The iconnectivity 4+ lets you route all of the outputs and inputs. It's darn handy. It has four ins and four outs that you can configure in any way you like, you can loop audio back through it as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D41i6EWfqs these days these are so far better than ten years ago, that being said I would try to find one that has 4 outputs , for future routing options for not having to buy another one , for instance you could re-amp your signal while mixing in stereo

First of all congrats on the graduation I don't recommend consoles as to be honest unless high-end they don't contribute to tone, take too much space and might even be more noisy due to the extra internal components. Soundcard brands you listed are fine, I don't see driver problems as often I did compared to the past with popular soundcards. You can also check Audient as supposedly it has a touch better di sound but I have no experience. I never used Audacity but if its limited in any way compared to reaper I wouldn't waste time on it. You may not need all reaper features today but as you progress and have bigger expectations in the future, not needing to learn a new DAW will be a huge comfort. these days these are so far better than ten years ago, that being said I would try to find one that has 4 outputs , for future routing options for not having to buy another one , for instance you could re-amp your signal while mixing in stereo The iconnectivity 4+ lets you route all of the outputs and inputs.

It seems that going for just a mic isn't the best way out, so maybe in the future. I'll forfeit my analogue pride for now and get the DI box. Focusrite 2i2 3Gen. seems a good choice. I've watched a few tests, etc. and Steinberg has the loudest noise level out of the three. Prosonus seems to have less headroom than others. Scarlett has no MIDI ports but I'll worry about it when I get a proper keyboard. I just have one more question: can you plug a signal chain from the guitar, through preamp section and stompboxes into the interface? -------------------- |

Pedals work fine, preamps though will need poweramp sim.s or they'll sound very weak.

these days yeah They are called "controllers" as it's just a midi keyboard that uses the computer for all of it's sounds. You can get wads of free sounds and sound banks. You can get a 49 key midi controller for $63 from thomann
https://m.thomannmusic.com/alesis_q49.htm?o...arch=1573513923 here is the free version of SAMPLE TANK which will get you started with keyboard sounds https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/sampletankcs/ So recording with a MIDI keyboard (that's what I want to get) is done directly in DAW then? That's one less worry, then

I will most likely get a 49 keys version, so I'd record bit by bit and put the pieces together. -------------------- |
