So I'm looking to start recording guitar at home. I'm starting from scratch so I could do with a little help!
I am looking at investing in a simple recording solution like the Firebox and using this with whatever software I can get my hands on (Reaper looks good). So how do I go about recording on a DI input? Presumably it goes guitar ----> amp ----> Firebox? I just connect the output from the amp to the DI input on the Firebox?
Things is in my research I've seen people mention that if you connect an amp straight into the recording interface it's gonna fry the amp and my equipment, cos it needs a "load" such a speaker cab. If I don't want to connect to a speaker cab while I record (ie use impulses to emulate whatever cab I choose) do I NEED something like a THD hot plate?
Another thing is my amp is an Orange Tiny Terror. Great amp but it has very few bells n whistles. Just one 16 ohm output and two 8 ohm. Is this gonna be OK?
I'm sorry for the completely inane questions but I'm literally clueless.
