I'd like to record some bass and guitar at home. What I have - besides instruments and combo - is MXR M80 effect/DI box. I consider buying some audio interface and mic in order to record both 'wet' and 'dry' tracks. (I guess it's all pretty obvious to you experts but as a newbie I'm trying to put everything as clear as I can). Most basic audio interfaces have low impedance XLR input and high impedance (instrument level) jack input. So, supposing I get one, what do I actually do?
a) Use my MXR as DI box and send (what I believe to be) a low impedance signal from its XLR to audio interface high impedance jack (interface's XLR is connected to the mic). Seems like I'm DI'ying the signal twice (at MXR and interface). Is it an issue or do I just manage this with proper knobs setup?
b) Keep away from MXR DI box function and buy a jack splitter.
c) Something else. I have no recording experience nor Physics degree and I might have messed up the facts.
Thanks in advance for an advice.
