As of late, I've been playing guitar more through amp sims on my laptop. Through some recordings and general playing, I've noted that even though my tone with the sims is realistic, I know it can be better. The main thing I think is causing this is my signal that I am feeding into the laptop. Specifically, I am connecting direct to the laptop's line in from my Boss Gt8 processor, which is the source of the distortion I am using, rather than a distortion simulator.
And so, I'm looking into purchasing an audio interface (like one in the link below) where I can exclusively use guitar cables (for more proper signal transfer), plug into the interface, plug into the computer, and hopefully, get a better signal into my laptop for my amp sims to work from.
The only thing is that I'm seeing that most of these interfaces that I am looking at were designed just for a guitar to be connected directly into the interface (rather than a through a processor or dist. pedal then into the interface).
So my question is to anyone that has used interfaces like this in the past while recording. Is it possible to send a distorted signal from a processor into the interface and acheive a good quality signal, or are the units really only designed for capturing a directly connected guitar sound?
Sorry for the long post, just want to be sure that I explain my situation thoroughly
