QUOTE (Adam M @ Nov 26 2018, 10:14 PM)  Thank you for clearing that up for me. I suppose that settles all doubts I had. Scarlett it is, then  Glad to be of help. I have limited knowledge with recording but I do have a lot of experience with trying lots of different things in the early stages. The issue with using a mic is you'll be forever looking for the sweet spot regarding position, you'll spend more time trying to find that than playing your guitar. You'll have enough on your plate working out Reaper and Scarlett Mix Control. Maybe try a mic at a later date. Always remember there are a lot of HotKey settings in Reaper that are very useful, you can leave that for a while though but, when you start to think, "I wish I could do.........." you probably can in Reaper, it's very customisable and the Cockos Reaper forum as well as here is the place to go. Enjoy learning it all. but I did speak a lot with the lads here when I was setting up my home recording, I wanted two mics, direct wet and dry recording, reamping etc. DOn't do that, take small steps just be sure to get the right interface to suit future needs. I use the 1st gen 818i8, I have my Helix L/R xlrs going into it and straight out of the speakers and I record direct using the USB allowing wet and dry and reamping. This way I get zero latency because I direct feed to my speakers from the Helix. Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

If you have a bit more money to spend. I would recommend UAD Arrow audio interface. The sound that comes out from this little beast is a whole new level when compared to Scarlet. Scarlet is awesome but it doesn't give you that "real" feel and dynamics like Arrow does. Another good thing is that it comes with tons of plugins. Marshall Plexi, Fender Tweed and many more.
So, I would recommend to check it out (i'm not affiliated with them in any way, just sharing good stuff). I'm also seeing it listed #1 on many audio interface reviews, like this one https://guitargeary.com/best-audio-interfaces-guitar/ |

The UA is a great device to be sure. It's about double the price though. For those who don't know about the UA devices, they use internal hardware to run plugins that only work with a UA accellerator device like this one attached to your system. The plugins sound amazing. I'd say they sound better than just about any plugins I've ever heard. However, one is tied to the platform as the plugins require the hardware so it's something to keep in mind. Also, the cost difference is not slight. For someone getting their first interface, it may be a bit much. Still, in the end it comes down to the user. If you get one of these, and don't like it, or don't like the scarlett you can always return it and get something else. Just buy it new and get it from a vendor who does returns.

I'm on a tight budget currently. I might have to replace nut in my Avion and few other things stacked up. As far as I know, it will be good enough for me. But if I decide for upgrade in few years, I'll keep my eyes on Arrow
