Yes, very helpful, I hadn't thought of plugging the guitar into the interface and essentially doing the same path for reamping as I would for a live take (i.e. record DI in interface and always use the AES for Input 1 as well as Output 1). Before, I'd have to do 1 channel for the DI signal, and another stereo channel for the ouptut, which of course woudln't work in 1 AES output.
Question, however. If the AXE has good converters, and your interface has good converters, why DOESN'T the analog route work form a fidelity perspective? (of course, there is more delay due to the additional D/A and A/D) but why the fidelity problems?
Thanks
