device shouldn't the top end hardware have more features available to use then the entry level?
Hello. I have connected my stereo cables from piano to evo 8. Everything works great, can record in garageband. But when I press the piano i cant hear the piano in my earphones. The sound comes out from the speakers of my piano. I need help. Im on mac m1 2020. I have connected my earphones in the front of the evo8. So i can playback what I recorded in garageband in earphones. But no sound in my earphones when I press the piano. Thank you
I have a 4 and a 16, both good products. On the EVO16 I have 1 request and a question. Request - when you go to save a preset, please display all existing presets and/or default to displaying the current preset you are editing. Otherwise you are blindly overwriting or creating new. Question - How do you record an input directly to a given output not using a DAW? Eg: record from input 3 and have it go directly out analogue 7 like a patchbay. Daw Through does not accomplish this.. Thanks
Hello, to route audio from an input to an output, I'd recommend using one of the CUE mixes. Simply assign a CUE mix to the output in the system panel. Then click on that CUE mix and pull up the fader for the input you wish to send to that output.
Hey Adam, Question - I'm hooking up a Universal Audio Ox Box via optical cable to my EVO 16. Do you know if I have to set up anything in particular in the EVO software mixer? Thanks
The optical output on the OX is S/PDIF so ensure that the optical format for the input is set to S/PDIF rather than ADAT in the system panel of the EVO mixer software. Otherwise, you should have no other issues.
@@weareevoaudio thanks for the reply! Got it working, but hear digital artifacts. Do you set the clock to internal or external in the evo mixer software? Thanks
You'd need to set the clock source to Digi 1 or Digi 2 (Depending on which input you are using) on the EVO software so it can sync to the incoming ADAT signal. You'd need to ensure that the clock indicator next to your clock selection is green.
Hello Evo team. - Is it possible to use use two Focusrite Octopre Dynamic´s as slave and an Evo 16 16 as the master clock? Looking to expand my studio in the future from 16ch to 24 ch. - Is the world clock BNC needed for this or does it work with just ADAT? - Does the DAW through outputs with this? Thanks :-)
Hello, yes this should definitely be possible! In thsi setup, I'd recommend using a BNC word clock connection to the two Focusrite units as thsi will give you the most stable setup, but would also work by syncing the Focusrite units to the ADAT stream as well. Yes, you can send audio from the DAW out to the Optical ports using the DAW THRU functionality
