Guitar -> direct to Interface or something in between for "Dry" recording ?
Hi all,
I'm sure this has been asked (quite) a few times but my searches don't land me the info I'm after.
As advertised, my Focusrite 2i4 will take instrument (guitar high z) inputs and I've been going direct in and using software for sound.
No problem.
I remember someone in a music shop telling me how they record dry guitar and they said they go through a preamp or compressor before they hit the audio interface. (Perhaps to sell more gear)
Question is, are you guys going from guitar into [something] and then into your interface? And why?
I'm not talking pedals and effects, I'm talking signal prep of the guitar to record dry to then re-amp or use software amp and cab sim.
I'm about to head into some recording and whatever I start now I'll have to repeat in the future for consistencies sake.
Your thoughts appreciated.
