What is the best way to reduce it?



I prefer to run my amp direct into the interface. My interface echos the audio input to the monitors so I can hear the amp in my studio speakers. If a mic is plugged in.... it will feedback so I shut off the speakers and monitor with cans.

I too, prefer to not wear cans while playing the guitar. So the echo input works well for me. The only reason I would mic an amp would be if I needed to use an amp that has no line out or I'm lacking a DI box.

That's my solution. Put the guitar amp directly into the interface and monitor it live. When I hit play or record.... I hear the tracks and the guitar and I'm able to record the guitar in that manner without cans.


Line outs sound like crap.
