I agree Bob I always record without any effects.Dry The exception to this is bass. I use the IKM interface and use AT3 in standalone mode. I record the line out of the IKM to the line in of the soundcard.Some people say "keep it digital" my opinion in this case is the output of the IKM Stealth interface IS my dry sound.Think of it as my amp in the studio. I'd always record through an amp.
