Audient iD22 5-stars Reviews

Best value for money ever

I always suggest the ID22, pre-amp are great as well as the converters. For this money you can’t find better audio interfaces.

The program isn’t always very intuitive but it’s ok. Some audio interfaces are easier to be carried around but it’s just a minor issue.

Audition this interface now

High quality build and audio and easy to use. The controls feel solid and are easy to change settings. The choice of options is good especially for microphone input vocal usage. The speaker outs sound fantastic too through my Adam A8X monitors as does the headphone output. I have recorded tens of albums using this interface and have had top quality results. Highly recommended.

Phenomenal

I use this in the home studio, and I've been blown away. Definitely the best in the price range.

I use the DI input daily, the converters and preamps are solid. The software is straight forward and the mixer is well laid out and intuitive.

It's pro audio at a budget price!

Best interface in the mid-price segment

This is seriously the best audio interface in the mid-price segment. Converters are top noch, mic preamps are great, DI input is great, the monitor controller is super handy and the software very easy to use.

Pros:

- Outstanding converters and preamps

- DI input is great

- Handy monitor controller with pristine sound

- Software driver is easy to use

- Very good price

Cons

- Pretty high crosstalk on the headphone output - maybe thats just my unit

- I wish they put the DI input and Headphone output at the front of the unit

- no on/off button

I own much more expensive Orion Antelope as well and Audient ID22 converters are definitely in the same ligue. I'm seriosly thinking about upgrading to the bigger brother iD44.

Great bang for your buck!

fantastic sound quality for the price! no complaints at all about this product, i use it every day, its a sturdy workhorse and i love it!

Audio interface works great with nice preamps

I've had this audio interface for years and so far i haven't gotten any hiccups with it whatsoever. I know it's a little bit sensitive to heat but other than that, it's a great work horse. The Software interface is easy to use and comes with two different layouts.

Great interface

This is exactly what i was looking for. The versatility with the expandability of the 8 channel over adat with passthrough from your daw is amazing. The software does go crazy when your adat external clock isn't the same sample rate though!

Very high quality for a reasonable price

The quality of the preamps and digital converters has made a huge difference to my recordings. I initially brought the iD14 but was disappointed in the output level (a 6 db difference between the two models) and to some extend the "coloured" quality of the sound. So I returned it and got this instead. This sound is more transparent, there's more headroom before clipping in recordings, and it's more expandable. I can't recommend this strongly enough if you want to record at a pro level. There are some glitches in the software, with it crashing a few times and notifying me that the clocking isn't synchronised even when it is, but these are not major issues. Mostly it works fine and sounds incredible.

Easy to use - Excellent sound

We bought it as a band. Recording demos and professional stuff with it. Delivers greatly. Never had a problem, years now.

Excellent!

I upgraded Focusrite Scarlett with iD22 and was surprised to hear the difference in DA conversion! It sounds great and it is very sturdy, but less heavy than I expected.

The only negative (and it's a small one) is that dim, cut and f buttons sometimes don't register the click when pushing them too gently.

I thought I'd miss the midi I/O, but I just use the midi via USB.

I'm actually thinking about also buying the smaller iD4 for live performances.

Super

very good equipment, I highly recommend it for beginners and pros !

Amazing Interface

I've been using this interface for 6 months now and I have never had a problem with it. This product has been the main audio interface in my home studio. Recording great sounding Bass, Guitars, synths, and vocals by themselves has never been easier. The setup is quick, the sound is amazing, and there is 0 latency.

Pros

Easy to set up

Easy to use

D.I. input sounds amazing

Knobs and buttons feel great

Most cost-efficient audio interface for home studios in the market

Has multiple outputs for multiple headphone mixes.

Cons

There is no on/off button, which is kind of annoying because you need to unplug it to turn it off.

This is the best sounding audio interface. And with this price point, I can see no other option.

good sound card

Good sound card for this price, Defects have not yet revealed but if anything is discovered, I will supplement the recall

Great Sound with very useful features

Excellent AD/DA, connected to my KH120 and SC203 the sound has more depth and definition that with my previous Focusrite 2i2. The monitor controller features are a great add on if you with to A/B you mixes on multiple speakers with trims to match volumes across both systems. Headphone powerful enought to drive my BT880 250omh with power to spare.

Worth the money

The Pre amps on the Audio interface are almost dead quiet, perfect for those who want to push their mics.

Sad it doesnt have an on and off switch tho, You need a powerstrip or to remove it from the plug manually,

Still haven't heard anything better...

...and I've used it extensively for production and recording during last year. Compared to this interface, a lot of recordings made through other soundcards simply sound mushy, like they lack highs and they are warbled and colder. It's nuances, really... But then again, this whole game is about nuances.

The best?

Apparently this is one of the best interfaces on the market in the mid-price segment. I'm not the one to be able to say that, since I only use it for playing VSTs and listening through monitors and headphones.

I previously had an UR22 mkII. Seeing how other people described the sound quality, I frankly expected to hear something wow. It is an improvement, the sound is more spatial, but it's subtle.

I basically got this interface for better headphone sound quality, instead of buying a headphone amp. It powers the Sennheiser HD58x (similar to HD660s in requirements) without any problems, with power to spare.

The latency is excellent, I can use 32 buffer size without any problems on my weak desktop processor.

All in all, my experience with it is excellent, stable, great sound, very low latency. I would recommend it.

Love it

I love everything about this audio interface. It has all the features i need for composing. especially that it has a JFET D.I input, there are really no competitors with this company for the price. The only thing wich is missing in my opinion --> switch ON/OFF button, i really miss this button on this interface. Recommended !

Best in it?s price range

I have been using this interface for 2 years. In this price range I believe it is the best you can get. Preamps are amazing, clean and transparent, and you can drive them more too, they have very nice analog harmonics. Workflow is very easy, construction very solid.

Awesome

It's perfect, not even kidding, it sound great, it's very easy to use. I love it, I go to the studio just to mix the songs I record at home, yes, at home! It's the best investment I've ever made, really!
