    Hi guys, I have a midi studio, using studio one 8, or fender. I also have 3 guitar modellers/ multi effects, my question is "do I connect them up in mono or stereo" to my daw, the interface only has 8 line inputs, running into a PC. Any ideas

    Mono --> - Most guitar sounds are inherently mono, and many amp sounds are also widened or double-recorded later in the mix anyway. Mono saves you inputs, cables, and routing effort.

    Stereo --> If your preset contains true stereo effects, such as chorus, delay, reverb, ping-pong delay, or stereo enhancer.

    Are the guitar guitar modellers/ multi effects stereo or mono?

    Personally I'd record in stereo, convert it to mono and compair them.
    If you can't tell the differance then just record in mono because your not gaining anything by having it stereo.

    If you can hear a differance, decide which is better sounding.

    We're here for you if you want help choosing A or B when you have the 2 versions recorded.
