Professional and multi-purpose direct injection box for stage and studio applicationsProvides impedance and signal matching for the direct connection of instruments to mixers and amplifiersConverts 2 independent unbalanced 1/4'' TRS line inputs into 2 balanced XLR outputsAdditional Split mode (channel 1 assigns signal to both XLR outputs)Ultra-flat frequency response due to servo-balanced operation
DI boxes (Direct Inject) and Isolation Transformers both are used to isolate one circuit from another. They can also change an unbalanced signal (i.e. instrument patch cord) into a balanced signal (i.e. microphone cord).
There is a transformer inside them, so that the inputs and outputs are not electrically connected to each other. This can prevent ground loops and other electrical problems.

You can buy DI boxes at any music equipment store.
I didn't even know renting was an option?
I haven't heard of that here in the UK!
I think I'm gonna just try the DI option.

yeah, you should be able to use the DAW eq, and cut the high and high-mid levels til the hum/hiss goes away a bit, then record. then after the track is recorded, take and put the highs and high-mids up again. that might do the trick.
however, an easier way to do this is to get a DI box that has a ground switch on it. the grounding in those DI boxes can really help to kill hum by creating a reverse feedback loop of the hum that will cancel out the original hum, without affecting the sound of the mic itself. so you would go mic-> DI box-> interface. you can get one pretty cheap on amazon. like 20-30 bucks for a decent one. there are other devices that can also help you out. here are some of them:

good luck!
I'd like the ability to split my guitar signal in recording and get a direct signal for post-production, along with my mic'd tracks.
If I were to use something like this Behringer DI20 ULTRA DI
Could I take one of those DI outputs direct to my interface, and use the other to connect to my amp?
Basically my gear question is should I buy that Behringer DI box or is there something else that would better serve my purpose?
Thanks!
I found this thing on Amazon, it seems to do what I want, but I'm unsure about the inputs.
