Audient iD4 MKII 2 x 2 USB-C Audio Interface Reviews

2-in/2-out USB-C Audio Interface with 1 Microphone Preamp, 1 JFET DI, Bus Power, 2 Headphone Outputs, and Software Bundle - macOS/Windows/iOS

Audient’s original iD4 had the audio industry rethinking what an entry-level audio interface could offer. Now, with the Audient iD4 MKII, Audient’s Little Interface That Could is an even better value for home and mobile music producers. Packing large-format console performance into a sleek desktop chassis, the Audient iD4 MKII fortifies your studio with one of Audient’s renowned Class A console mic preamps — the very same found in Audient’s ASP8024-HE recording console — along with an analog JFET DI stage to authentically capture the depth and dimension of your guitar or accompaniment instrument. We at Sweetwater are pleased to report that this latest version of Audient’s iD4 packs even better audio conversion, zippy USB 3.0 transmission speeds, and a future-looking USB-C connection for greater compatibility with modern laptops and tablets. Two studio-grade headphone outputs and a console-style monitor control supply trustworthy track monitoring and audiophile music reproduction. Then there’s Audient’s intuitive ScrollControl virtual scroll wheel, which lets you use the iD4 MKII’s big volume knob to tweak DAW and plug-in parameters and even dim your monitor output on command. Also new for MKII is Audient’s fully loaded ARC software suite, which gives you instruments, cab sims, plug-in FX, and Steinberg’s Cubase/Cubasis LE3 desktop and mobile DAWs upon product registration. Take it from recording engineers at Sweetwater: the Audient iD4 brought major value to the home and mobile studio. And with Audient’s iD4 MKII USB-C audio interface, there’s even more to love in this little box.

Clean audio

By Josafat R. from San Diego, CA

I am a ceremony singer and have been performing live for 7 years. I just recently got into recording and purchased this last week to use for my demos. The build and audio quality on this unit is incredible. It is also user friendly and compatible with IPad OS which is perfect if you're someone like me who does not have a laptop. I highly recommend this interface. The mic I use with it is the Lewitt MTP W950. Shout out to those guys as well.

Love this little box

By Steve from Elgin, IL
Music Background: Guitar and Audio Engineer of 25 years.

I had the ID24 and it was good but this little box is great for me since it's simpler to operate and just works. It sounds great, is easy to use, and I like how it isn't always on, like the ID24 was. This is powered by the usb-c so there is no annoying power brick or wall outlet needed. If you're recording one track at a time or podcasting, I highly recommend this! You can record a full band if you're recording one track at a time. You can't record a full drum set or dual mics on an acoustic guitar but I'm fine with that. I use EZ drummer for drums and EZ bass for bass....so I only need one input for my electric guitars. Then if I have need for vocals, I'll use this to record vocals after. It's a great unit. I have the monitor outs going to studio speakers and use it with my Mac when I'm not recording...listening to music, since it of course works as an external audio card interface, because that's what it is. I have my studio monitors connected to this for playback....just a pair of killer monitors, so I can listen to music, watch YouTube, or record music all with this. If I get into recording full bands again I'll get another rack unit that allows for more than 8 or 16 inputs at once but for now, this is all I need. Takes up very little space on my desk as well.

Really good product

By Sweetwater Customer

I love the simplicity of this audio interface and it's a great quality product.

Great interface with one caveat

By Sweetwater Customer

This interface is pretty much everything I needed it to be. Even looks great and feels like a well built device. The only issue it is very particular about what kind of power it's getting and bus power is the only option. It really seems to require nothing but USB C (output) power to function 100%. Giving it the minimum requirement (according to Audient) of 0.9A @ 5V seems to be enough to record fine but for some reason it just won't work properly in a Zoom or Discord call unless it gets more power.

Even using USB C to USB C the device is basically using cables as a consumable. Every few months I have to replace the cable with another that reaches the requirements. This may be unique to my device. I don't know as I don't think I've seen anyone else with this issue. But, in my opinion if your device performs better with more power than most USB ports can provide it should probably be capable of doing so in more than one way.

Excellent trade up from 2i2 Gen 3

By Jon P.

I've been using the Scarlett Solo 3G up to now but it recently became problematical, drop outs and scratchy pots so time for an upgrade.

iD4 is one heck of a step up!

Easy to use and a lot of new features that I will have to spend some time with.

The setup was easy and love how easy it is to use with the controls on the top surface.

On board Mouse/Scroll control for enabled apps looks very interesting

It works well on my MacBook Pro for traveling as it is small and light enough to just pop in and go.

Strong, sturdy, and Audient has a pro reputation from their ASP console line

About Customer Service

By Robert W. from Fort Worth, TX.
Music Background: My picture is in the dictionary under GEAR FREAK.

The Audient iD4 is my 4th interface, and all were from different manufacturers. It is well built and the layout and functionality are intuitive. I have not tried recording with it yet because I thought I had issues with downloading drivers or whatever and didn't want to attempt recording before setting sample the rate and buffer size in the iD4.

In reality, everything had been downloaded simply and perfectly on the first attempt. I just didn't realize it because the task bar icon is white and was virtually invisible due to my task bar's extremely light, almost white color.

So this review is not about the unit. It's about customer service. I emailed support concerning the problem I thought I was having and got a courteous, helpful response within 24 hours. Repeat, rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat.

The quality and promptness of the customer support was beyond anything I could have expected or even hoped for.

Thank you, Audient!

worst firmware I've ever seen

By Sweetwater Customer from CA

You can buy a $ focusrite and have direct monitoring out of the box or you can go with the winners at audient and the firmware literally won't work (it's stuck on Initialising 3 every time you try opening it) and their IT support will get back to you in 3 weeks with no solutions.

My first interface - iD4 Mk2 is an excellent choice

By Dennis C.

Minimal setup for beginners like me

Clean and details recordings with loop back a must have feature.

The ID scroll mouse dial is versatile,came in handy with DAW enabled plug ins.

This shows how clever the Audient engineers are, there's always some cool additional features that the competition doesn't seem to have.
They seem to think beyond the box and that's super cool

Simple plain, great audio with good monitoring capability.

This audio interface is brilliant and I see why everyone speaks highly of it.

By Jim C. from Metro LA

This is my second Audient interface,I have an iD44 Mk1 for my desktop and now an iD4 Mk2 for mobile use

Build quality
As with the iD44 its built using metal which is already a huge bonus and really gives this thing some durability.
It looks and feels high quality

Set Up
Very easy, just plug it in and download the software from their website

Audio Quality
Audio quality is phenomenal.
My iD44 is mains powered so delivering plenty of juice so I was interested to see how the bus powered mic pre would sound

The result = handles my microphone brilliantly and sounds identical to the iD44 to my ears

Interface software and freebies
The software for the Interface is clear to use.
Very easy and straightforward

Download freebies
The Spitfire Audio is astonishing,I've never heard such rich sounds

Overall
Just buy it. It's absolutely wonderful and I can't fault it.

Incredible performance and value

By Colm from Novi, MI

I recently discovered how much better vocals and acoustic guitar recordings sound in my 2-story foyer / staircase than it does in my usual recording space. But I really didn't want to disassemble and lug my 19" 8-mic Apogee interface back-and-forth to the foyer every time I wanted to record. So I purchased the iD4 Mk-II interface for recording in those situations. It's fully-powered by my laptop through the included USB-C cable, making the entire setup work without any AC adapter.

The sound of the mic preamp is excellent: simply transparent. The metal case and knobs / switches all feel sturdy. It easily drives my Sony headphones which have a fairly low impedance.

I was debating purchasing the iD4 (single mic) or the iD14 (two mic preamps). I almost always only need one mic, and I liked that the iD4 has a dedicated DAW / MIC mix level knob. The iD14 doesn't. It's super-convenient to just turn that knob to adjust the mix in my headphones while keeping my DAW app front-and-center on my laptop's display, versus having to switch back-and-forth between my DAW and the Audient app to adjust the mix on my computer with the iD14.

Installation and setup on my MacBook Pro was effortless and it has had glitch-free operation with Logic Pro. I'm really happy with my purchase. Highly-recommended if you only need one mic preamp.

Great and Easy to Use with Neural DSP Plug-Ins

By Dan
Music Background: 30 Years of Rocking the Bedroom

This is my first interface and using Neural DSP plug-in's for guitar. Works great, sound is good and easy to use with my MacBook. Michael Eads hasn't steered me wrong yet and I only buy my stuff from Sweetwater. That 2 year warranty is awesome and their tech support is awesome too. Had to call to get advice on how to get low latency and problem solved in 3 minutes!

I like this little interface

By Cassidy G. from Gilroy, CA
Music Background: Independent artist and creative

Definitely hear the difference coming from a Focusrite 2i2 to this new Audient. My playback audio is very clean and my recording input is very clean, maybe even too clean for some types of songs. Nonetheless it is worth purchasing!

Now I Love it!

By Jaime from Westerville, Oh
Music Background: good listener

I was experiencing continuous disconnection from my Mac once it went to sleep. I would have to unplug and plug it in again to reconnect the interface. I got tired of it and I was about ready to give up and return it, but I decided to try something before ditching it, I upgraded the connector cable to an "overkill" USB-C4, 40Gbps data cable (ridiculous, I know) that I had in my computer leftover parts box...
I have never again gotten disconnected since. So now I can confidently say that I love this interface, and with that cable upgrade, I highly recommend it. (I still don't understand why the cable that came with it was not enough). For those who may be struggling with the same issue, I would encourage you to upgrade your cable...

Loving this little beast!

By Sweetwater Customer

do not be fooled by the price point, this unit could easily have been sold for much more! The loopback feature alone make it worth its weight in gold. Highly Recommend this product for a mobile, sturdy, bus powered set up. Conversion is awesome with my Slate VSX headphones. Have not tested the mic preamps but from what I have heard, they are solid. Audient really delivered on this product, I will be exploring more of their products in the future.

August 17, 2022

Cost performance ratio

By A.M.M. from NYC

The Loopback feature works flawlessly—that alone is worth the price of this box. Great cost-performance ratio.

Big step up from 2i2

By Jason D.

This audio interface is brilliant and I see why everyone speaks highly of it.

It's built using metal and really gives this thing the feel of durability.
Set up was a breeze. Very easy, just plug it in and download the software from their website
Audio quality is phenomenal. Handles my microphone brilliantly and sounds great when I'm producing music.
Knobs on the top surface so no more trying to figure out where I was on my 2i2
The mouse 'scroll' control is kinda cool
The Control Panel software for the Interface is clear to use. Very easy and straightforward.

In summary,iD4 Mk2 is really about the sound the ADDA delivers,a massive step forward.

Fun times !

Great Little Interface

By Sweetwater Customer from Michigan

I've had a blast with this device so far. Sound is super clean, gain controls are smooth and gradual. The manual / documentation is concise and easy to understand. Drivers and software are simple and unobtrusive.

I primarily use the Audient for single instruments into a DAW (guitar, or a mic for voiceovers). It has just enough knobs to get the job done, but extensible if desired as well. (the Scroll Control feature is starting to grow on me). My old interface had a separate power cord, whereas the Audient gets its power from the USB cable which helps prevent extra wires. That alone is the thing I enjoy most about this.

Most newer PCs shouldn't have a problem, but if you don't have an onboard USB-C port, you may need to also grab a Type-C to Type-A USB cable as the box only includes a USB-C cable (no adapters).

Market leader by far

By Ted P. from California
Music Background: VO

This is the hands-down the best audio interface I have used.

I do professional voice overs and people can't tell the difference from when I used to use a $2,500 pre-amp, to this much cheaper and affordable one.

Love that all the controls are on the top surface so very easy to see knob settings and what's going on meter wise etc

I strongly recommend this, over any other one no matter what the cost.

Shipping was a day sooner than expected.

Well done Audient for designing such a great tool and for Sweetwater's service

Poor Choice for Linux

By Feda H. from Alexandria, VA

This review is written from the perspective of a Linux user so some of this may not apply to other platforms. Tested on Fedora 35 and Ubuntu 20.04

Interface build quality appears very good. Design however is very flawed. Volume button is digital and resets to zero for every use. Interface has no power button and stays turned on even if you put your system to sleep.
When you plug it in, it is recognized immediately and correctly. Audio quality is great. Unfortunately, that is were the good news ends. If you put your system to sleep or reboot your system, interface locks up and does not work. The only way to fix it is to unplug it and plug it back in. So basically, every time you wake your system or restart, you will have to unplug the USB cable, plug it back in and adjust the volume. That gets old pretty quick.

I contacted Audient support but refused the help because I use Linux. This was expected, but it's still worth noting.

Thanks to great support from Sweetwater I was able to replace this with a UAD Volt 276 which is much better in every imaginable way.

Still, if you don't mind plugging this thing in and out before every use it will work, but I would not recommend this for anyone running Linux.

Works great, reviews are dead right

By Scott R.

Delivers way beyond it's mid level price point

love the DI

April 5, 2022

must have!

By tyler k. from Milwaukee
Music Background: bedroom shredder

ok so I bought the m1 Mac to learn guitar as I did not have a computer. after playing for a year with various amps and pedals on myn$ guitar I was never able to find tones that I actually really liked. So I decided to get the audiobox usb96 because I wanted to try the neural dsp archetype Petrucci plugin and see what this m1 Mac could do. all of sudden I was blown away by the tones I was getting. Still my Bose computer speakers sounded muddy and crackly so I contacted Sweetwater and they suggested a pair of Yamaha hs5's. that was a total game changer, now everything was sounding so much bigger and clearer, except the speakers would clip and crackle unless I set my gain to its smallest setting on the audiobox and played at a low volume. I carried on this way for a few months just playing quietly but I was getting the clipping even on YouTube videos and such. So I finally realized the weak link in the chain must be the interface so after watching many reviews and speaking to the guys at Sweetwater I decided for the $ price point this was the way to go. Honestly I didn't know if it was going to fix the clipping and crackling but I figured best case scenario it would, worst case I return the id4.

so after plugging it in I tried YouTube and guitar videos and no clipping!!!!! then I plugged my guitar in and started up the archetype Petrucci and I was absolutely blown away by how creamy and smooth and rich and clear the sound was. I wish I had better language to describe how different and how much better my overall initial experience was, I could not believe my guitar could ever sound this way. my expectations were completely shattered and I would strongly recommend to anyone don't go cheap on your audio interface just because its your first one. I haven't tried any other interfaces besides the two mentioned but I can't imagine id be happier than this.

apart from the auditory experience, the unit is solid and heavy and the knobs feel great to the touch. the levels are so easy to see and understand with the led indicators and being a complete amateur I'm sure more experienced individuals could really get a lot out of this. As for me I'm 100% satisfied

Perfect for me and my spoken words – many of them!

By Charlie B. from Columbia Country, NY
Music Background: Writer, speaker, storyteller.

I'm a newbie but an extremely particular, fussy, demanding one, annoyingly so. Last fall I began the hunt for a high-quality mic and interface for recording radio stories and an audiobook trilogy. Many weeks of research led me to the Austrian Audio OC18 mic and the Audient ID4 MkII. The combination is stunning – wonderful rich, clear tones, and, to my ears, a silent audio chain. Using the Audient is uncomplicated, and the controller feature (which lets you adjust settings in the DAW via a large knob on the Audient) is slick. This combination is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive, but I can't imagine wanting anything else. It's SWEET!

February 10, 2022

It's an Audient,what more do I need to say ?

Review part 2

By Chad S. from Bronx, NY

Ok, I love my new iD4, absolutely love it. The product itself, the quality and ease of connectivity and use for applications that I was already using has just enhanced the final product.
However, Audient's customer support is lacking very much. Here's the scenario:
I'm a voice actor and I wanted to improve the "sound floor" in my recordings. The iD4 gets that for me. Excellent!
It also ships with a Cubase package, which really wasn't a selling point for me. I bought an iPad Mini 6 so that I can do quick recording without having a computer fan in the background. It's small, powerful and easy to set up with my iD4. I can be in and out of the vocal booth. Audient has all these download details for getting the Desktop version set up, but absolutely zero details about the iOs version, even though they state "it comes with iOS version". So, I downloaded Cubasis LE 3 for iOS anyway. It's a demo. That is, until you plug your registered iD4 into you iOS device, then it becomes what I thought was a full version. But nope! You can't share or export your projects. I messaged Audient about it before I upgraded, but never heard back from them. So, I upgraded to the $14.99 version in order to send the recorded data to my Mac and edit with Reaper.
I mean it's only $....but this whole process tells me that their promotion was incomplete. If you say something is included, make that happen.
And on Steinberg's part, exporting and sharing should be included even in a limited or demo version. I mean, how are we supposed to really hear the quality if we can't export to another device, or send to a colleague to check the performance.
So, Sweetwater gets 100% for their suggestion for me to upgrade to the iD4. I LOVE IT!!!
Audient gets a 50% because you need to have the customer support that is just as strong as your product.
And Steinberg gets a 25% because the excruciating labyrinth to get the codes, download and install the products is very aggravating. And having a not fully functional demo is a terrible idea. I still don't have Cubase on my Mac, I use Reaper.

Did not expected the huge difference in AD-DA over my previous interface

Great little interface,5/5

By Andy J.

I loved the sound quality as soon as I plugged in and played a song.

It has a metalwork finish that blends right into my Mac Book Pro based workflow

Lovely preamp, Audient calls them "console grade' and it seem to be a major step up from my Focusrite SOLO

The dual headphone socket will be an added advantage and the digital conversion is clearly better than anything I've auditioned before.

USB C connecter suited me the best as I don't have to go for another usb hub for my macbook.

Great for home studios and in my opinion is the best in this price range.

Voice Over must have

By Chad S. from SMITHFIELD, VA

Ok, so I was looking for an interface with USB-C since I was issued an Apple M1 MacBook Air at work. I needed something with a very low noise floor. Out of the Audient iD4, the Universal Audio Volt and the SSL2...the Audient has the lowest sound floor and was recommended by Greg Lanning at Sweetwater. Upon using it, I was blown away on how much cleaner my recordings were. I was recording straight to a Zoom H6, so the Audient is a HUGE step up for my small studio. it is perfect for Voice Over work.
Next upgrade will be a microphone...But for now, I'm very happy.

Really,really big upgrade

By Steve T.

I purchased this to replace my Focusrite Solo 3rd Gen interface because it was unreliable
My microphone was always crackling and when I was listening to audio it made random noises and it was really annoying.

Audient iD4 is a huge upgrade for me, couldn't be more satisfied with the purchase.

Simple and clear controls on the top surface makes it so easy to use.

Sounds a lot clearer than my old interface and also it's a lot more reliable, build quality feels a lot better as well.

By Don J.

Fantastic interface for the money, free plugins are a big bonus especially the cab pack, super easy to use once set up and very good sound quality, would highly recommend!

Quality product, terrible drives for PC/Windows users

By Ben L. from Sacramento Area, California
Music Background: Just hobby into high end audio and recording

The product is really really well built but is not the best due to its software. I get major crackling and terrible audio quality from the output but my microphone sounds great coming from it. Not to mention that the box it comes in makes the AI really well packaged. If it wasn't for the drivers id give it 5 stars.

Super easy to set up and get recording

By Nic F.

Instant gratification !

Plug into the USB3 laptop port and you're off.
My AT2020 has never sounded so good when bus powered.
Di is super great on bass.
Great sound, crystal clear detail, my recordings never sounded better!
Loopback pretty neat add as well.

Built like a tank and all the controls feel really solid.

I expect to keep the Audient iD4 for a long time

Great recommendation Sweetwater.

Excellent interface and preamp

By Sweetwater Customer

My Sweetwater rep recommended this as an upgrade from my old Presonus Audiobox 22 for powering my Shure SM7B. I already had a Cloudlifter CL1 for boosting gain with my SM7B, but the Audiobox just wasn't cutting it for clarity and had too much noise. The iD4 MKII preamp is crystal clear and has extremely low noise even when you are pushing the gain to the edge. There is enough gain to run the SM7B without a cloud lifter, but I still have mine in the chain since I already had one laying around.

I love the controls, meters, and ability to use the volume encoder knob to control parameters in my daw. For the money, you can't go wrong with this interface.

Great for Zoom or any other line audio requirements

By Jonathan B. from Nashville Tn
Music Background: composer

I bought my iD4 during the Covid-19 lockdown for Zoom and music workshops as I wanted better sound quality than than my laptops built-in audio.

For a solo artist, an iD4 plus a good mic or two is really all you need.

The console preamp is surprisingly good at this price, the DI has a nice, warm tone and the ADDA conversion is stellar.

An affordable and NECESSARY musician's tool for today's times

Significant step up on what was already a great interface

By Jason M.

Listed my iD4 Mk1 when I saw the iD4 Mk2 start shipping.

Been using it for a while and I'm now happy to confirm that the recordings it delivers are superior in every way.
The new ADDA are standout,way,way better than anything on the market at this price.

The feature set is similar to the Mk1 as is the build construction.

Loopback add is cool if you need it.

Always about the sound though and iD4 Mk2 sounds real sweet to me

I'm very impressed . . .

By Kelly L. from San Francisco East Bay
Music Background: Voice-Over Talent

I love my Audient iD4 mkii. I was a Focusrite Scarlett user for several years and it took me a long time to finally make the switch. But enough people in the know kept saying it's better, so I went for it. They were right. From the simple stuff, like the monitor mix so I don't have to turn off my monitors to avoid feedback when I record (like I had to with the Scarlett), to more importantly, the superior preamps which are way more noise and distortion free, to slick stuff like the iD button that turns the output level into a smart scroller. It's making editing my older stuff a challenge because it sounds better, but making recording new stuff a pleasure. A great product.

Audient iD4 is a great interface to choose

By Tony W. from Chicago area
Music Background: Recording for fun

Fantastically designed audio interface powered by the USB-C port off my MBP
Quality is excellent, built like a tank, and small footprint.
Super cool to have all the controls on the top panel as it makes things so much easier though would like a bit more metering.
Very low latency, dynamic, low noise, and transparent preamps.

Superb!

If you can't track killer sound with this then it ain't the interface !

By Greg M. from Santa Fe NM
Music Background: Songwriter

Super great interface,just the right amount of features needed to use as a quick 'notepad' style of interface

Delivers clean and detailed sound and rock solid

We live in an age of amazing recording tools

Great interface choice

By Jon C. from SF area
Music Background: song writer

Had the Mk1 for around 4 years with no issues at all.

Saw that the new Mk2's now offer Loopback and way, way better ADDA performance than the Mk1 and the rest of the pack.

In fact outta sight better not just better!

Love the new colorway

All good

Great design and sound

By Joey J. from NYC area

I keep being amazed by how simple yet practical Audient keeps their audio interfaces.

I just bought the Mk2 for the same $'s as I bought the Gen 1, 4 years later !

Every single aspect has a small but significant upgrade :
1. USB-C connection instead of the old usb style.
2. More headphone headroom, so, even if I crank it quite loud, the sound comes out clean.
3. The pre-amps are ridiculously clean and very warm sounding.
4. ADDA spec's are now out of sight better and the sound is ridiculous for the price,massively better and cleaner than the competition
5. The latency/buffer handling is also improved.

Great new colorway that fit's with my Apple desktop

Amazing amazing amazing

Audient iD4

By Chris J. from New Jersey
Music Background: Guitarist (45 years) studio experience and live performance

It is built like a tank! All metal housing, sturdy and has weight. The convenience of having gains, a large volume control, buttons and monitor lighting (which are bright, clear and accurate) on top of the interface is the way to go. Gain controls have a nice weighty feel to them. The the sound is fantastic! Clear, bright and accurate through monitors or headphones. The JFET input is warm and clear for guitar, that sounds absolutely great! I would've liked an a/c power supply with on and off, but that is not a deal breaker and would be a significant price increase. Overall, this interface is miles above others under $200.00 for sure. Ease of use and impeccable sound make it an outstanding buy.

Class-leading audio interface at a great value

By Benjamin K. from Washington, D.C.
Music Background: Bass Guitar

Because the internet was raving over the paper specs of this new audio interface, I had to give the iD4 MkII a try. And let me tell you that this is the best audio interface that you can buy for your money right now. I get exceptionally clean recordings from my bass guitar and dynamic microphones. The metal frame's build quality is superb. On top of the best mic pre and converters you can get for the $, the modern design makes it the perfect package for small home studios. I am very satisfied with my purchase, and I hope you can experience the same.

Audient iD4 MK ll Fantastic Interface !

By Dennis T. from Milwaukee,WI
Music Background: Multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, producer, Live performer

Money well spent! The Audient iD4 MK ll is a rock solid piece of equipment literally. An all steel build. The same high quality A-D/D-A convertors that are used in their high end products. This unit has a multitude of useful features your going to love.
I have been producing and playing music for 30+ years. I came to this product after I lost use of my Presonus firestudio 10x10 due to an upgrade to my computer, putting in SSD drives and a fresh install of Windows 10. POOF ! Windows no longer supported the firestudio. I was freaking out. $ down the drain, and since I was no longer recording my band or others and covid interfered with live performance, I was back to working on my personnel catalog of tunes I never had a chance to finish. So I bought a Presonus 2x2 which in my opinion was noisy. RF interference, pops and crackles. So back to Sweatwater and my awesome sales Rep. Derek Kemp, who upgraded me to the iD4 MKll. this unit is SO QUIET it scared me ! Plus my Guitars and synthesizers (arturia V 8) play flawlessly with the warmth of the iD4 MK ll. Sweatwater's return policy and Derek Kemps outstanding advice has me dancing in my studio ! and I don't dance. If you want to lay down pristine tracks, call Derek

Audient iD4 Mk2 great upgrade !

By Brian J. from Miami
Music Background: project studio owner

I'm a graduate of Full Sail in Florida where they have a room full of ASP8024 Classic consoles so I know about the Audient sound and how smooth it tracks, with little EQ needed.

My previous backup interface started to struggle with the drivers and would loose USB connection on a regular basis and I was recommended the new iD4 Mk2 as a replacement.

I'm totally happy with my purchase,does exactly what I need it to do, has been rock solid so far and being bus powered means I can go mobile at any time I choose

Clean,detailed recordings and a nice Di and it does sound like the Classic ASP8024 !

Highly recommended

Great design, great product

By Oscar from Atlanta area
Music Background: Streamer

Just super nice and sleek interface that does what it should!
It is super user-friendly and the sound quality is good.
For streamers that don't need a mixer, this is a great interface to connect your XLR mic to your computer.

Garbage

By Evan from Kokomo, IN

Product overheated like crazy and the preamps are NOT good. I had to crank the mic gain up to 7 just to get a decent signal and it still sounded distorted (using a condenser microphone). Only reason I give this three stars instead of one is because the customer service was absolutely fantastic. I called them up, told them what was wrong and they exchanged it with no problem whatsoever.
