- In this video I'm sharing my personal experience of using the Audient ID14 MK2 audio interface in my home studio. I think it's still relevant and holds its own against the competition.

... well done, no fluff - appreciate that.
Thank you!
Thanks very much for this.
This was very helpful, thanks.
Side, does this interface really have a low noise floor? Do you ever hear noise when recording with it? Thanks.
It’s pretty much what you have in the specs - very very low. All of my expensive mics have more noise.
Is it good for casual music listening? Can i use it in hi-fi system as good as for music creation?
Hi Maar, yes, the line output is very, very good, probably best in class. As for the headphones you need to try, it performs differently depending on the impedance.
Good video, to the point. Did you ever tried sending the ID14's 3/4 outs to an external effects processor and the returns from the effects to one of the Behringer's input?
Not exactly 3/4, but yes, it’s possible. What’s your worry? Delay?
@@pace_of_mind Yes delay, increase latency maybe. I have an ID14 and love it, in fact I have two ID14's: one at home and another at work. I'm about to get the ADA8200 and trying to figure out the possibilities. Thanks for taking the time to answer, appreciated.
@@LucasTsolakian when I was recording my band members, I was sending click via outputs and tracking inputs via adat interface as well as the onboard XLR inputs, can't recall there was an audible delay. Standard interface delay is corrected via DAW settings... ADAT interface is in sync with id14 via clock.
Awesome, thank you for the info@@pace_of_mind
Hello, have you even recorded electric guitars? I feel that they distort a lot and with low gain... I think the interface may be damaged
@cuchoq, yes, I record electric guitars all the time, no issues. Do you have active pickups? I'm using passives only.
Thanks for this. It's really helpful. I'm thinking of picking one up, and wondered if you knew how it compared to the UA Volt 4 interface. They are the same price and I do like that the Volt has a MIDI interface. So curious if you are still using the ID14 MkII as well.
Thanks for watching the video! Both of them are in the same price range and have similar specs. Personally, I value ADAT interface over a MIDI interface that you cab buy separately as a $10 usb dongle :-)
And yes, I'm still using the ID14 mk2.
@@pace_of_mind Thanks so much!! Not on the fence any more. Very best, Greg
@@gkillmaster thank you Greg!
Is it ppssible to plug 2 headphones simultaneous?
Lets say I want to record my buddy who is singing, he uses a headphone and I also want to hear his voice with my own headphone.
Both headphone plug to the audio interface
Hey Selumiel, thanks for the question! I actually never tried it before you asked :-) I just plugged in two different headphones to the two phone jacks and both are working! But the loudness was different because I used two different headphones. So yes, it does work, but you won't be able to adjust the volume independently and you need to either use the same type of headphones, or check the impedance and sensitivity to match the volume.
@@pace_of_mind perfect, need this answer...thank you
Hi, yeah you can use both with no problems .
Have you tried low impedance headphones with it? My DT 900 Pro X (48 Ohms) sounds terrible with this interface (compared to when directly connected to my MBP headphone jack, which sounds fantastic).
Hi Ramtin! I’ve only tried low quality headphones like Apple Earbuds (40 Ohm I guess) and I didn’t notice much difference so I can’t add much. What I do know is that MBP has a circuit that adopts the RMS voltage depending on the load which might improve the sound.
Hi! Can you help me with some doubts? I just got this interface set up but the speaker output is very low (have to max it to have decent volume) i conect the 1/2 to my sub and from my sub to the speakers, both have low/hi pass filters. What could be the problem?
Hi! Hard to tell what's the issue is, I'm sending 1/2 directly to the speakers and another 1/2 from the output 3 to the sub. Maybe you could try to connect the speakers directly just to test? Another idea, the outputs of the interface are balanced (TRS), depending on your speakers you either need TRS-TRS cable, or TS-TS cable.
whats the Dac dynamic range
Sorry, I don't know that
on headphone mixing mastering..gain is good?
Yes! Gain is very good!
@@pace_of_mind god bless u
Hello! Did you tested a SSL interface? Audient has less noise than SSL?
Hi! No, never had one, but most interfaces in this price range have very similar specs. Just choose based on the other features you need (e.g. MIDI vs. ADAT, number of inputs, etc.).
I am getting into voice over soon ..I need to get good interface that I hope last for years .. do you suggest id14 after using it ? Are you satisfied with it's quality? Does it sound professional? I head that there are reliability problems with audient id interfaces after a year or two? And a compatibility problems with windows? So what do you suggest for professional interface until 400$? I really need your advice
Hi Karim! I think id14 or even id4 will be more than enough to record voiceovers, in fact I would suggest investing more money in the microphone and acoustic treatment of your room than in the interface. As far as reliability goes, I've been using the id14 mk1 for a couple of years now and haven't had any problems, so I can definitely recommend it.
Hello! Can i put two microphones into this interface at the same time? And record when playing an instrument?
Hi! Yes, absolutely!
@@pace_of_mind tyy!
Yeah, love mine because of what it offers for such a price, my only issue with it is that it doesnt turn off when I turn my laptop off, I always have to unplug the cable AND EVEN before that, first I have to unplug the headphones so that there's no damage occurance to my beloved HD600s. Then when I want to use it, I connect first the cable to the laptop and then I insert the headphones. Do you also do this or you leave it powered on 24/7?
Hey Robson, thanks for the video! I have my headphones connected to the interface all the time and almost every night I unplug the interface from my laptop to take it with me and watch movies/UA-cam. Sometimes I leave it plugged in and have never had a problem either way.
Hi Robson, that is an issue with your laptop not turning the usb ports on on power off, any usb audio interface would have this issue. However if it is a windows pc this is usually something you can turn off in your BIOS, depending on your computer so you might be able to change the settings. Mac might have a setting too
Hello my friend . I have been using Focusrite 18i8 2nd sound card for 8 years. Do you think that if I buy the Audient Id14 Mkii sound card, the quality will be better? How about the vocal recording quality? thank you
Hey Hesam, thanks for watching the video! I think 18i8 is holding its own despite it's age. I would not change unless you have other reasons like instability or lack of features.
i suggest the great channel of @JulianKrause for a deep dive into tech specs of all kind of interfaces, also the Audient Id14 mkII .
from ssl 2+ vs Id 14 Which one i should buy kindly suggest
They are very similar, my preference is id14, but if you like ssl more, go for it.
@@pace_of_mind thanks for your guidance. I will go with your choice . finally i oder id 14 .thank you very much ..i am going to subscribe your channel.
@@R_jazz_official congratulations with the new interface, feel free to ask questions and thanks for sub!
thanks bro
Hi, I have this same interface but I'm getting zero sound output on my headphones during playback.. what settings get the sounds out? And which is for headphones? 1+2, 3+4 or 5+6? Thanks
You need to set up your headphone mix in the audient mixer software as shown in this and other videos. Did you watch this video?
Just open the System Panel in the ID software. By default headphones is 5+6 and you need to map it to Main Mix.
Am I the only one who thinks that ground loop hum and noise on guitar should be solved for me by the audio interface? I shouldn’t have to run the laptop off its internal battery to prevent hum and noise.
I’m using a macbook and original power supply does not have a ground pin so what can I do in this case? Unfortunately it’s a pretty typical situation for other laptop brands too. I probably should have mentioned this in the video.
I'm pretty sure the interface will do great if host device is properly grounded.
Should I buy ssl 2 or this one for voice over only
Both are great, flip a coin or choose which one you like more ecstatically.
Which microphone you suggest for VO UNDER 300$
Do you have your room acoustically treated? If not, get Shure SM7b.
@@pace_of_mind how can I send you my rooms pictures so you can help if this is well treated or not
@@PODCASTSHALA it's hard to judge by photos, how much echo/reverb do you have in the room?
@@pace_of_mind not much, I have created a small box in which I used many sound absorbing acoustic panels, I have a fan in my room, in night time there is no noise, (only of fans) in day time , my room-it's not acoustically well fully treated(but there is no reverb) , but I've set up some soundproof panels. At night, there's minimal external noise, but during the day, you'll hear dogs barking and children playing occasionally. There's also a fan in the room. I'm considering getting a microphone for voiceovers on my UA-cam channels and podcasts. In the future, I aim to venture into professional voiceovers. Could you advise whether a dynamic or condenser microphone would be better suited for my setup?
I would suggest to use a dynamic one, either Shure 7b or Rode Broadcaster, both are used in pro-grade productions and broadcasting so should suite your need very well
unimpressed with the sound of this unit. In general, all USB powered interfaces are blah.
Which one would you recommend that is close to the $200 price range?
