Basilisk1 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hey guys, So I'm very interested in buying an Amplifi 75, usually you can see the setup options on the site but couldn't find it. Is it actually possible to record guitar on your computer with the Amplifi? Like a direct input or whatever. It would be perfect to practise on this amp and to record as well so I can keep the same tones. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecozzi Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hello, Currently, this feature is not available on AMPLIFi 75. The new AMPLIFi TT, however, can do it. AMPLIFi TT http://line6.com/amplifi-tt-desktop-guitar-amp/ Line 6 developed a site called "Idea Scale" where users can request such features. Line 6 is aware that people are asking for this feature. Feel free to vote this idea up using this link: http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Recording-Capability-for-AMPLIFi/580597-23508 If you wish to record the sound coming from your AMPLIFi 75... Connect the headphone(stereo) output from the back of the cab into an audio interface. Currently, it's the only way to record. Unless you want to mic up the cab, but I know that's not what you prefer to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm disappointed to say the least, but I'm glad I don't have t return one since I saw this thread before I bought one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 So glad I saw this thread before I went out and bought one. Wow, this is a definite deal breaker. I was trying to decide between the 75 and the 150. I'm disappointed to say the least, but at least the decision is made for me. I have to say it's puzzling to me why that would be omitted on all of the Amplifi products except the TT. Just note that they haven't said that won't be adding it to the other models.

RTL44 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Just note that they haven't said that won't be adding it to the other models. That may be, but I'm not going to buy a product on the "chance' that they may add that capability. I've had my Vetta II forever and wanted something newer and lighter, but I definitely want direct USB recording capabilities. Thanks though for the response.

evh1972 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I own the Amplifi 75 and want to do some recording on my PC. I am wondering if I should go out and get the Amplifi TT. Or another option just use my Amplifi 75 ( outputting via the headphone ) and purchase something like the Focusrite scarlett 2i2 ? Is there any reduction in quality when recording if I use the headphone out ( to the Focusrite ) vs a dedicated line out ( or ideally connecting to the PC directly via USB ) ?

Technically, yes there is a slight reduction. But if you have everything set up correctly, you would be hard pressed to notice it, especially in the final mix.

evh1972 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 This is awesome. However, I noticed that it seems to be making a popping sound every now and then. Any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 This is awesome. However, I noticed that it seems to be making a popping sound every now and then. Any ideas ? Pops can happen for a lot of different reasons. You may need to adjust the buffer size, or they can be a symptom of a conflict with other hardware. On my laptop, for example, I always disable the internal soundcard in the Device Manager and turn of my network adapter. Those seem to be common sources of issues with USB recording.

evh1972 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 That didn't seem to work. I did try some recording the other day using my old Podxt and I didn't have any noise issues. Any other ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecozzi Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Just a heads up. The update is showing up as version 2.010 on iOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthijsG Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hello, I'm bumping this topic because I have a related question. What do you need to connect your amplifi 75 to a pc? Just a plain usb a to b cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yes. Make sue to install the drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddharthgarg Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Triryche: When you say "drivers", do you mean the Amplifi Utility, or normal ASIO drivers? Are there any other Line 6 specific drivers I may have to install? I have an Amplifi 150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I was referring to the The ASIO drivers.<br /><br />I have seen some users update to FW 2.1 without installing the ASIO drivers.<br /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratplayer71 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I am also glad I found this thread, as I was going out tomorrow to buy the 75. I don't have any desire to use USB for recording. I liked how simple the XLR out ports were on previous models I owned. That's really a shame such an obvious feature was excluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
