I've been waiting for this! So glad I held out, can't wait to get one
ID22 MKII is the product that i am waiting for
Me too can’t wait!!
Perfect..bravo. Only through away the plugins and give access to a couple of Acoustica Audio plugins for better mixing and you are unbeatable!!!!!
Uffff Genial!! Espero pronto la serie id de 8 canales 💪🏻
Very nice release :) !
I'm very happy with my iD14 MKI but I've been waiting for the iD44 MKII for quite some times: it was my dream 😝
I was wondering what is the difference between id44 & id44 mkii
Will there be a new id22 MkII?
Everything in B Brown converter
Might upgrade from id14mk2. It's been a blessing so far
Beautiful. Still waiting for a pro 8 channel, two adat inputs interface. Pleaaaseee
totally with you
Nothing i have dealt with but my limited understanding was the optical were ADAT?
Is it not the same thing?
The optical inputs support both ADAT and S/PDIF data and you can set which format you wish to use in the iD mixer application.
@@Audientworld I just ordered the ID44 Mk2 because technically 4 channels is all I need at home (and with the sale the ID44Mk2 becomes cheaper than Evo 16)...but you know what we want...
8 channel interface like the Evo16...except with the ID Mk2 series format! I do not care about size (as long as its rack mountable...4 full units is fine) - and I fully expect a heft price...but basically we want something from Audient to compete with the 8 channel Clarett/Apollo price range! Oh...and if you can get the HP filter to be user adjustable (not just 100hz) within the mixer control app...that would be absolutely epic!
I was expecting also characteristics from the Evo interfaces. Looks nice, probably delivers a better audio quality than my old id22 but it’s not the upgrade I was waiting for
i wish we could get an id88 😩
Hey! I'm a big fan of the Audient AIs. Any plans to upgrade Sono with stereo or mono-to-stereo cabsim and ground lift?
Looks great! But when will the ID22 MkII come?
I hope you add 32bit on the next version.
Love the balanced inserts, looking to experiment with analog chains and those look amazingly practical for a mono signal.
But I'm not sure how I'd connect this to a stereo mix bus compressor as it only has 4 line outs and 2 need to be the speakers? Would I need extra outputs through the optical expansion?
If you were feeding audio from your DAW to hardware effects units then you would typically use line outputs 3+4. If these are already in use for a second set of monitors then you can use an external DAC that connects to the iD44 via the Optical connection.
i am waiting for an ID22 Mk2. However somehow i have the feeling that it is exactly the niche product that wont get a direct successor but rather be replaced by a different model.
Btw , why not just mention which chip you are using for the A/D in the id44 mk2 ?
those are the chunkiest lightpipe cables I've ever seen. I have an id44 already... I was hoping there would be something really neat about the mkii, but now I'm relieved there's no temptation to upgrade.
Is it compatible with Apple Monterey and M1?
At 3:02 the poor word clock output feels neglected. If I were using an optical input from a remote mic preamp with AtoD I would certainly be using the word clock output to the w/c input of the remote mic pre converters.
I literally got an ID14 yesterday.
Thanks for the explanation, but I was wondering what is the difference between
id44 & id44 mkii
Loopback and some spec improvements
¡Oleeeeeeeeeeeee! 😀
The KH310s set up on the wrong sides are giving me anxiety.
Can you mute the headphone outs when switching to monitors? On the ID14, the scroll knob can be clicked to mute, but this knob looks different
You can just press the CUT button on the unit to mute the speakers but keep the headphones active.
Does the loopback function offer the ability to send a stereo DAW output and a mono mic input to OBS for recording on separate channels on PC, whilst using the Audient ASIO drivers and not generic Windows audio drivers? I'm currently doing this with an RME UFX, an expensive interface I don't really need. Would be good to replace it with a simpler Audient interface.
Yes, the Loopback function will work when using the ASIO drivers proving the recording software you use supports ASIO.
question: what about the headphone amp did you guys made it better n louder?
The headphone amp is the same design as the MKI, it already sounded and was plenty loud for more recording contexts but you do now have an additional 3.5mm jack for even more monitoring flexability.
Can you plug an analog synth into the D.I. inputs ? Or are these inputs dedicated to instruments like guitar and bass ?
You can plug a Synth into the DI inputs but depending on the synth being used you may have problem with the signal level being too high. On more modern synths that typically output at line level, using the line input on the rear will typically give better results.
Hello! I have a question regarding the return input of the id44 (I am curious about the older version and the mk2 version as well).
Will the mic input be completely disabled when something is plugged into the return socket (for example if I want to record something directly onto the converter).
Would i have to unplug the return before I can record with the normal inputs 1 & 2?
Thanks in advance :)
Yes, if a Jack is plugged into the Insert return then this will remove the Mic input from the signal chain. You'd need to remove this jack if recording from the Mics.
@@Audientworld thank you for clearing that up!
How does the Cues on the interface integrate with Cues in Cubase control room?
There isn't any integration with the CUEs in Cubase I'm afraid. I believe that Steinberg only allow that level of integration with their own line of interfaces.
❤️
The only thing I don't like about the original is the master scroll wheel in iD mode is too coarse. The indents are massive jumps and not nearly fine enough. From the video it looks like this is no different this time around. Hard to tell from the clip though. Is this different in any way on the new version?
Because Scroll Control acts as a mouse scroll wheel, different applications will have different implementations on how course/fine the control is. You can adjust this somewhat by adjusting the scroll wheel sensitivity in your Mouse settings but this will also change the behaviour of your Mouse I'm afraid.
When clocking with an external unit such as a blacklion exp or a pulse 16, what should be the clocking source? And, which of this two units would you recommend for adat expansion? Thanks. The id44mkii is a good piece of gear by the way.
The iD44 MKII doesn't have a BNC input so if you wanted to clock it from an external word clock, you'd need to use the external clock to clock your ADAT expansion device and then clock the iD44 to this ADAT device over the optical cable.
Aside from the extra headphone jack, I don't see any difference from the mk1. Can you please enlighten us?
The ADC performance has been increased slightly and the iD44 MKII now has loop-back support through its software mixer. They are all small changes but all add up to make what was already a powerful desktop interface, even better!
I have a question, when I move the volume knob of the headphones, nothing is indicated with the LEDs that surround the knob. Is this normal or does nothing light up there?
The Meter LEDs will only show the level of the Main volume control when you adjust it. The headphone knob does not show the level on the Meter LEDs.
My focusrite 2i4 is starting to die out, trying to decide between this and the evo16. How do they compare to each other?
The iD44 does have ever so slightly better specs in terms of its ADCs and DACs and is a bit more portable, but the EVO 16 gives you more inputs and outputs as well as Smart Gain and remote control of the pre-amps which can be super useful. Both will give you great-sounding recordings, it just depends on what fits your workflow better really. Drop us a message at support@audient.com if you do have any questions.

Please make a tutorial video how to recording 20 input channel simultaneously in ID44 MKII. It's hard to find the finest answer in youtube or even internet.
I have audient ID4 MKII & ID14 MKII and want to upgrade to this one if I found how to record 20 channel in proper way. Thank you very much🙏🏼
To record up to 20 channels, you'd simply need to connect two ADAT devices, such as the ASP880, to the optical ports on the rear of the unit. To ensure everything stays synced up, you'd need to use a BNC word clock cable coming out of the iD44, and then into the two ADAT devices. If you download the iD44 manual from our website, you can see wiring digrams on how to do this.
Finally, you'd just set up a DAW with 20 tracks and capture input channels 1-20. I hope this helps!
@@Audientworld Thank you so much!
What software and plugins come with it? Can't seem to find that info..
Hi Panda, All the information can be found on our website at: audient.com/arc/
This is probably a dumb question, but can I direct monitor my vocals or guitars with this while also hearing the recorded tracks from my daw?
Yes, you can use the iD44 Mixer to listen to both your DAW tracks and the direct audio from your Mics/Instruments.
@@Audientworld Awesome! Gonna put in the order with sweetwater.
Is this interface compatible with an iPad pro 2021?? Thank you!
The iD44 MKII isn't officially supported on iOS, however, you may be able to get basic stereo input and output if the ID44 is connected to an iOS device via USB-C.
Audient MKII id44 does it have the smart gain feature?
The iD44 MKII doesn't have the Smart Gain feature I'm afraid. The Console Pre-amps we use are fully analogue so we can't digitally control them.
What’s different vs mk1?
I dont even know tbh
I think it's a small difference in the DAC and the new loopback function.
Hi, does it have DSP? Can it handle multiple plugin in live tracking situation? Thanks
The iD44 MKII cannot run DSP plug-ins. You would need to run the plug-ins in your DAW and use input monitoring to track through them if required.
Does this audio interface work with Linux? Also how do I make it so that I hear my microphone all the time not just in the digital audio workstation? Do I plug the headphones next to the microphone input? Then I hear the microphone but I don't hear any other audio in the headphones. Do I have to push any buttons to change that? i'm trying to achieve true zero latency monitoring.
We do not officially support Linux. For zero-latency monitoring, you would need to open the iD mixer software and pull up the fader of the Mic channel you are using. This will then send the audio to your Main mix outputs for direct monitoring of your inputs at practically zero latency.
yoh, this comes out 2 months after i bought a mk1. oof
Available in 2022 !?? ;). Price? Does Audient create their own USB drivers?
iD44 MKII is currently shipping worldwide so will be available in stores very soon! Retail price is: £499.99 inc VAT, €599 inc Local VAT and $699 MAP.
@@Audientworld Thanks for the update
Is the dac the same as the mk l?
The DAC is the same as in the MKI. It already sounded great so there wasn't much we can improve on!
@@Audientworld Bring the ID22 MK2 already! Hurry up! make sure the headphone jacks are in the front and put a USB mIdi for once instead of Midi I/o if it takes too much space...like the Apogee Quartet
Thanks audient you heard us but i wish you had add more preamps even 6 preamps or add two more inserts and return.
I need something that doesn't need computer and can plug into phone so i can record live and get studio stand and also record on SD card is this the machine for me ?
The iD44 doesn't support iOS or SD cards I'm afraid so this wouldnt be the right product for your workflow.
@@Audientworld do you know anything that fits this description?
I cant think of anything off the top of my head I'm afraid, you'd most like want to be looking for a location recorder moreso than an interface.
Super mega Effff me.. crap. Min 3.23 means I don't need a converter box to use my pedal board to effect my DAW signal? I just bought it alongside a Radial EXTC specifically for that. I didn't catch that id44 feature before. Damn it
If you are using pedals that are designed for low-level instrument signals then you would still need a re-amp box or similar to drop the signal level down from line level to instrument level and to also unbalance the signal.
@@Audientworldok. Thanks. So I potentially didn't waste 400 bucks on the EXTC. Costs about the same as the id44.. unbelievable. :-) cheers
Is Audient iD4 MKii's main volume control passive or active?
The Main Volume control is done digitally and acts like a passive attenuator.
@@Audientworld Is it true passive volume attenuator? Please reply. I'm looking forward to purchase an iD4 MKii...
No, the volume control is done digitally before the DACs and the signal passes through active buffer stages before the line and headphone outputs so it's not passive. Apologies for any confusion
Where is Midi In\Out ?(
Hi there,
Unfortunately, there is no Midi In/Out on the ID44.
Sorry about this.
Esta interface es compatible con una Mac Mini?
Sí, es compatible con el Mac Mini.
Are the io dc coupled?
The 4 Line outputs on the iD44 are DC coupled but none of the inputs are DC coupled.
Vale para conectarla a un laptop con win 11?
Sí, funcionará bien en Windows 11!
@@Audientworld gracia ...un saludo
does it work with windows 7?
iD44 MKII requires Windows 8.1 or later as Windows 7 is no longer supported.
Hello Line out are Jack ?
The line outputs are balanced TRS jacks.
Who’s buying my id22?
Traducir al español!!!!
Very good interface! But... it is extremely ugly in my opinion, with Evo you have done very well at the design level but this is a piece of iron with good Preamps, we want high resolution screens with the info, we want DSP, we want the sound warm classic but in a body of 2022 not 1969.
