Hello, I'm a brand spanking new Axe Fx user and am trying to determine the best way to map the outputs for my presets. My plan right now is to use this thing for gigs and also as an interface for recording.
So for live gigs, I want to try to set up for all scenarios. Basically, some gigs will be through actual cabs, others will be sent to front of house, sometimes we might be running both. As far as I understand it, I can set different outputs, one going to my cab through a power amp that skips the cab sim, and one going through a cab sim and then out to be sent anywhere I want it. If I set up every preset I make this way, having the 2 outputs, seems like I should be prepared for all eventualities even if half the time one of the outputs isn't being used. Is there a better way to do this? Anything else I should consider?
Then for recording, looks like I can do the same kind of thing, use a preset sent out to my cab to monitor what I'm playing, then run a basically blank/bypassed line forked out of the input to an output as a DI. That way I'll have the raw track being recorded directly into my DAW (Cubase) and then hear myself through my cab and not just the monitor speakers. Again, is there a better way to do this or anything else I should consider?
I know this is pretty rudimentary stuff, there are probably already posts on it, but I gotta start somewhere.
Thank you for any input or redirects!
