recording guitar

i have a scarlett focusrite 2i2 interface for recording and i experience a little bit of latency if i'm playing while the signal is being processed (amplitube, guitarig, etc).
 
so one thing i can do to combat the latency is play through my line 6 amp and run a cable from the direct out on the amp to the interface. this is cool because i can play through the interface/monitors with no latency but i'm wondering if there is anyway to play/listen with the amp signal but record a separate clean signal so i can run it through my vst stuff later.
 
currently searching but thought i'd post, anyone in the know?

i suppose a Y cable is the easiest solution but i've read that it can lead to a weaker signal, the search continues

I haven't recorded into my PC in forever. I used to use a Behringer UCA202 usb input and a sim amp and cabs.
 
I should tinker with it again.

i don't know if it being a stereo signal would fuck it up, but have you tried running from the direct monitor output into your amp? you can plug your guitar directly into the 2i2 for a completely dry recording that you can re-amp/process after the fact, and routing from the direct monitor out into your amp should give you a zero-latency signal that you can play with the 'correct' tones to aid in actually playing.
 
i have that same interface and there's no perceptible latency on the direct monitor output.
 
edit- i think direct monitoring works regardless of which output you're using so you should be able to just run a cable from one of the line outs into your amp. i only have headphones so i can't test it but pretty sure either way should work

I plan to record into my laptop using an external soundcard. M-Audio I've been told is a really good one.
 
Any thoughts?

honestly if you're just doing home recording 4 inputs is probably major overkill. the focusrite scarlett line is great, the 2i2 has 2 hybrid XLR/line inputs and costs $150 brand new. you can get the same thing with one input for $100 if you don't foresee the need to record two signals at once

i also paid $150 for it about a month or two ago, it has since gone down to $129.99 on amazon

My recording gear never really changed. POD XT Live plugged into my PC via USB and tracks are recorded via Adobe Audition.

so i originally saw a video of a hard-on bearer recording guitar and thought he was recording a clean signal while hearing a wet signal because he mentioned processing the the signal after he was done recording. i didn't realize he was talking about just eqs and stuff like that, not reamping or amp modeling. oops :oldryan:
