Brian Hunsaker Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Hi, I am having trouble getting any audio sent to the line outputs of my Audient id44. I assign a bus to output to "Audio USB Audio ASIO Analog 3", but I hear nothing coming out when I plug a 1/4" cable from 3L or 4R into my external preamp (I'm trying to re-amp dry guitar tracks through my Axe-Fx). There's no signal coming in. I also don't know why Cakewalk shows 4 pairs of analog output drivers for the Audient when there only appears to be 2 pairs on the back of the unit (1&2, 3&4). Now I haven't changed any settings in the "ID" software, which I think I may need to. But I'm not sure why I would need to use that. I had no use for that type of software before with my MOTU Traveler and was able to re-amp just using Sonar and not touching the MOTU control window. I've read the "ID Software Documentation" but I'm sorry to say it's greek to me on how to do this. I saw a reply on a similar thread that said "The way you would go about this is to first route outputs 1+2 to DAW THRU from the iD MIxer application." - which I don't understand but Audient owners may. Any takers? I hear it's a crazy popular unit so I think a bunch of users here may have done this already. P.S. I did an A/B on the preamps/convertors vs my MOTU and it was night and day, like removing a sheet from the singers head. I did send a message to Audient support but I figure this may be quicker. They took 5 days to get back to me last time. -Brian Edited February 16, 2021 by Brian Hunsaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwise Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I have ID44 and was able to use it for reamping. 28 minutes ago, Brian Hunsaker said: Now I haven't changed any settings in the "ID" software, which I think I may need to. You surely do. Try this first and let us know if it helps. https://www.gearslutz.com/board/low-end-theory/1267458-reamp-audient-id44.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Hunsaker Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks Soundwise, I did find this thread. I just wish it had some screenshots of what they are referring to in the Id app. I'll poke around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwise Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 ID44 isnt' easy to configure for reamping and loopback. When it's set and starts working I tend to forget how it was done. I wish they had user presets, like Focusrite interfaces do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gswitz Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 to eliminate external dependencies, literally loop it back to the interface and see if you see the signal coming back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thought. To make sure of that, I just placed my finger on the end of the cable normally coming from the Audient and made sure the buzz registered on the Axe-Fx Edited February 17, 2021 by Brian Hunsaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't seen the routing matrix screen before hiding there with "DAW Thru" buttons. That did it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
