 Hey George here for NAMM 2018 for Voice Over Body Shop and we're here with our friends and audience who have been making fantastic products for recording in your home studio or on the road too and here to tell us about it is Steve. How you doing Steve? Yeah I'm very good thank you for your kind comments yeah get to see. We talked around on the internet a little bit. We have, we have, yep. Well I love your products and I know a lot about them but our viewers probably don't. Tell us how the product line goes starting with the ID for who is this good for and then what do you gain as you go up in size and price? Yeah well um we approach all our interfaces in very much the same the same way it's not like we have a cheap range and an expensive range that have um you know different level like seriously different levels of mic freeze and converters. You get three amps no matter what right? Absolutely so from ID for which is for a very you know small setup where you may just recording one microphone you've got your speakers hooked up to it you've got a pair of headphones there nice nice small compact setup bus powered so you can go out on the road with it no problem at all. Plug it in. Exactly and all the monitoring control is also on the unit you just change how much do I want to hear from my computer how much do I want to hear from the from the microphones? How about a driver do you have to install drivers or a console or? On on a Mac you just plug it in and you go on a on Windows you just download our drivers there's no control panel for it other than um azio settings and and you're done um whereas if we step up to there's actually one more product in the lineup that isn't here ID 14 um which is two mic freeze um uh and then you've got an ADAT input as well so if you're going to be recording more inputs right uh it's very expandable so if you're doing like more like a bit of a panel interview or something like that then you'll be able to get get more channels into into the device. I know this one really well because this was the first of the line wasn't it? Yeah yeah it was yeah that was the first interface that we ever did um really high quality conversion that we um got in there but it's also got um hardware inserts as well so if you like to record with a compressor uh and with eq um as you're going into the computer that allows you to commit early on and like this is your sound you know you've got it dialed in and you just record with it uh as saves you a lot of work later on. This has a console which has q-sense yes so you can do external mixes yeah if you've got some more complex setups that you want to do um you know even involving recording back in the output of your computer um you know mixed minus kind of setups uh then yeah you can absolutely do that with the the mixer that is controlled from your computer but built into the unit and then um all the monitor controller stuff that's there as well can be really helpful for quickly cutting dimmings changing speakers and things like that yeah yeah and so then this is the new one right absolutely yeah um id 44 it's the the biggest interface in our lineup um yeah four of the the audio and mic pre-s as I say the same throughout this has got the best converters a to d and d to a that we've put in any product um so it's an upgrade internally it is yeah yeah absolutely you know using the most modern chips that are available on the market um you know it's a natural success of for the id for 22 for example yeah um and it's got an extra headphone output so if you're feeding your own headphones but you also want to you've got another talent yeah talent in another room they want a slightly different mix then that's there as an option as well um let's see the back the business yeah so you also have the ability to plug in more extra uh extra mic pre-s so if you've got a rack of another eight mic pre-s you can plug them directly into one of the optical inputs there yeah you can actually do two units so you can record up to 20 inputs at one time um this has got four mic pre-amps four mic pre-s and then additional digital inputs as well yeah and that's a usb-c connection yeah it is work with usb-2 also it does yeah it comes with both a type c to type c cable for your modern uh laptops that do have type c on board but you've also got a type a to type c cable so you can plug it into um any other computer that's usb-2 yep usb-2 great and these are all available now i know these have been around is this available right um this will be available um while shipping towards the end of end of march okay beginning of april great yeah what's the price range so uh now you're challenging me on the us pricing of all these um so um id4 i think is around the uh 200 dollar mark um honestly i can't remember on id but on id 44 uh we're at six nine nine dollars um yeah amazing because i don't think this is much much uh much of a difference actually in price they're pretty no they are they're quite similar um but it's a little more for all the functionality that you get on id 44 yeah so it spans the spans the price range quite quite nicely depending on what you need for your studio yeah well steve i really appreciate your time thanks so much for talking to the pleasure thank you very much for stopping by and you this is george for nam 2018 see you at the next booth
