Love my evo 8, hope you guys add EQ menu on mic input mixer in the future. Cheers!
Thank you for the feedback, I'll pass this onto the development team!
Really good info presented in an easy to comprehend video, glad to see it straight from the manufacturer!
The MOST valuable thing about the EVO 8 mixer software (which is free with the EVO 8, is that once I do the Mic Preamp Auto-Gain, and set everything just right, I CAN SAVE THE SETTINGS AND GIVE IT A NAME, like My Vocals or whatever. Next time I plug everything back in the way I had it (I usually use my Mackie ProFX6V3 mixer and only use the EVO 8 to record), I go to the Settings, and activate the preset, and presto, everything is set like I had it! I just love that feature!
And oh, I love the LOOPBACK feature. Yesterday I recorded vocals using Audio from my Windows 10 computer. I set the Audio out on the computer to Loopback 1-2, but set the Audio out on the EVO 8 mixer to Main Out 1-2. I was able to sing along with the audio backing, karaoke style, with no latency! Super! And another thing I like about the EVO 8, is that it happily accepts CELL PHONE OR TABLET signals (which I set to a stereo mix in inputs 3-4) which I could not do on a MOTU M4 as that thing will NOT accept cell phone signals, only LINE LEVEL signals from a mixer or whatever. The Auto Gain is what takes care of that.
Just purchased it!
Thank you very much for this valuable information. Can you do some demo videos on how to use it with analogue outboard gear 🙏
Thank you for your suggestion!
I have a suggestion for a possible system update.
There should be a possibility of Mixing each Output as a independent channel.
Not only a summing of the channels 1+2, or 3+4. But also having separate mono outputs. As CH1, CH2, CH3 & CH4, and let the DAW have absolute control of the Output routing.
If there’s already this function, please let me know!
You can sort of already do this. You'd just need to turn on the Artist mix. Then in the Main MIx pull up the MAC/PC 1+2 faders and on the Artist Mix pull up the Mac/PC 3+4 faders. Ensure they are panned hard left and hard right. You can then turn up the volume for both sets of outputs.
Now output 1 in the DAW will go to the physical output 1, DAW output 2 to physical output 2, and so on. You can then just use your DAW to route the audio to the 4 different channels as needed.
Thanks this was really helpful. Quick question. If the levels on the Mac 1 &2 outputs are sometimes in the red, is that still okay? I’m assuming that the only time you have to worry about levels clipping is on the inputs. Am I right? Sorry if this is a silly question I’m just learning how to set things up.
It's not a silly question! Going into the red the Mac 1+2 channels isn't the end of the world and won't affect your mixes or recordings since it's only on the monitoring path. However, it will mean you are hearing distortion on your playback so it is good practise to keep the levels below clipping on your outputs so you are getting clear and accurate monitoring.
@@Audientworld Okay good news thanks so much for responding! I wasn't able to hear any distortion on the playback through the Mac either - possibly it was just my ear tho. Really appreciate the help :) You guys are great.
¿Puedo hacer el ruteo de las 4 salidas en un DAW de manera que cada una de las 4 salidas tenga un sonido independiente? ¿O el 1+2 son copia del 3+4?
I am not able to seperate my outputs after enabling artist mix button.
Please help... I am setting the click to channel 3 . but the track and click not getting separate.. all the outputs providing same tracks and click .. @audientworld
Can you please send a message to support@audient.com and our support team will be able to help you with this.
I just got the evo 8. I feel like the headphone monitoring is a bit low. I tested it on beyerdynamics 770 studio 80 ohm and the audio technica ath-m50 as well and get the same results. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any suggestions?
Could you send a screenshot of your mixer settings to supprot@audient.com and we can see what could be causing that?
So the headphone outputs are shared with outputs 1/2 & 3/4 or are they seperate outputs?
The headphone outputs are shared with outputs 1+2 and 3+4. Plugging a headphone set into one of the headphone outputs will automatically mute the line outputs linked with that headphone output.
There is direct out on the evo 8, use of instruments without going through a digital audio sequencer?
Yes, to directly the monitor your inputs without any latency, you'd open the iD Control software and pull up the faders for the Mic 1-4 channels, this will then send the audio directly from the inputs to the outputs for monitoring.
@@Audientworld Thank you very much for this quick response.
Nice presentation. Can you assign 4 separate outs with Ableton Live 11 so that each of the 4 outputs can be sent to the FOH desk?
Yes, this can be done by enabling the Artist Mix. Then on the Artist Mix faders, pull up the DAW 3+4 faders. Then turn up both outputs to Max. All 4 outputs can then be used as individual outputs to feed a desk.
@@Audientworld Thank you👌👏
Bello, i use Logic, and i don’t have the monitoring of the effects i use in the daw. How should i comfigure it?
You'd want to turn on Input Monitoring on in Logic on the track you wish to monitor. This will then playback via the Mac 1+2 channels in the EVO mixer.
Is there a way to leave headphones plugged in and still use monitors? Would I need to send outputs 3-4 to a headphone amp?
If you've got a set of monitors connected to outputs 1+2 then you can simply use the headphone output 2 at the same time without affecting your monitors
@@Audientworld Can both headphones be plugged and monitors are also online? on all 4 outputs?
You just show the "Software Monitoring" for Mac (3:40 min). How do I switch it off in Windows?
Hi there, this is a setting in your audio software specifically rather than your operating system. The example in this video is showing the Software Monitoring menu item in Logic Pro. Please check your audio software manual or help pages to find the setting for you.
at 5:10, what are the output 5-6 I see? also do headphones work at all if I have 2 sets of monitors plugged in to outputs 1-4?
Outputs 5+6 are the Loopback outputs.
If you have two sets on monitors connected, plugging in a set of headphones will mute one set of monitors (HP1 mutes Outputs 1+2, HP2 mutes Outputs 3+4)
The EVO 4 has a hardware monitor mix button. But I cannot find this control on the EVO 8! So does that mean the EVO 4 is better than the 8 for use as a standalone stereo preamp/mixer (without a computer. or to record to a mobile device)? Apparently there is no hardware button to activate headphone jack monitoring on the EVO 8! Help!
Because of the additional inputs and outputs on the EVO 8, the routing is done through software rather than through the hardware. The EVO 4 is better suited to being used standalone because of this
Is it possible to use the Artist Mix feature on the Evo 4? Wondering if it is possible to use the rear out port, since there is a lack of a second headphone out port.
There is no artist mix on the EVO 4 as the headphone and monitor outputs are fed the same signal so its impossible to have a separate artist mix. The EVO 8 would be the better choice if this is important to your workflow.
...I'm using Ableton Live 10 Suite, and I bought the Evo 8 a few days ago, and used it live, but I noticed even though I've assigned outputs for my tracks, I'm still getting/hearing sounds from all the tracks in all 4 outputs, eg. tracks that I've assigned for outputs 1/2 are stilled being played in outputs 3 and 4, how do I correct this? When I'm performing live, I need to have that separation...thanks in advance
Enable Artist Mix in Evo app and then you can control what goes in output 1+2 and output 3+4 separately(clicking on outputs 3+4 on the right side will switch you to the 3+4 mixer.)
Hello folks
I bought Evo 8 but it's not functioning as required. All 4 Outputs are behaving same. It does not have separate Outputs 🙁.
For example, while my live performances I play keys and Synth bass from different midi controller's at the same time, Now what I need is to send only my Synth bass solo out to output 3 (or 3-4) but it's not going separately it's going along with the mix 1-2 in out 3-4 . 😢
So the conclusion is it does not provide you 4 separate out, but only provides stereo out on 1-2 & same stereo out of 1-2 along with some added instruments or click only.
I'm feeling helpless, I only bought Evo 8 to send separate out but it's not functioning as required.
I'll appreciate if some one proves me wrong.
Help me please 🙏
Hello there,
In this case, you'd just need to enable "Artist Mode" in the Setup menu of the EVO mixer software.
You can then click on outputs 3+4 and create a secondary mix for outputs 3+4. For your example, for outputs 3+4 you'd want to have only the fader for the Mac/PC3+4 channel pulled up which would give you an entirely independent output from outputs 1+2.
@@Audientworld Problem solved 😇
I was confused with the faders, So Evo Mixer has output 1+2 (Master mix) down the fader of Mac 3+4 and Output 3+4(Artist mix) down the fader of Mac 1+2 then we'll have entirely separate instrument out using EVO.
Thank God 🙏🎶
Thank you so much 🙏
Great to hear! We hope you enjoy using the EVO 8!
Is there a way of controlling the volume from both computer outputs (1+2 and 3+4) at the same time? we can lower each pair indivually, but we want to effectively bunch them together so we can adjust volume to both sets of speakers simultaneously.
Hello, this isn't possible on the EVO 8 I'm afraid, I can pass it onto our software team as a suggested feature but we can't promise we'll be able to implement it.
@@Audientworld Great! thanks for the info and appreciate the fast response.
How to connect about ipad pro 3 generation? I know evo8 has no usb-a type port. Evo8 connect hub(c type), and hub connect ipad, then there is no power supply
Should i use hub or computer that have more than 2 c type port or if hub have usb-a type, could it possible to use usb-a to c??
You can simply use a USB-C to USB-A cable if your device doesn't have USB-C ports. You can pick up these cables from most good retailers.
Can usb c to usb a cable be used to connect evo 8 with the pc & will such connection be able to power all the 4 mics on evo 8?
Using a USB-C to USB-A connection will only allow you to use the two channels of phantom power at a time.
Using a USB-C to USB-C cable, will give you access to the full 4 channels of phantom power.
I'm considering buying an EVO 8. I use Windows 10 OS. I also use a speaker system which puts out too much high-mids. Using Realtek HD Audio speaker outputs, I go into Windows 10 Sounds> Playback> Speakers> Properties> Enhancements> Equalizer, and I have a 10-band graphic equalizer on the outputs that I can mildly tweak to solve my high-mids problem. If I were using the EVO 8 for audio output rather than the Realtek HD Audio, would I be able to go into Sounds> Playback> EVO 8 outputs 1+2> Properties> Enhancements, and there would be an equalizer offered as an enhancement?
We don't offer any built-in equalisation on the unit, however, I believe that Audio Enhancements are available across all devices so you should be able to apply the same settings to the EVO 8 as well.
The available audio enhancements within Windows 10 settings varies depending on the playback device. For example, I have a PreSonus ioStation 24c interface. There are 4 available enhancements for it in Windows settings, but an equalizer is not one of them. What enhancements are available for the EVO 8 in Windows 10 settings?
There are no built-in enhancements for the EVO 8, however, people have used third party enhancements with the EVO on Windows previously.
Hello, is the audio interface compatible with Abelton Live, if so can we get a video?
Hey Chamis, EVO 8 is compatible with Ableton Live, we can definitely look into the idea of creating a setup video for Ableton. In the meantime Ableton have lots of tutorials and setups on how to get running with an audio interface, follow these through and you will be up and running in no time!
I use evo 4 for ableton :)
Could I send audio from channel 1 to output 1/2 and channel 2 to output 3/4. Wondering if I could send channel 1 (mic) to a pc through a 1/4 plug from headphones on evo to the mic input on a second pc. I just need a compact mixer for a single mic to 2 pcs.
Yes, this can be done. In the EVO mixer first, enable the Artist Mic in the setup menu. Then for the Output 1+2 mixer, pull up the Mic 1 fader and pan it centrally. Then click on Output 3+4 and pull up only the Mic 2 fader and again pan it centrally. Finally, ensure that both outputs are turned up sufficiently using the volume control on the unit itself.
@@Audientworld it sounds you should buy soundcraft notepad they are great. I use it together with evo 4, soundcraft are pretty cheap with all you get :)
I need help. I don't know much about computers, nor the language. I managed to click around and downloaded the Evo 8 App on my IMac. I wanted the Evo mixer. Now the tracks I made from Apple loops won't play. Can someone please help me? Thanks, Frank Charles.
In the EVO mixer app, ensure that the Mac 1+2 channel's fader is pulled up and this should playback out of the speakers/headphones.
If you are still having issues, please send a message to support@evo.audio and our team can help you!
@@Audientworld Many thanks. I will try again.
Would be awesome to be able to have effects in monitor/headphone mix.
Feature update?
Thank you for your feedback, unfortunately this would be tricky to implement as the iD44 doesn't have the DSP power on-board to do real-time effects.
can you make a low latency tutorial for the id44? thanks
Hi Pedro, we have an iD Mixer Overview which covers how to create low latency headphone mixes ua-cam.com/video/-aUhqzfXbg8/v-deo.html . It will work very similarly to EVO 8 as shown in this video
How to turn off Input Monitoring? I always hear myself
What DAW? Check our channel for guides on 9 DAWs that cover exactly this issue
@@AudientworldI figured it out I had to turn down the mix fader to 0 in the driver. But I had no signal on line input 3 and 4 for my keyboard. So I think I just send the evo 8 back and buy a different brand.
If you haven't already, could you send a message to our support team at support@audient.com? I'm sure they'll be able to help you with your audio routing and monitoring.
Are there routing features for this model?
The Mixer software allows you to route different audio to Outputs 1+2 and 3+4 as well as creating loopback mixes to route audio between applications.
I have installed the drivers, registered my evo 8, but when I connect it nothing happens, not even daw recognize the evo 8, what can it be?
Can you please try a different port, avoiding USB hubs or adaptors to rule out a USB connection? Can you also try a different USB cable if you have one available
@@Audientworld my pc don't have a C type input, so i can't try it in a different port
I'll try it with a different cable
How does this run with a PC? I've heard bad things with audient and a PC
It is fully supported on PC and Mac and will run just fine!
this mixer will not run on my new mac :D anyone else have this kind of problem ? :D
This can sometimes just be a simple USB connection problem. Can you send a message to support@audient.com and our team will help you to troubleshoot this.
@@Audientworldhey much thanks for reaching out to me ! Problem is solved ! ❤ it just worked after I wrote this comment 😅
Will there be an Evo Mixer app for iPad?
There are no current plans to release an EVO app for iOS or iPadOS.
Does evo mixer comes with evo 4?
it sure does! Just head over to evo.audio to download the latest software for your EVO 4.
