Standalone recording vs. DAW plug-in recording

Postby ayorathn » Tue Jul 28, 2020 6:20 am

Will recording using the standalone amplitube app and editing it by importing to a DAW make any difference from recording directly from the DAW using amplitube plug-in?

Hello ayorathn and welcome to the forum.

Probably not if you use the same sample rate, bit-depth etc. But if you are going to edit it in the DAW why not record it there too? There would be less file management and risk of things getting out of sync.

One major difference is if you use time based effects like delay and you want the delay time to match the tempo of your song, then the plug-in uses the tempo your DAW is set to instead of its internal timing, if you set the delay to use the host tempo.
