Hi

As Audient support has become useless (already awaiting more than 2 weeks to answer my tickets) can someone who have experience with Audient ID44 mk2 interface and using external outboard tell me if it is possible to use output channel 1/2 for those duties as well. Everything is working as expected on channels 3/4 but I got no luck so far with 1/2 outputs. My other question is if you can use send/return channels on those interfaces also for mixing duties not only for tracking. If yes can someone shed a light please?

Thanks.

Hi, I don't use this interface specifically, but I'm familiar with this situation. Are you wanting to use all analog outputs simultaneously? Because using outputs 3/4 are somewhat easier to setup if you only need a stereo pair at a time (as you've discovered). However, using both is possible. You will need to set it up in the id mixer application. The most straight forward would probably be setting up one of your cue mixes (I'll use cue mix A, but any would work) to receive DAW outputs 5/6 and then setting analog outputs 1/2 to output cue mix A. You can still use headphones to monitor with, just keep them set to main mix, which is probably already set up to work properly.

EDIT: just to be clear, you would then route audio on outputs 5/6 from your DAW to use the outboard gear connected to output jacks 1/2 of the Audient.

The send/return jacks on inputs 1 and 2 will not help for mixing. They are on the input side (before the ADC) and just give you a way to track these inputs with outboard gear before hitting the converter.

Hi thanks for your reply. Really appreciate it. Will try to follow your instructions. Shame that even here there is no one from Audient to help me with that.
