The ID4 only has one mic input, I think. The other is a jack input.
I went with the EVO 4 in the end. I can't fault it performance-wise, but I do miss the form factor and build quality of the Focusrite stuff.
Hmmm... I really can't equate either of the 3 post-Rog albums with anything before (not even The Final Cut). With a couple of exceptions, the songwriting just isn't there.
His last album was very well received, sold well, and he's touring massive boundary-pushing shows around the world to hundreds of thousands of fans. I'm not sure he has credibility issues (apart from with the people he jabs his pointy stick at).
I appreciate Roger is worth squillions of quid, and has made a number of silly decisions over the years, but I can understand why he's a little frustrated at the moment.
And just because, here's Roger's version of Mother, which he feels should get a mention on the official PF channels. (For bonus points, PF's touring keys player is on it, too.)
