Well I've just taken delivery of the ID4 and all I can say is wow, zero latency and amazing warmth through the Jfet DI, really solid construction, so far I'm really really impressed.
yeah that's right, one is a mic/jack input, the other a line input only, so you could record vocals and guitar at the same time on 2 seperate tracks, is that right? I went with the ID4 over the evo as it looks a little more sturdy (aluminium)
So I've pulled the trigger on the Audient ID4, my old 2i2 is playing up a bit (I think) and I fancied a change, and it would appear contrary to some reviews the ID4 has 2 inputs. The 2i2 has been a great little unit, I'm going to lend it to our guitarist (along with an old imac) so we can keep writing during lockdown. Great to hear all the different views on here.
The Akai mini play also has onboard sounds as well, although the reviews say they aint great

There's loads to choose from and I've only ever had ones by M-Audio which I've found to be pretty reliable. If I could choose again though I'd probably try and get one with full sized keys.

xlr to 1/4 inch jack sounds like the culprit (possibly), doesn't he behringer have xlr in? Or alternatively just go go bass to behringer and use amps in your DAW, the less connections, the better
I love listening to isolated bass tracks. When you hear them like this you realise that most of them aren't really too difficult or fast but in the mix they sound amazing. Even YYZ in isolation sounds (just) do-able if you put the work in, the little solo runs are even punched in!
