Hi, hope this is not a “here we go again” question.
I am wondering if I want to record my guitars (acoustic or electric) into Reaper, do I really need a interface...eg Focusrite solo.
I have a mixer with a USB outlet and a Helicon acoustic play pedal which gives me a (I think) DI box....sorry no idea why I need one.
The mixer has buttons to give me the option to increase the gain(?) for an electric guitar if required.
Will this combination give me what Focusrite will do for me.
Then...I am guessing, this will give me options for changing sounds and effects via a VSTi out of Reaper or am I on the wrong tram.
Looking to add guitar licks etc to songs from my BiaB backing tracks.
Cheers
