Hello everyone . I have many doubts with this so I will try to explain as best as possible despite my problem with language. Before I start, this is my gear :
- iMac
- Duet 2 usb and Line 6 UX8 ( both paired as a single device)
- Passive pickups
What I want is to get the best quality DI possible for reamp without level , impedance , etc. problems . What is the best way? . I have tried the following :
1. Guitar > duet line in> DAW / / / Recorded raw > out duet (set level -10) > kemper front in
2 . Guitar > kemper front in> spdif out > DAW / / / raw Recorded > kemper spdif in
3 . Guitar > kemper front in> direct out > duet line in / / / Steps 1 or 2.
This last option really generates doubts me . Many people recommend purchasing DI and reamp boxes. I do not have much knowledge about the functioning of these devices but as far as I know, the DI box function is to convert the line (instrument) signal level into another mic signal level. I have read that the kemper acts as one of these boxes thanks to direct out . This is where I do my ignorant newbie question . If I connect a TRS cable from the direct out (which would have level mic signal, isn't it?) at the duet line in , is this signal converted into a line level signal again when I record in my DAW? In short, how do I record a DI with mic level without a DI box with my kemper ? I don't know if what I'm asking is stupid and deserves a stoning , but I have a lot of confusion in my head. I hope you can help me . Thanks in advance
