    Best Budget Audio Interface - Audient iD14

    Hey all, I picked up the iD14 based on a recommendation here and felt compelled to do a review on it. Link: http://youtu.be/roWYaiaDgoY I'm no pro or anything, but feel free to post any thoughts down below. If, at the least, to tell me what I could have covered or done better. Enjoy!

    Splitting a TRS Balanced Connection?

    For the people who find this thread searching Google or otherwise, I figured out how to loop the sound without using any cables, connections or inputs.    Simply download the program VT Host (http://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm). Within this program you can literally set an...

    Splitting a TRS Balanced Connection?

        Alright, I hope there is something in there about looping it. Thanks for your help.    P.S. Love the name. Another j.o. who had us killed in Iraq for no reason.

    Splitting a TRS Balanced Connection?

    Okay, so here's the deal.    I used one of the cables I had to send the Sound Card Z into the 2i4 and it works great. However, I need to use both inputs to get sound from both the speakers. This is a problem because if I want to connect my microphone, I am going to need to constantly take my...

    Splitting a TRS Balanced Connection?

    Awesome, thank you.    I have nothing against the dedicated headphone socket on the Focusrite but the sound quality coming from it just isn't as good as it is coming from my amp. I'd much rather not go through all this looping, trust me.    One last question. You say connect my sound card...

    Splitting a TRS Balanced Connection?

    Ahh, th Ahh thanks for the info, that certainly clears things up. Before having a cable wrapping around to the front XLR port perhaps I'll try tweaking with the Focusrite tools. However, as it stands the audio was far better from the sound card. It was loud enough coming from the interface...

    Splitting a TRS Balanced Connection?

    It looks like I might have to get an interface with a balanced input as well. The Komplete Audio 6 has a balanced input as well and I could run my line out from the sound card into that and then run the line out to the monitors. As long as that would allows me to hear through the monitors when...

    Splitting a TRS Balanced Connection?

    I didn't know I can do that so that works. Will I still get the DSP from the sound card when I switch to it as my device? Also, I would need to go 3.5mm out to RCA correct and then have the monitors plugged into the balanced connection correct? One more thing, if I do this will that mean I...

    Splitting a TRS Balanced Connection?

    I have a sound card in my computer that processes the audio for entertainment better than my audio interface does (Focusrite Scarlett 2i4). However, I want to be able to reference recordings on my monitors through the interface without constantly taking the cables out and switching between my...

    DT990 Pro 250Ohm Question

    So these puppies are on sale for $150. I recently picked up an interface (Focusrite 2i4) and wanted a pair on phones to mix commentary vocals with along with my studio monitors (Mackie MR5MK3). I also wanted to use these phone for movies and music listening. I have the Sound Blaster Z as a...

    Komplete Audio 6 vs MBox 3 vs ???

    Hey all, I'm back to annoy the pros with another audio question. This time, about an audio interface.    I record YouTube videos and have been using a Blue Spark Digital (a USB mic) that I like very much. However, I think I will get better quality recordings by selling this and going with the...

    DAC/AMP and Sound Card Combo Question

    No, I have not. However, I am more concerned with my monitors. I want to know if the external DAC/AMP with enhanced the sound coming from my monitors as well as a pair of headphones.

    DAC/AMP and Sound Card Combo Question

    Okay, so I did some additional research and discovered the reason I really like my Sound Blaster Z is BECAUSE of the DSP it offers. I am quite newbish when it comes to these things, so the features and hardware that increases (or distorts to some audiophiles I am sure) the quality of the sound...

    DAC/AMP and Sound Card Combo Question

    Yes, I wouldn't be able to use the A50 mix amp for it unless I had a sound card with Dolby Digital Live which is where the SBZ comes into play. I run the card's optical out to the headphone's mix amp. I am thinking about running the sound card out to the mix amp and the mix amp out to the...
