Alright, as long as your happy with your latency situation, then go for it. I wouldn't rely on software for guitar tone but maybe thats a reflection on the amount of latency I get
If your buying an audio interface by the way, you can avoid the DI by getting one with instrument inputs.

yeah, i mean if you already have a few stompboxes or at least a hardware multi-effects processor (thus making guitar rig unnecessary) and a decent amp, you might as well just plug your speaker out from your amp into the line in of a decent external soundcard. problem solved. also prevents having latency headaches with software..

Yo my marshall amp has an emulated line out. I'm thinking of buying a decent audio interface... and runing the line from the guitar into the amp, then out through the line out, into the instrument input of the audio interface...

right now I'm pluggin in directly from the emulated line out to the input of my laptop and checking the tone on voxengo span...Its pretty evenly distributed except theres a roll off at about 5 khz. Is that normal or just the effect of not having an audio interface? Will the audio interface bring out clarity??? I'm kinda confused. I don't want to shell out a lot of cash if it isn't gonna make any difference.

Are those eq slopes at 60 hz and 5 khz normal?

sounds about right, don't know shit about eq slopes, but i would switch it to a different pickup so you don't get all that feedback.

I got a m-audio fast track audio interface today.... Real entry level stuff but I'm a student so I need something to tide me over for a bit.

Haven't put my amp through it yet but I'm pretty pleased with the clarity I'm getting putting my guitar through it.. The level could be a little higher but I'm sure my amp can will bring the level up to par.

Thanks guys.
