Our good friends over at Audient have a brand new product! It is called the Evo 8! It is a 4 input/4output USB interface that costs about $200 and it has the auto-gain function! This is the first one in the country, and they sent it to us! I’m very excited about this product!
Our friend Andy Allen at Audient, really went out of the way on the Evo 8! He’s been telling me about this product for a a long time! We’ve already done a video where we review the Audient Evo 4 ( • Writing and Recording ... ) where we got some amazing results. Their products are selling like hot cakes, because they’re amazing. They’ve got the auto-gain function, which we’re going to use.
We’re going to record a full band, including a drum kit, electric guitars, acoustic guitar, and vocals! We’re going to prove that it really comes down to your skills as an engineer (or mixing engineer), because the auto-gain function will do so much work for you!
Our friends over at Audient have been gracious enough to give us 3 of the Evo 8 units to give away! You can enter to win above!
You can also download the multitracks from this session so you can follow along with me as I mix this track!

Produce Like A Pro is a website which features great tips to help the beginning recordist make incredible sounding home recordings on a budget.
What would you record with the EVO 8?
Hi Warren. The 8 would be overkill as there is only me, a mic, midi keyboard and bass. I followed yours and Adam's advice on the EVO 4 and I am delighted.
Yeah, in fact. I'm considering replacing my current QU16 with something a little more interfacy (in light of there just being no gigs anymore) and i rarely use ALL 16 inputs, but then i'm sure i'll need it again in the future, so i'm stuck in two minds... however, this seems like it could be a very viable option, so discreet and sounds great even through the medium of youtube... giveaway entered, fingers crossed.... keep rockin Warren! Grateful as ever for your efforts.
I would record guitars, bass, e-drums, vocals (preferably not my own though lol!!)
My next demos for my new project with my friend - guitar player and vocalist. I'm a bass player and producer of our project. :)
I would record Vox, Guitar, Bass, Drums
I just got the Audient ID4 interface as a birthday present. I cant get over how good it sounds
That's amazing to hear Mark!!
Wow! My ears tell me it's a good interface but with the talent in this video you could probably record hits on an easy bake oven! Excellent!
You're far too kind!
That's a great cover! The only problem is that now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all day. Thanks a lot, Warren! 😂
Haha thanks! Yes, such an amazing song!
Damn. McKail was so great singing this. Use her for demos more often. That’s such a great unit and seemed super easy to use. I just bought a 2i2 (6 months or so ago) but I’m thinking I should have waited. Great song choice, and I like adding the fuzziness to Peter Gabriel songs. Great song great sound.
Thanks, Eric! :)
Hi Eric, yes. McKail is a wonderful singer!
McKail Seely I’m so sorry I got your name wrong. Gonna check your band out though. You really killed it. Sorry again.
loved this version of Solisbury Hill! Nice to see Warren playing guitar.
Thanks Paul! Glad you enjoyed it! I love playing guitar!
Big props to Warren on that killer right-hand rhythm technique...super steady, that hurts my brain and right hand just watching it!
Wow! Thanks ever so much!
This sounds likes The Rolling Stones did a cover with Alanis Morrisette . Bravo
Wow! Thanks Gilbert!
Hell, yeah!!! Solsbury hill!!! Loved this version!!
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Evo 8 looks great indeed, "for the buck"! That song has one of the most beautiful harmonic progression ever written!
Hi Bruno! Couldn't agree more! I love this song!
@@Producelikeapro also greatly performed by all intervenients :) beautiful vocals
@@brunoteixeira5912 thanks ever so much!
Great sounding interface and so easy to dial in.
Wow, I love this version of Solsbury Hill. I'm blown away by her voice and vocal performance. Awesome. Thank you for the video and the multi tracks, Warren.
Awe, thanks Marc!
Thanks ever so much Marc! Yes, McKail rules!!
@@McKailSeely1 you Rock!
The guitar slightly reminds me of Chicago "If You Leave Me Now" lol. This recording is lovely!!!!
Wow! Thanks ever so much!!
@@Producelikeapro I downloaded the session to play with. I used mostly SSL (Waves) on most of the mix using the DI parts/Drums/Vocal only. I did some parallel compression lol and distortion as well on drums. Fun session to step my mixing up thanks for the freebie!!!
IEngineer247 Same key - B major.
I would record- in a little diary just how lucky I was to have such a wonderful little unit as the Audient Evo 8
Marvellous!
My favourite song 🥰 Sounds great through the Evo 8. Real proof that we can make amazing music with any gear as long as the performers are as good as this!! Bravo 👏👏
Thanks Ciaran! Couldn't agree more!
Glad n enjoyed the audient Evo 8. eagerly waiting to buy. She 's got an amazing voice.
Thanks ever so much
Came for the review, stayed for the music. Review was great, though. Total win
Great cover. It’s strange... I hadn’t heard this song for years then last week it was on David Bennet Piano’s Channel and now Produce Like A Pro, twice in a week!
Thanks ever so much! Yes, the song was originally written on piano! Love Peter Gabriel does it on keys!
Yes, yes it is. No doubt. I got the Evo 4. I love the features and digital integration so much that even if you offer me the iD14 i'd probably choose the Evo 4 😳 Loopback is GOLD
If you had an SM7B, I'd still go for the iD14, however, I have the Evo 4, too, and it really does sound amazing.
@@FatNorthernBigot yeah PROBABLY you're right, that the mic pres don't have too much power. it isn't less though, you can increase the volume in post
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
@@FatNorthernBigot with the SM7b I usually find I'm boosting it with most Mic Pres.
@@Producelikeapro Still worth it! I remember the first time I bought a condenser mic (not a cheap Chinese knock-off, either) and wondering why it didn't sound as good as my SM7B... Of course, being wet-behind-the-ears, I didn't realise how much room condensers pick up. 😮They're no friend of the project studio.
Hi Warren, a great cover of an amazing song, wonderful, all the best.
Thanks ever so much Darren!
One of my all time favourite songs from one of my all time favourite albums and artists. Amazing! Thank you so much for doing this and providing the multitracks!! Oh, and the interface sounds great... but the song!!! 🎛🤘🤩🤩🤩
Thanks! Yes, absolutely love Peter Gabriel and I love this song!
Checked it out, very neat, lots of inputs, very affordable. Great review. I really like this digital future man.
Brilliant results, great device and great musicians.......best of all great content.......thank you
Thanks ever so much!
i love my evo4! i'm pretty sure i first heard about it from you, too! it's genuinely one of the most intuitive small interfaces i've used
Is it still working well?
Great review and cover. Haven't heard this great Peter Gabriel song in so many years!
Thanks ever so much! Yes, it's one of my favourite ever songs!
When it comes to recording, your channel is the lighthouse for small studio production. Thank you so much. Regards from Indonesia
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
Sounds great !! love her voice
Wow. Vocals! A++
Thanks ever so much!
"We got Blair Sinta sitting in there" spoken so casual, as if it is the norm to have worldclass drummers living in your recording room just waiting to perform...
Haha Jens! Yes, he's absolutely amazing!
Having drummers in your living room isn't hard. Getting them to leave is the hard part. (jk)
Keys and bass you say? Heehee. Fantastic song and fantastic cover and the Evo 8 looks really nice too.
Haha yes! Anita! Get to it!! The job is yours!
@@Producelikeapro Mwahahahahaha! Getting it now heehee.
Sounding awesome Warren! Good luck in the giveaway everybody!
Thanks ever so much! You guys Rock!!
Another over-the-top fantastic experience with Warren and friends. Thsnk you and Bravo kind sir! 🎶😀🎶
Thanks ever so much my friend
Lovely piece of gear. And you guys were great too....!
Great review - got so excited I bought one! Finally achieving a dream of recording my squeeze box in 4 channels - top, bottom, bass and room. Awesome sound - thanks for showing, Warren!
Congrats! Well done!
Thank you! Cheers!
I like the Auto gain feature! I just replaced my 2i2 with the Audient ID44, and can't be happier. To have 4 Audient inputs at under $200 is amazing.
Amazing song playing, arranging, singing, recording , thanks for sharing❤
Now that was a lovely version, Warren. I hope you fed the guitar army well after the session! :-)
Haha yes, I enjoyed a good burrito!
Nice!!! That cover turned out marvelously well!!!
Thanks ever so much!!
SOUNDS GREAT !
Hey Warren, absolutely loving this mix of Peter Gabriels Solsbury hill, being from the UK, I know the place, just NE of Bath, and have always liked his version, but your re-work, with the female vocals, I just have to say WOW. Thanks for taking time out to give people like me a chance to learn new things and improve, without it costing us ££££££
Thanks ever so much! Yes, that was exactly the idea! Show off an inexpensive unit and prove that it’s not the gear it’s the music being recorded!
@@Producelikeapro Just gotta say it again WOW, McKail's vocals are amazing, but with your guitar and your mix for the drums it's a little piece of heaven, sat here listening to it over and over (loudly of course). Thanks again
@@D.E.B.T-Music aw shucks! You’re very kind indeed!
@@D.E.B.T-Music and yes, McKail is amazing!
@@D.E.B.T-Music Thanks very much, Gary!
Yes! I've been waiting for this to come out, can't wait to get one!
Easily one of my favorite videos, priceless demo and info, thank you for bringing us into your process and studio.
Thanks ever so much Rob!!
Thanks! I purchased one today! Appreciate the video!
Marvellous! That's great to hear Dennis!!
That cover was amazing.
Thanks ever so much!
I've had my Focusrite Scarlet Solo 2nd Gen for around 3 years now and it has worked great for me so far! Is it finally time to jumpship? 4 inputs for $200? That sounds really good of a deal!
edit: grammar
It's an incredible deal indeed! Really impressed!
Loved the music...the vocals.... guitar...drums... awesome
Thanks ever so much
@@Producelikeapro love from India 💕
I have an evo 4 too, great little unit. Like others, your review prompted me to buy it. Thanks for that 🙏
What a great playin and the singer she is Amazing!!!!!!!What a great cover!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!
Thanks ever so much!
Sounds wonderful!......low budget interfaces have entered a new level of quality. More than just acceptable Pro-sumer quality, real LEGIT quality! ;:-)
BLAIR!, great guy, solid player!
I'm curious about the auto level function. Roughly what level does it give you after analyzing each signal. -5, -10 ??. I've always been dubious about auto level features, but that thing seems pretty sophisticated. It works so fast and with no fuss.
I was most impressed with the kick and acoust gtr raw sound....really rich and full. $200 is a great QPR ;:-)
Hi John, it works great! Agreed, the acoustic sounded amazing through these pres!!
Cool! I've been using the focusrite scarlet solo. Really like that one too 🙂
got this a couple months ago, pretty solid so far
Is the evo still working well? I have seen reviews where customers say it broke within 3 weeks of use
@@swapnilpradhan5417 had mine for a year or so. Works well still 💯
@@chrisdhouse thanks man for the reply
Great video Warren. Just ordered my EVO 8 today. Super excited. Can't wait. :)
Awesome cover.👌
Great recording, amazing what these guys can put into such a small box. I can use one...... very nice video as usual from you. Thank you.
Hi John!! Thanks for watching!
Whoa!!! I love your cover!! I saw Petey live a few years ago. Love that Evo too. I wish they made one with 32 inputs, lol. Btw, was that a Mojave mic?
Yes, Peter Gabriel is truly one of a kind amazing artist!!
Yes, McKail is incredible!
Evo 8 is just love man ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Starting working on the tracks. What a nice song to listen on the Thanksgiveing Day afternoon.
You covered exactly what I was looking for! Wanted to get something with 4 channels that I cud record drums with and not break the bank. Thought I was going to be restricted to the behringer umc 404. Thanks for this!
The song was wonderful.
Thanks Loren! You Rock!
Can't wait to wrap my lugs around this one!
Fantastic Steve!
Errrrr I’m sold. Been looking to upgrade my Scarlett 2i2 to a 4in4out!! This is perfect! Thanks 🤘🏾
I was just chatting with Audient about this unit this morning, I believe the auto gain function is a huge game changer for many people. Interfaces that have accurate mic pres don't need to be used hard, so this technology makes perfect sense!
Produce Like A Pro with the addition of two dual headphone outs as well it’s ideal. Sounds great and at £156 it’s a no brainier 👌🏾
Great song, great singer and great interface!
My, the years just go by! I've had an EVO 8 for a year now. I use to record home audio, mainly my (and friends' vocals) with backing tracks. It is a great USB interface but just one thing: the MICROPHONE VOLUME is pretty piss poor using dynamic mics but quite satisfactory with CONDENSER microphones. It is so good that it has 48V phantom power. My laptop has USB-C so I could possible power 4 condenser microphones but it is extremely I'll ever do so. What fascinates me, is that when I turn REVERB on in the DAW, which I use Cakewalk, the volume and richness of the voice goes up double! Wow, what a difference!
That is really a nice device!!!! Love her vocals!
Thank so much, Martin!
Hi Martin! Thanks for listening! Yes, McKail Rocks!
Marvellous McKail!
Very happy user of the Audient ID14.
Wonderful Gordon!
Got my evo 8 a month and a half ago, and I love it! It unfortunately died randomly yesterday, but I'm hoping I can get a replacement quickly.
Do they send replacement for free?
I want to purchase the evo 4 but people are saying it stops working within a year
I have an EMU 1616m and it never ceases to amaze me how powerful this audio interface is. It is from the year 2006, a little old but believe me that all the companies copied something from it. It has three pairs of inputs and outputs, 3 outputs plus mini jack and even input for turntable, adat, spdif, midi, a mixer (software) with enormous routing possibilities, dsp effects, built-in soft limit function. The converter is that of the Avid Digidesign 192 hhd, it has 120Db of dynamic tango and a THD of -110 at the input and -105 at the output. It also records up to 192kz and 24 bit. Hopefully someone does a review comparing it with newer interfaces to see its performance. Too bad they weren't made anymore.
Great video. Great choice of song! Very interested to know how Evo 8 compares to ID14. Love my ID14. Curios to listen to multitracks to check how your LL6 sounds compared to mine. Thanks for super content Warren.
Nice track
Great cover.
Unbelievable what can be squeezed into such a small box nowadays. Pretty cool how one can get into recording so easily too.
Dude wow, great choice of song thank you 🙏
Thanks ever so much Fj!
I currently own an SSL 2. how would you compare this to the SSL? putting aside the number of inputs and guitar input (i have a D.I. for that)
Waiting for mine to get here, can't go wrong with an interface made by a company that also makes sought after consoles. The fact that the mic pres are the exact same ones in their consoles is worth it. Then, they use AKM converters (AD/DA), also high-end.
Marvellous! Thanks ever so much for sharing!!
@@Producelikeapro Received it, and it sounds great, specially from what I'm upgrading from. Now just waiting on better cables to get the most out of this thing. 😅 Thanks for the in depth demo.
It's a little late to respond to this, but I'll do it anyway. 😬
The Mic Pres are not the exact same as in the audient consoles but new builds that are modeled to sound as close as possible to the console amps. The audient iD range uses the same Preamps as their larger consoles.
That being said: they are so close I can't hear a difference between the preamps most of the time (and when I do, it's very minor).
Hi Warren! I really like your channel! Thank you so much for these videos! The Evo 8 sounds great, but I am torn between several thoughts: is it worth going for a 4-preamped-input device with lower quality (like Evo 8) to allow recording an acoustic-guitar in stereo PLUS using the DI at the same time? the UA-video on how to mic an acoustic-guitar proposes this approach. Or is it better to go for a device with two high-quality preamps, super-low latency and great plugins such as the Apollo Solo and only go for stereo mics? Or does mixing a mono-mic-recording with an additional DI-track work as well? Or do you propose recording in stereo and then dub a second take using the DI? I would also record vocals and electric guitar, of course. Thanks! Christoph
The EVO is not any lower quality than any other interface I've used. Also, the pre amps are fantastic! This recording sounded as good as any I've made with units costing many times more!

@@Producelikeapro It does, thanks!
Awesome device and As always great content gonna have some fun with the multi tracks 🙌🏼🙌🏼
. . . is this compatible with windows7, I got rid of win10 after trying it for a year, it felt like I was constibated for a year, reminded me of winVista, garbage OS
Anything with USB!
I could seriously use that autogain function to save a ton of time. With the kids, and my wife working from home, tim is in short supply for me. Yet another thing I'll have to save up for. Adding it to my priorities list.
Lovely cover!
Wonderful voice! ♥️
Thank yoooou :)
I agree! McKail is amazing! Thank you so much!!
You Rock McKail!
THEE SONG THOOOO 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
i like this intro☺️
really nice every thing bravooooooo!!!!!!! nice song nice vocal >r & drums !!!!!!!!!!! very good sound
Nice job! Is that a Yamaha guitar?
Yes! Here is all the gear I used in the video:- Yamaha Revstar: imp.i114863.net/35nXB
Yamaha LL16: imp.i114863.net/e63Zr
Mojave Audio MA-201fet: imp.i114863.net/LvVGa
So this is capable of recording 4 inputs to 4 separate tracks via USB at the same time in my Daw while the 4 tracks come back from the Daw into the box to monitor or output to my speakers a bit like the
Behringer U-PHORIA UMC404HD - USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI Interface?
Hi Shane, yes, you can record 4 inputs and send out 4 outputs in any configuration you want!
I'm currently using a Audient ID22, love the quality but finding the 2 channels limiting. If the mic pres are as good as the ID then its a no brainer unless I want to go buy an ASP800 :-/
Who's playing the part of Tony Leven?
You! Download the multitrack and add the Bass!
I cant download! No activelink
@@LoveGuitar63277 I just downloaded them. Just click on the link below the video and it takes you to page, enter your email and then there is a download link. Plus, I got an email link as well.
@@iwantappledumplings6187 thanks! I just tested as well and it worked me.
@@LoveGuitar63277 can you try again? If it's not working just send us your email and we will send you the link. I did test it and it works fine for me, not sure what issue you might be having? Many thanks, Warren
is this interface a good choice for playing live on stage using ableton live? Ah! we love your channel in Brazil... anytime now talk about your relationship with Brazilian music!
Just bought me a new tube amp about the same price, maybe next month it s a nice interface for sure.
Hi Warren, hope you're doing marvelously well. I was wondering what was your work routine. I am astonished at your productivity on UA-cam. Do you still have time for other projects besides? Anyway, thank you ever so much for your videos, they inspire me a lot!
What mic was the singer using? Thanks man!
Great stuff. Subscribed, and also ordered one of these Evo’s...... you should be on commission 😘
Haha thanks ever so much
Nice playing and singing thanks 😊
CAn I have the reverb/chorus and other effects like with DSP, hence not recorded but heard while recording? I heard about a thing called native low latency recording or so.. an alternative to DSP I guess. I am deciding between EVO 8 and Steinberg UR44 but the Evo is half the price and the Steinberg I would pick mostly for the DSP. So can I get the same with the EVO but just not DSP?
Just bought one of these. Waiting for it to show up.
fabulous. Just what I need to record my piano accordion. Great version Warren! Just quick question on the EVO8 - when you recorded the drums, it showed all 4 channels recording on your system. Is that what one gets from the USB2 connection or did you re-route it through your system?
so awesome!!!
Marvelous Warren 🙏❤️ What’s the auto gain setting at?
I bought the EVO 4 because I wanted a super small but good quality interface for playing my guitar through my MacBook while sitting at the kitchen table. I find the Autogain struggles a bit with high output pickups (Sure SSH+ and EMG 81) but I found a hack! If your guitar has single coils, use the auto gain on that, then you might be good to go with hum buckers, or maybe just knock the input back a notch or two
That sounds great. The Audient stuff is really good. Is it class compliant? Wil it work into my IPad Pro?
