I replaced my Mbox Pro 3 with this interface because the Mbox just gave me issues. I just got the Audient ID14 the other day and being the nerd that I am I hooked it up right away....set up and running in less than 10 minutes. I was curious about the mic pres since everyone seemed to love the way they sounded, so I A/B'd them against my UA Solo 110. Honestly didn't want to accept the fact that the Audient mic pre sounded better. I literally recorded 5 different A/B takes and honest to GOD, the Audient mic pres sound better. It could have something to do with there being no way to bypass the Audient mic pres, but at the end of the day I don't really need the Solo 110 any longer. There is also a noticeable difference in how the music sounds coming out of the speakers....the A/D D/A conversion is top notch and I can hear more detail than when I had the Mbox Pro 3. You get way more than your money's worth with this interface. btw the mic pres are super quiet! For $300 you get a great interface, no latency issues, and actual usable really good mic pres. Its a project studio dream come true.

I have had other beginner audio interfaces and the iD14 sounds and records beautifully. Pros: Setup and install was a breeze. I'm a techy type of a guy so I always check manufacturer website for the most up to date drivers and software. If you are a guitarist the direct input on this thing is killer. Recording my cheap little Fender squire never sounded so clear. I compared my cousin's 1st Gen Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 guitar input to this and the Guitar/D.I. on the Audient is much better. My vocal recordings from my Oktava MK318 non modded has also changed allowing me to hear more on the low and high end. The build quality is very sturdy where I'm not afraid if it drops. Visual LED levels are great. Software is simple and easy to use. The dials and switches are very well made. Cons: Output gain on headphone jack could be better. I don't think the USB port will last if someone uses this as their main portable audio interface. I say this because it wiggles a little. Besides these two cons, go and buy this thing.

i had this and id22. i kept this one because it sounded just as good as the id22 but was about half the price. i compared the sound of the id14 to my echo audiofire 12, a focusrite scarlet 18i20, and the ad converters in my grace preamp. i will say it sounds noticeably better then the echo and the focusrite. i noticed it has a much tighter bass sound and a noticeably wider stereo spread. it made a big difference. it was real and noticeable upgrade. although i went with the id14 over the id22, i'll say the id22 was also great. i didn't end up needing the extra bells and whistles or extra outputs so i went with the id14. also one thing i like better about the id14 over the id22 is that the id14 allows you to use the large volume knob as a software controller. you just put your mouse over something like a volume fader or a pan knob and you can control it with the big knob. pretty cool for small adjustments.

First bought Focusrite 2i2 it was nice for the price but buying the Id14 it doesn't compare. Loving the mic pre amp it's quality! You won't find a better one in its price range.

I have used several interfaces in my life and this one so far has the best quality how can a wayyy older interface like the M- Audio Pro Fire 610 could have a off and on button and this one doesnt? That was a wrong decision made by Audient because you will either decide to keep the phantom power on all the time or plug and unplug all the time..not only it is tedious to do this it can also damage the USB connector which is right next to it..one time I was about to record in Reason and while I was plugging the power cord I just tapped the USB cord with my finger and it made the interface malfunction so I had to restart the pc! not a good look on a card in this caliber when the Focusrite 2i2 that to me its close to this one but not better, has a power button also. To conclude if you dont care about the things I have mentioned you will like the quality as tedious as I made it sound its not a deal breaker.

I purchased my iD14 14 months ago. Loved it. Read on. The other night I went to mix a session and noticed some serious hissing. The Mic 1 input meter was showing a signal even though nothing was attached. When I turned the gain knob on the unit it produced a crackle that I'm surprised my monitors survived. After some back and forth emails with customer service - including a recording of the issue - I was told that the issue was related to hardware and that my only recourse was to have it fixed on my dime - even though I was barely two months outside of the warranty window. While I understand how a warranty works I also understand that leeway is possible when the onus is on the company who manufactures and sells a $300 product - one which I would expect them to stand behind a little more, especially since the failure was no fault of mine. My Audient iD14 is now a $300 paperweight. Thanks Audient!

None of the positives really matter if you can't rely on the unit do they? Yeah, mics & guitar both sound great thru this thing, that's why I got it. I ALSO got it believing it was professionally made & would hold up to light-average use. I was wrong. Within less than an hour's use, mic input 1 does NOT work & never will again. No idea why. Start using input 2 & thankfully no issues w that...yet. Next major problem, this thing all too frequently bugs out on me...like no sound for no reason whatsoever. This happens both inside AND outside of my DAW (using Logic ProX). I've never had issues like this w all kinds of 99 dollar interfaces, EVER. I've had this thing now for approximately 6 months & it's at a point now where it stops working SO MUCH, it is unusable. Pretty sad considering my expectations. I read the reviews & it sounded so great but MY reality has been far from that. I'm not even going to begin to bother trying to get this thing fixed, whether it's under warranty or whatever, I don't care. Something THIS poorly made is hardly worth "fixing". I'll just get something else & avoid Audient from now on. Booooo
