I have been trying to record guitars direct into my interface lately (MOTU 4Pre) yet the guitar signals are extremely hot, even with the trim knobs all the way down. I am not able to activate the pads on the interface when I am recording DI, so I was wondering some things:
1. Will running the guitar through a DI Box help in making the signal more controllable on the interface/be less likely to clip?
2. If so, what would be the best kind of DI box to get for this situation? I know there are so many out there....
Note: not all guitars I have tried clip, but one of them was clipping often and the other two I tried were pretty close.
