[Torpedo Live] Wet & Dry signal output at once?

Hi,

Can the Torpedo Live output signals with and without cab sims at once?
I'd prefer to have both, so I can have the direct tone from the amp for use with WOS III in my DAW,
but I want the Torpedo Live for tracking andmonitoring with a cab sim. I want to be able to use direct monitoring on my interface and not have the signal go through the DAW first (too much latency).

Is this possible? I read that with the SPDIF outputs I can have both signals, but I already have a lot of projects in 44.1 kHz and work with other people running their projects in 44.1, so I really don't want to change to 48 kHz.

How does the headphone out behave if I set the SPDIF to dry/wet? According to the update anouncement the line out emits a dry signal in this case. Is the headphone out wet? I could run this to an input on the interface for monitoring then.

Sorry, too many questions :D
Thank you very much! :)

p.s. wos III takes almost one whole minute to load on my new system, would this be faster if I downloaded the licence to my computer?
 
***deleted incorrect info**** :bash:

You could also plug the spdif into something you're not using with digital in and use that for d/a and monitoring while running the Torpedo line dry to DAW. In this case, the clock and sample rate won't matter. Maybe a dat machine or reverb could be used.

Not sure about the loading time issue, perhaps try the help desk at Two Notes
 
it is current, I need to check that with Guillaume because if so, my suggestion will not work

On S/PDIF you can have DRY and WET at the same time, on two separate channels.

Line and Headphones will output the same signal, either Wet or Dry, depending on the settings. The FAQ article is accurate. ;)

You are right, but you can track at 48KHz then convert it to 44KHz. Most sequencers have proper sample rate converters nowadays. On some of them, like Reaper, you can mix whatever sample rates you want between the tracks, the sample rate you set is the recording SR and playing SR, and all the different SR tracks are converted on the fly.

To me, the best would be to use S/PDIF to record and listen to the WET through headphones on the Live.
 
Ooops, I am sorry to have given false information, if I was you your shoes, I'd grab one of those cheap spdif to analog converters off ebay that people use with their Apple TV's (typically $8-$15 + shipping).... you can also get the same guts in a nice brushed aluminum housing for $599 if you like.

Assign dry to the line to DAW and monitor off the wet side of the spdif converter
 
Ok, thank you very much for the info!
I think I'm thinking way too much into this. e.g. that 48 -> 44.1 downsampling will affect the sound quality, though I know that I won't be able to hear the difference anyway ^^
I want to monitor through the interface, so I guess I'll have to record at 48 and export at 44.1 or use the spdif to analog converter and simply record straight to 44.1 as the wet signal will be for monitoring only anyway. Thanks guys, very helpful!
