I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett and I want to record my guitar with both direct input and a mic in front of my amp without having to play it both seperately (because obviously you won't get the same result exactly).
We did bass that way, but unlike our bass amp, my guitar amp (Vox AC15C1) doesn't have the option to plug in a cable that you can connect to your focusrite for recording direct input while having your amp still amplify your guitar sound. The option on the bass amp is called direct output if I'm not mistaken
So now I'm wondering is it possible to do this with the focusrite inbetween? So I'm thinking something like:
- guitar goes directly in Focusrite (=> direct input recording)
- Some output from Focusrite goes to amp which amplifies the sound
- Put mic in front of amp which goes in the 2nd input from the Focusrite (=> amplified recording)
I fooled around a bit with the Focusrite with this mindset but haven't find the solution. Also a bit afraid to blow something up because of wrong usage of inputs and stuff (or is this impossible?*).
*I'm rather new to home recording, and don't know that much about power/electronics/...
