 With Blackstar's HT Venue Mark II more is more and there's more convenience due to the ability to record straight to your computer via USB on the back of the amplifiers and I want to show you how that works. In the past if you want a great recorded guitar tones you would normally end up going to a recording studio. The reason you would do that is because it would have sound isolation that would allow you to turn up the amp really loudly to get the best sound out of it. It would also give you access to great microphones and microphone preamps, another outboard gear that would be required for recording. But with Blackstar's HT Venue Series Mark II all that stuff is a thing of the past because now what you need is one of these amplifiers and a USB cable. It really is as easy as that. You fire up your DAW going to the preferences in the audio section. You select HT Venue as your audio interface and you're ready to go. Now what it means is with this USB out this could be your studio. For more information on the HT Venue Series Mark II amplifiers or anything else in the Blackstar world go to blackstaramps.com
