Hi Friends, today we have a super exciting product that i've been wanting to get my hands on for some time! Audient’s new Sono Audio Interface for guitarists! I've watched a few other reviews on this product and one thing they all have in common is they focus strictly on recording guitars, but the Sono is still an INTERFACE! So we’ve decided to push the Sono to its boundaries, of course I’m going to play Guitar, but we’re also going to record a full song using the Sono's Built-in micpres.

I won a Sono in a previous giveaway and man, the tones you get from just a DI into the cabs are the best clean ones I've heard ITB.

A really great sounding and flexible I/O. Thank you for not just concentrating on the guitar-related features, but treating it for what it is: a full I/O

Discovered this channel recently and after binging all of your videos ive already noticed a significant improvement in my mixes, thanks Warren for all the tips ! Ive been looking at an interface with nice tube/valve pre-amps and this audient might be the missing piece of the puzzle :)

Loved you guys performing & recording at the end! Great rendition!

Thx for the demo Warren and David, and of course for giving people a chance to win the Sono interface, and the pedal 😊 good luck everyone.

Cheers for the giveaway PLAP! Good luck all!

The clean and clear presentation of this video is extremely helpful in demoing this product. Thank you from a fellow Englishman.

Wonderful demo, great song choice and great tones!

Nice demo. man. I have this and it's great for recording guitar and bass, thats why i got it, the tube really does adds warmth and allows the guitar to sing when it needs. Good work on going through the Two Notes amp simulator. I wasn't too impressed with it at first as whole but the convenience is there when you need especially when you're on the move. The free installed amps it come with are basically a Fender, a Marshall and a decent bass amp with a few cabs, pretty much all you need. The only thing is I can't seem to find out is if the headphone output is good enough for my headphones. I've recently discovered I may need a headphone amplifier for my Beyerdynamic dt900 premium. I bought it a few years ago and I'm not sure if it's the 250 or 600 ohm edition. I did read somewhere that one of the Audient interfaces does have a headphone output which is designed to drive a high OHM pair of headphones but not too sure about the Audient Sono. Headphone amps are quite expensive and with that money I'd rather upgrade my speakers which I should do anyway lol.

Amazing audio interface! First of its kind - with a real tube inside! Thumbs up!

Awesome demo of a great device! Thanks! One thing that's also not cheap is the great musicians of course ;) Awesome sound on the solo! Can't imagine that's not a real amp, wow!

Hey Warren. Thanks for the great review. Thinking about getting a first audio interface for guitars and the odd synth. How do you feel the Sono compares with the ID14? Obviously with the Sono you gain all the two notes software, but do you lose anything?

Hi Warren! Love your channel! I am about to setup a home recording studio and am looking at audio interfaces. I plan to record mainly guitars, bass, vocals and program drums. How do you compare the Sono to the IK Multimedia Axe I/O, that you also favorably reviewed? Except for the expandability given with the optical input, both interfaces seem to offer cool tone shaping features for guitar players plus reamping and amp/cab simulation. I am also very interested as how the TwoNotes software compare to the Amplitube 4, tone wise. Finally, would the higher quality (I presume) of the Audient preamps over the IK ones make a real difference in recording vocals (through a condenser mic)? Thank!

Warren “I’m a secret Guitar God” Huart just taking us on a leisurely walk through the tones. Excellent playing!

Hi, thanks for nice review. Did you use any kind of noise gate during recording this video? Some reviews say that the headphone output is somehow noisy... did you also experience this while your work with Sono?

just start learning guitar again. i like this channel, lots of awesome stuff here including this demo.

@produce Like A Pro : I've got a question the valve just integrates when you were using drive on the interface or it also has effect on recording if the drive knob is zero?

O you big kid cool rock on .more cool for the studio thank you Warren .

I'm going through a very rough time, thanks for the video's Warren.

Hey Warren the preamps of Sono & id14 are similar ? Is it worth Sono over id14 ??

Looked at some reviews of this interface and ordered one today, then i found your little video, nice to see you recording some drums with it too :) Looking forward to no/little latency, its driving me nuts to always fiddle with buffers and latency when I'm doing demos at home, hopefully ill be a happy camper now xD, I have a nice old VHT preamp to stick in front of it, so there will be some nice tones to play with :D

Thank you for doing this give away that is an awesome rig sure would be different then just plugging directly in to my computer to record my guitar to my DAW

Can you daisy chain this to any interface or mixer? Also, if you can, and hook it up to something that has, say 16 tracks or more, does that mean that all 16 tracks have the tube/valve option? That would be pretty rad for being able to run a bunch of tracks through the same tube without having to buy a dozen of them.

Sono & ASP800 😍 I have iD44, those 2 are the addition I need to my jome studio... Just love Audient products...

Would you say the Revstar you are using in this video is worth purchasing? Thank you as well for the video, this is a pretty awesome interface.

Good luck, everyone!

Hi warrant can I use the asp 880 for record drum or that interface it's only an extension for a main interface or what other interface u can recommend me good quality and on that range of price thank you have a wonderful day!

Brilliant vid and kit demo thank you

Super cool, that was fun!

great review, as usual. how does this compare to the IK Multimedia AXE I/O ?

Took me a second to realize you were laying down some vox. Great voice man!!

can i hook 2 guitars and use the cab sims on 2 guitars at the same time?

Great review as always, kudos for making it a giveaway

Sono or Torpedo Cab M+? Any views on the comparison?

can you record bass and guitar simultaneously with a little effect on bass?

Great work guys so your review of this at Namm I have been eyeing it up since :)

Thank you Warren. You ROCK :)

Absolutely sensational. Hopefully they sell them into Australia. Would love to try my Doubleneck Tele into it. Thanks again for the video. Marvellous as usual. Lee

So glad that was the song after those tease riffs and glad you came in on the vocals... something about that song requires a least a hint of a British accent. You should do a mixing video with one of these demo songs.

Always nice to hear you noodling man. Strong vox too. You need to get David to add a little more balls to his voice... it will help him stand out a bit more. That's a neat little, yet robust interface. I definitely wouldn't mind adding that to my arsenal.

You get added points for playing Clapton riffs!

Nice interface ! And for guitar, drums, singer.... Good luck everyone (but I hope, I will win 😜😜). Thanks Warren for this new video on gear.

Love the Cream Cover

Hey Warren!! Those are some great sounds!!

How many asp800 can be added (you know... maybe in a one-to-another asp800 chain and then to the Sono) to a single Sono? Only one? Two? More?

Awesome review! I have a 8 channel I/O, but I struggle recording drums properly as I'm running out of channels. Is there a budget option to increase inputs?

Gret recording video! What was the mic used please?

I told you the Nobels was a great Overdrive! I still have my original after all these years and it still works after all the abuse of club gigs I have put it through! Have a great day Warren! #PLAP

hehe just dropped by to hear you play an ancient Cream song!

I love these gear reviews, so cool! I would love to see you review the new Sony C100 microphone. It is suppossed to be similar and comporable to to Sony C800G Microphone, but at a 10th of the price. Thinking of getting one, but would love your opinion on it

Sounds very nice......What voltage is the preamp tube running at though?

Loved the review loved the Sono. Thanks. How good is that Vintage/ Modern parameter ?

Great demo Warren! Do you think the valve circuit and the Two Notes software make it worth the price difference between the Sono and the iD14?

It sounds like there is a dry DI signal that bypassed the interface always coming through parallel with whatever drive setting you use. It isn't dominant, but it is there.

Awesome playing 👌🏻

I'd like to see a stereo line level input that bypasses the mic pre completely

Sunshine of your lo-oo-oo-oo-oove :))

5:41 A kind of magic!

So much fun should be prohibited by law! Love you guys!

Were the vocals recorded through the same interface through the valve?

New gear!!!! Yummy : ).

Just a simple, clever idea... 😀

WAs thinking of getting one! I don't suppose the competition is still running? haha

nice vocals Warren, don't knock your own vocal skills!

*No LSD was consumed during the making of this video 👀

Im a amp guy but send it to me ill take it and send you the recording to mix.

Yeah 🤩🎵

I bought this audio card 4-5 months ago. I am extremely disappointed from the unit and audient support. I bought this audio card in order to replace my Scarlett 2i2 1rst gen. After I bought it I re-recorded all the rhythmic guitars for 6 metal songs. After that I was trying to figure out the tone of the guitars using vst plugins. I struggled a lot because I noticed that the signal was getting dirty easily with crackles etc. I did an experiment to see if the valve preamp is noisy and the problem comes from there. Well, increasing the gain of the signal at parts where I was recording but I was not playing the guitar I expected to hear noise floor but I found sth else. Just by recording from the valve circuit and even having the output volume of the unit at 0db, I found out that in the track there was recorded whatever was playing in the background e.g. the metronome. I did the same experiment with a backing track. E.g. I have the rhythmic guitars playing and I play the solo and recording in in another track. A part of the rhythmic guitars was recorded in the solo track. It doesn’t matter if I had the volume of the backing track at 0db. This means that all my new recorded rhythmic guitars have had extra noise from the recorded metronome. Loading vst overdrives, distortion and digital amps the noise was exaggerated and I got more noise. I did the same experiment with the Line in inputs and there was not the same problem. This means that recording from the Valve input, which is why I bought the audio card, is not an option for those who want an as silent as possible DI signal. From the audient support through the email they told me that the unit must be defective and that I had to send it to my seller. My seller told me that the unit was ok and refused to do the above experiment even after I asked audient support to tell him about my problem. Audient support told the seller that everything is ok and that probably I am the one who doesn’t know how to optimize my DAW. After that I found the audient community on facebook I made a video of the experiment and asked a question there. Daniel Mills (technical support manager of Audient) answered this: “A very small amount of cross talk is expected in the valve gain due to the gain staging that is used and the fact it is an unbalanced circuit, however, this will typically be buried well in the noise floor of the input and practically inaudible under normal usage. However, if you are normalising this signal so the loudest peak is a 0dBFS then you will of cause hear this alongside the massively amplified noise floor because of the normalision.” What I did in the video was that: I recorded from the valve input to one track with the guitar plugged in but its volume at 0, while having another track and the metronome playing at the backround. I recorded silence. Then I normalized the signal and apart from noise floor you could hear the metronome and the backing track playing. This is for audient normal. But for me and my needs isn’t. This just makes my DI dirtier when I use different vst amps and overdrives. Another problem unrelated to the previous one is that when I plug an instrument to Line In 2 the leveling meters of the audio unit doesn’t respond. To this question Daniel Mills didn’t even bother to respond. Overall this audio unit sucks big time. I have the chance I would replace it with something else. Don’t buy this unit if you really need clean silent DI tracks.

Oh no ! Unable to enrol for the give away😃😃 first try for a give away and that ain't working 😃😃

Great product and geev away 😂

“Oh sorry, a tUbe” 😆

Wish I could get stuff like that, but student loan kills me

please sir give it to me 💓😍..... i really need this

Yamaha Bb 734a ❤️❤️❤️

Now, can you do "Tales of Brave Ulysses"? 😁

The hardware looks great. The software sounds pretty bad to me though.

I'm not a huge fan of the stock cabsims tbh.

Multiusable interface... Did not sound that good for gtr. What I've seen on youtube, the Mooer Preamp Live seems to have better sounds for guitar, but of course does not have all the other stuff.

Am I missing something or did the amp thing sound pretty universally horrible? Certainly not something I'd want to print as I tracked!

The vocal harmonies 🤢🥴🤒

The ambience in mono is bullshit!

Why don't you learn INDIAN CLASSICAL first. You are un- necessarily digging into the string which conveys no sense. Learn SARGAM, 38 ALANKARS, 10 THOUGHTS, 22 SHRUTIS, 10 SINGING TIPS (MURKI, TAAN, GHAMAK, TOUCH NOTES ETC.). Only then you can learn every art of emotional creation. Further learn important ragas and their Cathe.
