simple question...

[vondano]

i'm about to pull the trigger on a standard and was wondering how you guy monitor yourselves at home?

here is what I mean,

I plan on using it in my mesa 2:90 and mesa 4x12 cab live and at rehearsals, but I don't know yet how i will ear it at home for recording needs...

the other gear i was using to record direct in had a earphone plug, so i use to get my signal direct to my external sound card wich then goes usb into my pc,

i could monitor my sound via the earplug then,

now,

I own a mackie board wich i could use but I fear the monitoring would not be good since my mackie colors the sound has hell...

do you have any idea?

sorry about my awful english... i'm french canadian...

thanx!

It's normally best to monitor at home with what you use live so any work you do on your tones will be shared.

However, due to the power available in the Axe-FX, you can set up direct patches and non-cab patches that will sound great... but not the same (unless you have a IR made of your own cab). Your Mackie will work fine, though everything you put in your signal path colors your sound (more or less).
