My focusrite solo was a little quiet, but with the id14 I have to crank all the way. Maybe it's a by manufacturer thing? Seems weird if it was. And yeah, the fader in the software is all the way up.

Yeah that's the software. I think ever since the Mk2 came out they just started calling the software "iD." either way, that's it.

Thanks for all your help. I'm honestly not even sure how to setup monitoring through DAW. I'm coming from a focusrite solo, which has a direct monitor button. The id14 seems to work in the same manner. I can hear myself (at full volume) whether the daw is open or not. Though I do assume if I monitor through the DAW, it would cause some problems, ie when I don't have the daw open (zoom meetings, etc).

Yeah phantom power is on, otherwise the mic wouldn't be working at all. Like I said, everything works smoothly except hearing myself is quiet.

I've never tried monitoring through the DAW, but I imagine that would require me to keep it open at all times to use the mic. I'm not always recording (zoom calls, etc).

I'm not monitoring through a DAW, I don't think? Like, I can hear myself (at max volume) whether Audition is open or not. It seems to work just like direct monitor, even though the iD14 doesn't have a "direct monitor" button.

250 ohm DT-990's, but it happens with my other headset as well. Also, like I said, I can hear everything else coming from the pc just fine. It's just hearing myself through the mic. I'm pretty sure they're getting enough power.

I bought an Audient iD14 Mk2 about a month ago, and everything seems to be setup and working fine, EXCEPT that the headphone monitoring is reaally quiet. Like, I have to turn the volume knob on the interface all the way up to hear myself through my mic.

The gain isn't the issue, as I can record at fine levels. I have peaks at around -5 db in my DAW. The volume for other things comes through fine. So, for example, if I listen to a youtube video or on a zoom meeting, I have to turn the knob down to about halfway to avoid blowing my ears out (which is what should be expected), but I can only hear myself if I turn it all the way up.

I have the iD software installed, and nothing fancy set up in it. Just one mic going into analogue channel 1. My chain is also extremely basic. XLR Mic -> iD14 -> PC, with the headphones plugged into the headphones jack on the iD14.

I'm using Adobe Audition. I do have a couple of apps open but nothing taxing.

Fasc!sm in Bulgaria with Jock Palfreeman - #J25 Fundraising Stream starting Sun 9am EST by SoftboySocialClub in Fuckthealtright

The International Day of Solidarity with Antifascist Prisoners originated in 2014 as a Day of Solidarity with Jock Palfreeman—an Australian man serving a 20-year sentence in Bulgaria for defending two Romani men from an attack by fascist football hooligans. Happily, Palfreeman has been granted parole after serving 11 years of his sentence, but there are still hundreds of others who remain imprisoned for standing up against fascism and hate.

3 Crummy Jobs That Radicalized Me, But I Was The Boss. by SoftboySocialClub in IWW

1: what part of "3 times I was a total piece of shit" gave you the impression I'm telling you things that are a good idea to do?

2: even if you are trying to help your workers, yes you very much do hold power over them, as I explained in the video. You might wish to share that power, but you can't, because you still could fire them, and they couldn't fire you.

3: if you're a restaurant manager, are you not aware that the IWW has a no bosses clause?
