AUDIENT EVO 4 review.
ok ive had some time now with the above.
i very much agree with the review on gearslutz.com.

my pros/cons.
PROS.
1. there is something extra to the playback sound i cant put my finger on.
its just very very good. i dont notice a massive difference tween the ur 22 dpre's i also have and the audient mic pre's. just something i cant quantify.
both pre's are good imho.
2. i really like the headphone output. lots of "oomph" for me.
3. now ive got used to it, the applet for the evo really works nice.
its a new way of working.
i'm used to "twiddling" with pre's, but in this case i dont have to press buttons manually on the unit. i just use the mouse in the applet to set what i need.
the applet sits on the taskbar.
4. the neat thing with smartgain is, in the daw, i dont have to worry bout setting mic level.
just set and forget.
5. both reaper and biab are working great with it. just have to make sure both point at the evo instead of the ur22.
6. in my opinion , for the low price, great little unit. and i hear no noise.
ive had no chance to assess the bundled software, which ive yet to dload from audient.
ALSO LET ME SAY. your getting 2 mic pre's on this unit.
they sound good from my recordings so far.
CONS.
1. because my studio computer dont see the net i had to use a second pc on the net to dload drivers and register.
then xfer drivers /install on my studio pc.
2. one has to be carefull, like lots of units, in pointing win sound at the evo device, as the default sound device
for record/playback.
i found default seemed to be set at 96khz. dunno why. so changed that to 44.1k.
3. in my case my evo needed a firmware update, so i did that on my net pc.
4. two little nits. one, if phones are plugged in, monitors are silenced.
the other nitpick is, i'm getting on my studio pc when i boot up reminder to register evo.
this is cos i didnt use my studio pc to register. no biggie. just x out.
have asked audient in email bout this.
