Direct Box For Recording? Options

[Todd Simpson]

Special thanks to SLAVENKO for pointing out this new DIRECT BOX to me. These are about 40 euro and just came out from Behringer. They make less expensive yet functional gear. It's not high end but it's not pricey either.

Some folks tell me that when they are trying to use Amplitude or Guitar Rig that they can't get enough signal in to their system without compromising tone/hiss etc.

The way I get around this (A MILLION WAYS TO SKIN A CAT FOLKS) is by using a direct box. The box puts 20 db of gain on the signal so I can use a fader on my mixing board to pull down the level instead of pushing it up and it helps me a lot. IT's not for everyone or everything and it is NOT A TUBE INTERFACE but it's cheap and more than up to home recording and can help cure some common issues.

Disclaimers finally over whew!

Anyhoo, here is the link and info. This thing is not only a direct box but also does AMP EMULATION. It's NOT A RECORDING INTERFACE it's a DIRECT BOX (Google is your friend) but in short it does not have USB/firewire, it's just something that goes in the signal chain before your recording interface.

Secondary disclaimers over whew! ( I can almost read responses to posts in my head as I write the initial post these days, thus the disclaimers to just save having to repost in response to expected responses)
