Yoooo,
I moved into a new condo not too long ago and I don't know most of my neighbours that well just yet, therefore I'm not comfortable with recording my guitar work at moderate/loud volumes all day long. I am willing to record some guitar tracks with amp modeling software. Scuffham Amps - S Gear is what I just purchased. It's actually pretty good, but I'm not happy with the cabinet impulses.
So here's what I plan on doing if possible. I figured I can just direct input my guitar into my audio interface and use S Gear's amp sim and just bypass the cabinet sim until I'm happy with my takes. I did this and just like I figured, it sounded 'incomplete' without a cab. To solve this lack of tone, I would like to experiment by taking the recorded guitar track and then play it through my physical guitar cabinet and then record that as the final guitar track. I think this should give it a slightly more natural tone. This also allows me to playback/record the guitar cabinet at loud volumes at a time when I know my neighbours wont be home, very quickly, instead of doing take after take with my physical guitar amp and cab all day long.
Here's the problem and my apparent ignorance of speakers and power amps:
How do I connect my guitar cabinet to my audio interface? I have a FireStudio Project and my Mesa Boogie cab has a 16 ohm input and two 8 ohm inputs. I also have a pretty nice power amp my dad lent me for home theatres/speakers. How do I connect all these together? My biggest fear is the electrical resistance of the cab not being compatible with the AI and or PA.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
