Hi guys/girls,
so I'm recording at home my guitar with Cakewalk, using an Amp sim in within the DAW from Overloud.
Now I would like to use my DD-200 Boss pedal as an effect instead of the plugins within the DAW.
For convenience I would like to be able to re-amp the delay effect for the following reasons:
- The effects should sound better after distortion (amp sim in my DAW) as it is usually placed at the end of the signal chain
- If I place the delay effect before the audio interface and before getting into my daw the guitar will be recorded with the delay, not clean, this means that if I would like to change the delay settings after recording for some reason (like delay time, intensity, type or whatever) or maybe because I notice some mistake, I will need to record everything again, while if I re-amp the delay I can re-play the clean track recorded in my daw, and re-amp it back with the delay where I would be free to change the settings.
Now, I have read that instead of buying a re-amp box, I could use whatever Boss pedal (like my boss tuner for instance) as a reamp box, because apparently it has the same functionality, watch the video here:
Can you confirm this can be done?
Also, since I have an interface with only one input, it's a really basic Seinberg UR12, I would need to buy a new audio interface so that with 2 inputs/outputs I can re-amp it.
I'm just a bit struggling to understand which one would better fit for my needs.
I would like, if possible, to be able to not switch cables and do re-amping in the second step after recording, but I would like to be able to do that simultaneusly, with that I mean recording the clean track while reamping at the same time, because I would need to hear the Boss DD-200 effect while I record the track.
So based on these infos, how many output/inputs I would need to have in my audio interface?
I'm considering these 2 models, of course there is a big difference in price, so I would like to get the Focusrite 2i2, but not sure if with those 2 line outputs would be enough,
maybe I could use the headphone output to be able to listen to the track while I record, and the 2 line outputs on the back to re-amp? Or do I need to get the 4i4 Focusrite?
Please notice the delay pedal effect would be better recorded in stereo, in any case I should also consider the price difference, if it worth it.
