Alright, I don't trust the guys at Guitar Center to give me the correct info, so I wanna ask you guys who aren't trying to sell me something. I have an older Mac tower, but it should have plenty of power to just use my interface to turn it into a practice amp. I don't really care about recording and mixing, I just want a better practice amp than this crap Peavey Vypyr lol Anywho, I have some cheaper monitors that get the job done. It's a Samson Resolv set, so the woofer is a 120a and the monitors are 65a. Right now, just to have audio from the Mac for jamming over the top of whether it be a backing track, Youtube, or Guitar Pro, I have an 1/8th inch jack stereo cable leading to RCA ends to plug into the back of the woofer. Then I have RCA cables going from the woofer out to the monitors. It works just fine for what I need, but there is that godawful static from just having a crappy headphone/RCA cable going from my audio out jack on the back of the Mac. I'm really hoping using the outs on the back of the interface cleans that up.
I'm probably going to get either a 3rd gen Solo or 2i2 from the local store, as that's all they have. They have a used 3rd gen Solo so that could save me some bucks. Anyways, since they appear to have 1/4" outputs on the back, do I just need to get 2 1/4" to RCA cables to run from right out/right in and left out/left in? My math tells me that's what I should do, but I've never fooled around with recording or hooking this kind of stuff up.
