Weird question but I'm wondering if this is possible. I think it makes sense, but I'm not sure about all the impedences and signal strength issues.
So here's the idea: I looking into getting Logic Pro 9 for my macbook pro, which includes an awesome guitar section in Mainstage 2 with 25 amps and a huge array of effects, yadayada...
but I'm wondering if I can route my preamp signal from my Cornford through Mainstage 2 then back out to my fx return, essentially using Mainstage 2 in my laptop as an fx processor.
So my signal chain would likely look like this:
Guitar>EB Vol>Wah>BB preamp>Cornford Mk50H>FX send to Apogee ONE input>Mainstage 2 in Macbook>Apogee ONE output>Cornford FX return
I sort of landed here thinking how to consolidate purchases as I've been looking at multi fx units to run in my loop, most notably the G system or Nova System. But I've also been looking at Logic. I'm hoping I can kill two birds with one stone, plus gain the added flexibility of being able to play live with just my laptop as well (small stuff and church gigs) where taking the whole rig is just not going to happen. Adding a midi floor controller would give me control over all of it as well, plus all the looping capabilities.
Any got any input as to why this wouldn't be possible???
