Perfect sound quality sound! I was impressed from the first listening!! I use it for music productions, mixing, mastering and sound designs. It's easy and effective! Never had an issue in one year of use.

I have been using this interface in my studio for a while now. I am very pleased with it, the preamps are very transparent and provide a good amount of gain.

Drivers for windows are rock solid. I use it with Studio One 5, and most of the times i'm tracking vocals while monitoring through the software. I'm able to get very low latencies with great stability.

Every control for the preamps is hardware: knob for gain, switches for phantom, hi-pass. This might seem less important, but for me it is very handy when tracking! The first few takes I keep reaching the gain knob with my hand to adjust it to the performance.

Perfect !

Very capable interface, the sound quality is outstanding, coming from a behringer umc 404hd it's day and night. The listening experience is so much clearer and detailed, even the stereo image seems wider. The preamps are clean, lots of gain, very low noise floor.

Downsides are :

-it's quite a big interface, not so easy to take on the road although the construction is solid so not impossible.

-no midi inputs/outputs

-only go to 96khz (but who cares ?? All my projects are in 44.1 and no complaints)

Overall a great product, good value, totally recommend it !

Best interface under 1000E!

Small, rigid, with excellent sound. Everything you need in your home studio - high quality DIs, transparent mic preamps, good volume controller, 2 headphone preamps and more channels through ADAT! win win

Amazing

Amazing feeling when you get it, the 2 heaphone outputs and easy button layout are make it amazing to work with it. However the input gain is not as linear as I thought it would be, even tho there is almost none noise floor when you crank it

the only thing that I dont like is the finish, finger print magnet in the black part

Solid interface - worth it

I upgraded from a Saffire Pro 40. The difference is like day and night. The monitoring on the iD44 is top-notch. It's as if I bought new monitors, honestly. I would highly recommend this interface for working ITB.

The ADAT connectivity also works flawlessly, so no issues there. You would definitely need to expand using ADAT if you want to use outboard gear, because there are not enough ins and outs.

The plug-ins are a bit 'eh', that's the only 'flaw' the product has, really. The hardware is superb, but the plug-ins you get from Audient are not that great.

Pro's:

Amazing pre-amps

Amazing monitoring

comes with USB C to USB C or USB A, so connectivity is nice

Good connectivity

Cons

Plug-ins that come with it aren't that great

You will definitely need to expand it if you use it with outboard gear
