Audient iD44 - Talkback

5150
In the Live Audio Preference panel you
can set an appropriate buer size (this
can be kept high if you are monitoring in-
put signals for recording via the iD mixer.
Ensure that iD44 reports as a 20-in, 24-
out device to Live.
If necessary you can limit the number of
i/o channels reported as active inputs
(from the driver) in Live by using the in-
put and output config tabs.
This is an excellent feature to help re-
duce CPU loading if all channels are not
required.
Operation with Ableton Live
Once iD44 has been successfully in-
stalled following the steps detailed after
page 6 of this manual, launch Ableton
Live and head straight to:
Live > Preferences
Here navigate to the Audio tab and make
sure that iD44 is assigned as the play-
back device.
For more information about setting up
audio i/o refer to your Ableton Live user
manuals & documentation.
Troubleshooting
• “The unit will not power on”
Double check that the 12V adaptor is
properly connected and that the regional
adaptor pins of the power supply are
fully pushed into place.
• “I get clicks and pops on DAW
playback”
This is most likely to do with setting the
buer size too low for your computer.
This can be caused by running very large
projects with a lot of plugins and virtual
instruments. Experiment with higher
buer sizes. Typically you want small
buer sizes for tracking or recording
software synths to keep the latency low.
However when mixing it is fine to set a
slightly higher buer size as latency is
not so much of a problem.
• “When I connect to my computer,
I cannot play any audio out from iD44”
Firstly double check that the USB cable
connecting iD44 to your computer is
functional and attached at both ends.
Double check that iD44 is set as the
active playback device in your DAW and
computer:
System Preferences > Sound > Output
Tab > Audient iD44 (OSX)
Control Panel > Hardware and Sound
> Sound > Manage Audio Devices >
Audient iD44 (Windows)
Launch the iD mixer application to
activate communication between your
computer and iD44. This only needs
to be done once straight after power
up. Once iD44 is set to the operational
state you desire, you can quit the iD
application and it will continue to
function as intended.
In the software mixer, locate the DAW
channels by pressing the DAW view
button and increase the level of DAW
1+2 fader.
