Hopefully, I ask this Q intelligently.
I have a good price on a demo Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 [MFR-Used Restock Model]
2x4 USB Audio Interface and will purchase if it will do what I think it will as explained (I hope) below.
I currently record vocalists, singer / songwriter etc. through a ART Tube MP into a Line 6 TonePort UX1 (USB 1.1 old school) with Sonar Producer 8.53. It gets 'er done. So just small time, no bands, symphonies...
I have always wanted to 1.) reamp some of my guitar tracks by bringing them out to my amp or stompboxes and back into sonar OR 2.) bring a reverb from my Lexicon hardware into Sonar in place of using sends to a convolution reverb and, if I'm correct, that isn't possible with my current setup which is 2 in, 2 out (the 2 outs going to my monitors).
Can I do these things with the Focusrite which is 2 in, 4 out? I assume so because now I have 2 extra outs (or even 4? with the 2 balanced outputs going to monitors leaving 4 unbalanced outs?) to play with.
Or are these techniques accomplished some other way?
Thanks much!
