EVO 8 USB Audio Interface external sound card for music productions (4 in / 4 out, Smartgain, Smart Touchpoints, loopback function, 48V phantom power, 4 microphone preamps, Windows/Mac/iOS), Black

✅ What an amazing piece of kit. I bought the EVO 8 for the convenience of not always having or wanting to turn on my main mixing desk and make a big thing out of it when all I want to do it get cracking with a project, and this allows me that. I literally plug it into my MacBook Air and away we go. Smartgain is a sensational feature that I wish I had decades ago. I like to record myself playing the guitar and singing simultaneously, and the big green button cuts out any guesswork when all I want to do is just start. It listens to me play and sing for 15 seconds and then it sets the levels on all of the mics separately, so all I then have to do is click the record button, amazing, but I can change them manually if I want to, but so far I've no need because the recordings have been perfect. The software is also extremely helpful. There's not much to it, which is great! ...which then automatically routes into my DAW. You will have to assign the four inputs to the accompanying tracks, but that takes 20 seconds. Done. However, there was one issue that occurred which was instantly fixed. After unplugging the device for the very first time, the playback in my DAW was slow whereupon I was given an error message: "Error while trying to synchronise Audio and MIDI. Sample Rate 16,114 recognised. Check conflict between (your DAW name) and external device". All I did to fix the issue was plug the EVO 8 device back into the USB-C port, play the song which was normal again, and then unplug it. Done. I've not had a problem since. I don't know why this happened - it could have been me or it could have been the manufacturer (Audient), but it was a 20 second fix and it's nothing to worry about. It may not even happen to you, but it was worth my mentioning just in case. Listen, I could go on about this product for ages, but just take it from someone who has a recording studio with many toys and says that the EVO 8 is a mini-workhorse which simplifies the recording process. It has been the best £139 I have spent on recording gear. Buy it.

Boy is this good 👍. Lowest reliable latency I’ve had to date. Have previously used Presonus, Roland, Ik, focusrite. Latency down to 3m/s using Bandstand cakewalk- Asio drivers on a windows laptop. Also works even better on IPad m4 with softsynths. Just make sure to have a high power usb cable and a decent hub to power this and IPad.

Product sounds amazing and packs a lot of punch for the money. The bundled free software is actually decent and it's completely idiot proof. Only thing missing is midi!

Looks nice but auto-gain is a gimmick that i cannot use or consider viable. Two outputs are great for two sets of monitors, 4 channels for recording are useful if you want to record a small drum kit. Worst thing about this interface, is the loud pop that runs out of the speakers whenever the interface disconnects or the computer shuts down. Surge protection would make this product so much better like an on/off switch on the interface. Functions well but not as good as UAD interfaces imo.

Excellent buy. Sound and build quality are superb as is the software mixer. The only downsides are the amount of leads that can be potentially added to this fairly small unit tend to move the unit. Also be aware that although some ads state that there is a USB A to C adapter along with a male / female USB C cable, there is no A/C adapter included.

Brilliant piece of gear. Intuitive and excellent quality!

This was on at £89 briefly and was a steal! Only downside was I couldn't access any of the free programs as they were all reported as been claimed?! Asked Audient to check, months later still waiting.

Expected a lot but sadly overall the EV0 8 was disappointing. I paid £139 so my review in terms of value is based on that. Firstly the sound quality is really nice, I was more than happy with it. The problems came with the USB connection and rather cheapish (IMHO) USB lead. The USB connection of the EVO 8 wobbled (the socket) and over time became looser such that if I moved the audio interface it would drop the signal to my MAC. The device itself also felt quite plasticky and creaked a little. I imagine it’s robust plastic but it didn’t feel that great to touch for me especially compared to Arturia and Focusrite build quality in similar price ranges. The design is like a small brick and feels rather clumsy on my desk, especially moving it around. The big central dial is nice and really well placed, making for a good user experience. Sound wise, yes I liked it but it failed to function reliably over a fairly short period of time.

Habría comprado el modelo EVO 4, pero con esta tremenda oferta de Amazon no me he podido resistir a comprar el EVO 8, y lo único que me lo impedía era ver que no había un pronunciamiento claro acerca de la compatibilidad con Apple Silicon M1 y Big Sur, pero ya lo hay, es oficial y positivo. He leído infinidad de comentarios, ya cansa incluso, de que es de plástico, que pesa poco, bla, bla, bla, y sinceramente, así da gusto comprar, porque una vez que lo tengo en mis manos veo que es tremendamente sólido y con una calidad excelente, tiene un peso considerable y no se nota excesivamente ligero, se nota que está repleto de cosas buenas, y además, al menos el modelo EVO 8, tiene un peso suficiente para soportar algunos conectores XLR de metal y seguir plano, pero no es mayor problema si se inclina un poco, porque es cierto los conectores quedan a mayor altura que en otras interfaces y puede provocar que se incline. Lo pones en la mesa con plastilina o masilla pegajosa de quita y pon y problema resuelto (si es que tienes problema alguno). Sinceramente, se vé muy sólido, y el plástico de la carcasa me ha ENCANTADO, TREMENDO, GENIAL, se ve un plástico muy sólido y mate antihuellas de muy alta calidad. La principal diferencia que me hacía dudar entre el EVO 4 y el EVO 8 era la posibilidad de tener un botón dedicado para la mezcla y panning de la monitorización directa, pero es que no tengo intención de usarla, y además se puede activar igualmente a través del mezclador instalado con sus drivers. A DESTACAR: - la función loopback incorporada incluso en el modelo pequeño (EVO 4) y el número de entradas y salidas a éste precio, con ésta calidad de sonido y drivers, es sobresalliente, al igual que la calidad de los materiales - la descarga de software incluído como Cubasis LE para iPad creo que sólo está disponible para el modelo EVO 4 pero no para el 8, pero bueno, pudiendo usar Garageband, no veo necesidad - funciona perfectamente con Mac M1 y Big Sur con compatibilidad oficial recientemente pero poco difundida en su web oficial y contradictoria en algunos posts más antiguos, pero compatibilidad asegurada oficialmente desde hace unos 15 días en la web oficial aunque la página de producto no esté actualizada (los Audient iD4 y superiores ya eran compatibles) - es Class Compliant, por lo que en teoría no necesitaría ni drivers, al menos en Mac y iPad, no obstante el modelo EVO 4 tiene compatibilidad plena asegurada con iPad mientras que el EVO 8 no queda muy claro, y yo creo que más que nada se debe a la ausencia del botón dedicado para monitorización directa que no voy a usar y a otras funciones adicionales para escuchar mezclas de audio distintas en cada una de las dos tomas de auriculares - la función de Loopback creo que no es posible en iPad pero para ninguna tarjeta de sonido por lo que creo haber leído Espero que mi comentario sirva de ayuda.

取り扱いが、とても楽で持ち運びを含めてよいポイントです。 プライスと昨日のバランスが、とてもいいように思います。 素直な音も評価します。

Excellent Product.. no words.. For Professional Work. 👌

I purchased this Audient Evo 8 interface after doing a ton of research to replace my old Motu M8. This unit has some serious quality-of-life aspects worth considering. First, the build quality is excellent. The control knob is an excellent feature, allowing you to control several parameters beyond just master volume. It's very intuitive and it syncs with your DAW and OS seamlessly. Admittedly, the auto-gain feature was low on my priority list (if you know how to set gain it's a no-brainer). But it's absolutely worth considering, the ease and convenience of being able to hit one button and set levels for all channels on-the-fly is incredible! It's such a simple feature, but don't overlook it! It helps a ton to keep you focused on the creative process and less time sound designing when you're working on material. I'm a huge fan of the 1/4in guitar input on the front of the unit. It's powered by a JFET as a preamp, so gain staging is true-to-form with other high quality JFET amplifiers (think Orange amps, Quilter, etc) and in my opinion is a criminally overlooked feature. I didn't realize how much my DI tone was lacking until I plugged into the 1/4 guitar in jack and heard my guitar come to life with ease. Additionally, the headphone out's on the front of the unit are just as incredible as the 1/4in in! I'm not sure what Audient uses as a preamp, but this unit absolutely brings my high impedance headphones to life with crisp highs and articulate low-midrange. In comparison to other interfaces I've used in the past (Motu, Focusrite, M-Audio), the impression I got from Audient's entry-level Evo interface has impressed me so much that I plan on using strictly Audient interfaces from here on out. There's something about the quality of preamps that they used, coupled with the seamless integration with my various DAW's and across operating systems that makes me wish that I knew about Audient sooner. Can't recommend this product enough, for beginner and professional.

ID4 is now award winning; this one is as good; plug and play and works very intuitive; automatic gain function is awsome; many compliments for the makers!!!
