Thank you. I think I'll pay a bit more and get Scarlett 2i2, even if it means waiting another month. It's encouraging just to hear it's popular at GMC community. Must mean it's worth its money. There's a Solo model but it has only one input and some other limitations. I may need the extra features in the future. As far as software is concerned, there are some included, some DAW too, whatever that is. I'd probably be okay with just Audacity too as long as the signal is good. Yeah, with an 2i2 just plug your guitar direct (no need for di-box) and you can practice/record with headphones when silence is needed. I assume you don't have studio monitors/speakers but they can be bought later if you get into mixing your own songs etc. It seems to come with a lot of software though I guess most you won't use. As daw, give the included one a shot (seems to be protools) but if it won't work for you we usually recommend reaper https://www.reaper.fm , its not free but the no-restriction demo lasts almost forever and it has a huge user base (some GMC'ers here too use it). |

The scarlett is a fine unit! You can download the Amplitube custom shop guitar app for free and get a few free amp models so that you can have an amp simulator that works by itself or in your daw.

I'll go with Scarlett 2i2. THR10 seems fun but with part-time job I'd have to wait too long. I'll be avoiding Line 6 then, thanks for the tip!

+1 for the Scarlett still. I have an SM57, you have to get up to at least 90db to get a good signal into your DAW. It's a difficult choice when setting up your home studio and a journey that ended up with me getting a Helix LT and recording direct.
