EVO 8

Worth purchase for someone who needs 4 microphone inputs at the same time. Works fine Waveform DAW and other DAW's, but if you're using Audacity then You should change the DAW because it can record only 2 inputs at a time.. All the 4 mic inputs and loopback can be used at same time ... Compact for someone needs a portable device Some people complain about plastic build quality but it's fine, nothing to worry about.

Hindi कि अब तक का बेस्ट इंटरफ़ेस है पहले मुझे बहुत सी दिक्कत आ रही थी इंटरफ़ेस रिलेटेड बट बाद में मुझे कस्टमर सर्विस के थ्रू यह इंटर प्रेस की प्रॉब्लम सॉल्व करने में बहुत सहायता मिली मैंने आज तक इससे अच्छा इंटरफेस नहीं देखा English That is the best interface so far, first I was facing a lot of problems with interface software related but later evo support team and evo seller helped me a lot in solving the problem. I have never seen a better interface than this at this price range. One of the best sound quality at this range My rating for this interface ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just go for it ..... Thq @amazon team and @evo team for this amazing product

Great system. Sometimes it gets disconnected if a little movement is done. I tried different cables, but the result is the same. The cable provided with this is problematic in my case. Apart from this, the interface is great and the software is the best.

Received Brand new sealed product and Happy with the product. It is very compact and looks good. Easy to carry anywhere. Plus point is no separate power required for panthom power for 4 mics if we use usb c to c.

Pros 1. Plenty of inputs - 4 in total 2. Two outputs and mixes 3. Loop back and configurations. Cons 1. Mixer doesn't auto load on windows startup. 2. Dropped connections esp problematic with windows 10, 11 it's a lot more stable. 3. Due to largely software driven set up with zero knobs gain settings are alwaye a bit difficult to get to and retain. 4. No midi port 5. Found the gain almost having to go to 80% to run a AKG condensor. Not sure so I am thinking noise levels may be higher. 6. Lack of dedicated buttons comes in your way. 7. Not yet using auto gain somehow not very user friendly unless one is using all inputs or jamming. It serves the purpose. Since I am not using more than 2 inputs now, I think value will come by once I jam with others or hook up more interfaces. There are others like motu, ssl and focusrite at various price ranges, I am thinking a higher amp power etc may offer lower noise levels. So do check their reviews too.

A pair of line stereo out is not working, no damage/ no nothing. I bought this because this had 4 stereo outs which could be a benifit in live scenario. Now im even having issues in claiming warranty as the product support window doesn’t show that option and it’s been less than a year i have this.

The delivery from amazon has been perfect and item arrived in a nicely packaged box. The box has a quick start guide, USB-C to USB-C cable which is suitable only on latest Mac laptops or computers or laptops with USB-TypeC. The audio interface is designed to work with USB c computer port as mentioned in manual if you are using regular USB-A port only 2 ports you can use the Phantom power. I have tried to get started with EVO 8 on Windows 10 registered running latest software. The driver software failed using the latest version and even I tried pre-dated versions. Ran as an admin too. Looks like others also faced issued with installer getting stuck. So as per the support, unplug the device from computer and just install the software or install in safe mode. I am yet to check this. Update: So I am now able to use the latest versions of drivers on macs and windows. Installed one of the oldest versions and post that when latest version is updated it picked up and installed. When I tried on my newer macbook with latest MacOS the drivers installed fine. The device wasnt detected without the evo app installed eventhough that is mentioned in the manual. I had to install the software and restart Mac to get everything working. A thing to also note here is connection was usb-c to usb-c. I also feel that when full power usb c is used, the overall mic levels are better. I was about to return a Sennheiser E835s due to very low mic gain. Looks like it is passable now. I am getting an akg condensor and shall post the details on how it went. I then used my MacBook o install the driver. This is the first step after connecting EVO8. The latest mac driver didn't work so I had to pick an older version which installed well and opened the screen to create my account and register the device. Post this, the firmware is updated and the device is live on my MacBook. Windows is yet to be done. I have to sort the driver issue. I have connected a dynamic MIC and its showing up the levels in EVO. Set the Mac audio device for both input and output as my EVO8. Now next step is to enable monitoring via headphone for the mic voice. As of now this is not working. iTunes audio is coming in and I can hear it well in the microphone interface. So now mic also has to be looped back. Update: The mic gain control is hidden and all volumes are muted everytime you connect the device. So enable mic controls and increase the gain. I am yet to download the free software available and shall post how it goes. Cubase LE seems like a fully featured software in contrast to Protools First etc bundled with other interfaces, the protools first is discontinued as well. I have downloaded the Cubase software successfully and it looks very feature rich. You wont need anything beyond this for most of the DAW role for home studios with all the needed features for a good production. Audient has also added a training series worth $199 and I have downloaded to have watched the first session. Its decent and helpful with good advice. So far the experience has been not that great basically due to bad incompatible drivers which are not backward compatible too. Means you have to identify the right version that goes with your OS version. And so far it works on Mac that too with an older driver and not on windows. Unless you are not very technical and you are not running the latest version of OS you will have lot of issues. A device that talks about meant for beginners and quick start, this is far less than a quick start. Also I can confirm that the auto gain setting is a hit or miss. Tried with electric guitar, two dynamic mics. Summary: 1. All drivers on both mac and windows work but you have to fiddle with it. 2. Auto gain is not very useful. Doesn't work most of the time. 3. Good versions of bundled software and training material. 4. 4 combo inputs makes it versatile. 5. One dedicated instrument HiZ input to go with. 6. 2 mic outs with dedicated artist mix. 7. Not suitable if you are not very technical. 8. A good software mixer for full control. 9. Cubase LE mobile is available and is available for ipad, andrioid and ios. Says it supports EVO4, so I am hoping EVO8 also will work. Need to find the right adapter. 10. Smule / Starmaker support is yet to be checked. I am hoping it will work with the USB interface done. (While EVO 4 seems to have IOS Support the audient website says EVO8 doesn't have it).

Great Headroom with Studio Level Output. It’s a 8 channel mixer with 2 Stereo Outputs. Just go for it you want a Compact mixer at budget.
