ATTENTION!! SCAM ALERT!!: There are messages with my profile picture claiming that you won an interface. These are spam bots, please do not get in contact with them! I don’t do random giveaways in the comments like this. I’m trying my best to delete the messages but it’s impossible to catch them all. Stay safe!

Correction: The dynamic range of the main out of the Babyface PRO FS is actually 125.5 dB(A) as shown in its review. The graph will be adjusted in future videos.

Always the best interface reviews on the internet! Thanks Julian for doing such Ana amazingly thorough job!

[SimonChampagne]

Your channel should really be considered a public service.

F buttons on the device are actually to pay respect when you are recording a talented musician. Numbers next to them are just your respect levels.
Jokes aside, I just got the iD14 MK2 by trusting your review and I think it worths every single cent I paid. Thank you for feeding us with some of the best audio gear reviews in the world!

Excellent video and analysis! I was especially delighted to see through hard data and graphs how the Audient ID44MKII is taking into account other interfaces that have been launched on the market lately. I sincerely thank you for your work! Keep it up!

[JuanchoHeavyMetal]

You are awesome guy, all reviews are very detail and useful.

Please compare this interface with the new EVO 16.

As always great test - only facts and measurements + the right amount of humor

[wokn_nocturama]

Wow you just keep giving. Amazing work it helps a lot. I remember back then when you started everyone had specific requests and you practically did all of them. I would absolutly love a review of the Apollo Twin or Solo to see if they are good beyond the UAD plugins. Keep going and thanks

Amazing review as usual. Julian Krause is the best thing to happen to home studio users world wide. Waiting for the EVO16 review. I have been writing on all audient post to give you both the Audient ID44 mkii and EVO16 for review. I'm glad they listened

[furiobisotti]

Usual professional level of the test. Highly appreciated.
I play live and the most needed feature for me is to set volume of two stereo outputs independently in hardware (with pots) . Only two boards are able to do that: Arturia Audiofuse and Audient Evo8. Evo 8 with one only pot but with switches to select output.
I asked several times to Audient to allow that, but until now no success.
I guess it's only me asking...

[disco_cop]

I watch all your reviews even though I don't plan to replace my interface. Says how informative and fun the videos are.

[devbrozz]

Always a great analysis. Would love to see the Audiofuse Studio on this channel! Curious to see how it stands up to others in its range.

[jakubprzybyowicz]

I've been waiting for this review so much, thanks!

[RAWQWLTY]

Would LOVE to see you cover the new Apogee Symphony Desktop and Apogee Duet 3! Love the channel. Keep up the awesome work!

[rickbiessman]

Man, I love your super informative videos with a healthy dose of bone dry humor mixed in. Could it be that you’re an engineer? 😂

[xchump]

Great idea about changing the High Pass Filter within the software! Really hope Audient picks up on that. I have the previous version and have been considering an upgrade.

I never expected to hear you say “chunky boi” in a video, but now I know I needed it all along :P

[GingerLeftyGuitar]

The last week I discovered your channel because I was researching a particular interface. I’ve watched about 10 of your reviews so far. So detailed and great to know real world specs of these interfaces. I’m interested to know, if you have a particular interface that has impressed you more than the rest?

[ClearBlueFire]

This is the best review on the internet! Thank you

[maximeheberttalbot]

Julian, you’re truly the best reviewer on youtube! I hope you’d review the arturia audiofuse studio or rev two, and the apollo twin x! Can’t chose between them and this new id44!!!
