How to use two ASIO inputs and MME/DirectX together?

I recently purchased Fender Mustang amp and Audio-Technica ATR2500 USB microphone to record my guitar and voice. I thought it would be an affordable choice without the need of an audio interface with other gears

My laptop has Realtek HD(For ASUS U43JC-X1), and I use Ableton Live 8.2.5.

Anybody ever use a Countryman Type 85 to record a tube amp direct?

I am curious if anyone has done this with success. I have read the manual that comes with it and it states that you can plug the speaker tap from a tube amp directly into the amp input and put the switch to "speaker" mode and it will safely record amps up to 1700w and it doesn't matter what ohm tap you use from the output transformer's secondary.

DI (Direct Injection) box quality matters!

I don't expect a big discussion here, but for the record, I was blown away by how much of a difference the quality of a DI box makes to the clarity of the audio signal. We have ProCo CB-1 DI boxes at our church and last night I took my Radial ProAV2 DI to a practice for comparison with an acoustic guitar.

Direct Injection Experiment

A direct injection box usually matches the impedance between an instrument and a recording device or soundboard. If someone plugs an instrument directly into a soundboard or recording device the signal may sound bad. Using a Soundcraft Compact mixing board with a direct injection (DI) feature, I put this theory to the test.
