Yes of course you can. Use the headphone out so both left and right are summed to mono. Can I hook up microphones, guitars, keyboard, etc into a audio interface (in this case presonus 1818) and use a guitar amp as a monitor?
Likewise, people ask, can an amp act as an audio interface?
An audio interface in itself cannot completely replace an amp. That’s because amps give a unique tone to a sound in a way audio interfaces alone cannot emulate. To replace an amp with an audio interface, you need an audio interface, a computer, a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), and an amp simulator plugin.
Besides, can I plug microphone into guitar amp? Microphones typically have balanced XLR outputs, while guitar amps almost always have unbalanced 1/4″ Tip-Sleeve inputs. Therefore, to connect a microphone to a guitar amplifier, we must have an adapter cable to connect the microphone to the guitar amp.
Moreover, can I plug my amp into my interface?
If the output jack is labeled line out it means it can be plugged into any line-level input, as those found in audio interfaces, so you should be safe. If your interface is “pro” grade, it can have Mic inputs and “Hi-Z” (or Instrument) inputs too, so check if it’s the case and make sure you plug into the line inputs.
Can I plug my guitar amp into my computer?
If the back of your guitar amp has a USB port like this one, you can probably use it to connect to a computer. The big advantage of connecting your guitar amp to your computer is that you can jam along and record your guitar using any tones produced by your amp.
Can I use a guitar amp as an audio interface?
Many modern guitar amplifiers are equipped with USB ports so it’s a simple case of connecting the amp to your computer via USB cable – effectively using the amp as an audio interface. The amp can be selected in your DAW preferences and you’re good to go.
Can you play a guitar through a monitor?
As long as you’re not driving the monitor’s amps into overload (most monitors have overload protection circuit, b.t.w.), it makes no difference to them, whether you play a flute, full mix or a distorted guitar through them.
Do I need amplifier for audio interface?
You don’t need a headphone amp if you have an audio interface. Generally, an interface is fine by itself as most models come with at least one headphone jack and volume control for it. But if your interface has low ohms and doesn’t provide enough gain, then getting a headphone amp is a good idea.
