Audient has announced that Mix with the Masters, the premier professional development platform for engineers, producers and artists, has integrated the Audient iD44 audio interface into their video production workflow. The choice was driven by the need for pristine audio quality, multi-input capability and rock-solid portability to support their global masterclass delivery.

Mix with the Masters works with industry-leading figures to offer in-depth insights into the recording and mixing process. To capture their online video series - which combines spoken dialogue with stereo computer audio - Mix with the Masters required an interface with four inputs, using two Lavalier microphones for redundancy in addition to the computer playback.

The iD44, with its four Audient Class-A console mic preamps and high-performance converters, proved to be the ideal solution.

Zach Anderson from Mix with the Masters commented on the unit's seamless integration and reliability: “The iD44 works extremely well for our use case because we shoot in multiple locations and often have different engineers running audio. Portability and ease of use were essential, without compromising audio quality.”

The desktop format of the iD44 was a major advantage over a traditional rack unit, ensuring quick setup in various production environments. “The desktop format is a big advantage, and the plug and play nature of the unit makes it very reliable. Regardless of who is handling audio on a given shoot, there are no concerns about drivers or connectivity,” says Zach.

The interface has also significantly improved the efficiency of Mix with the Masters’ production process by replacing a more complex rack-mounted setup. “Previously, we used a rack unit with six inputs that required multiple drivers to be installed on the computer. That setup added complexity, took up space, and increased setup time. The iD44 removes those issues entirely and significantly reduces preparation time and stress before a shoot.”

For a platform dedicated to the highest standards of audio education, the iD44’s intuitive design also allows the whole team to operate the unit with confidence. “The unit is very intuitive. It is simple in the best sense of the word. We are comfortable having anyone run audio, knowing they can quickly understand and operate the interface without issues.”

The Audient iD44 continues to deliver professional, console-grade performance in a portable, robust desktop format, proving its value for demanding broadcast and content creation workflows where quality and speed are paramount.
