* Watch out for feedback loops. This typically happens when reamping. If a track in the DAW has its input and output set up incorrectly (usually the DI track), it will form a loop with the amp/modeler. Be prepared to mute your tracks or turn off your amp quickly.
* Some audio interfaces feature gain/trim adjustment, phantom power, and padding on inputs. Depending on the interface, this may distort or add noise the signal, which may make it less than ideal for capturing a DI track. Different settings may alleviate these issues. A dedicated DI box (or a different interface) may be necessary to cleanly capture DI tracks.
* Test each connection individually as you set everything up, verifying that each connection between guitar, amp/cab/mic/modeler, interface, and DAW is working instead of trying to set all of them up before testing anything. It's easy to mess one little thing up and end up with no audible signal; then it gets confusing to try to figure out what's the issue, and you end up trying random things and messing up settings that were actually correct.
