recording guitar on PT - Hep !

[Jaeyoung]

Hi, i have a quick question for yall.

when trying to record, what is proper/preferred setup ?
1. Aux track -> bus -> Audio track,

or

2. Straight into Audio track.

1st option lets me to put amp sim before recording, which in the end kinda take the cpu load off afterward. 2nd option lets me to be able to reamp. i guess.

Thanks!

What Pro Tools and what interface?

Having the tone right while you play is critical, but adding a bunch of latency by making the computer do what you should be doing with pedals, an amp and a mic seems like the hard way. If you can't have an amp then a Pod-type amp simulator is the way to go.
