have heart Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 What You NeedAcoustic:You can record acoustic two ways. You can use a mic to mic the guitar and then run it into your computer through the line out. To do this you will need a mic. and a 1/4 to 1/8 piece which you can pick up at Radio Shack and a program. I suggest Cool Edit Pro which I find easiest for me but their are tons of others. Or if you have an electric acoustic just plug the acoustic in through the line out like before.Electric:Their are many ways you could record an electric guitar. You could go from your amp into pedals to a mixer. Straight from your pedal to the computer.Mic the amp. It's really your choice on how you like the sound and what you find gets the best sound.Basic Stuff To Record-A Mic (Shure SM48) 99$ Good quality to start messing around with-A 1/4 to 1/8 Piece 2-3$-Your Guitar Once you get more into it their are plenty of our options.Digital which I havent ever used but throwing a mixer into the picture as well as higher quality pedals and mics will help. As well as a mic preamp.THANKS TO HYLERWell' date=' usually I would get technical here, start talking about frequencies, what to run, how to interface with your computer to get the best sound, etc.But here instead of explaining why, I will just give the bare minimum to achieve a record quality tone, you can research them on your own if you like.24/96 InterfaceMic For Acoustic (never record your acoustic using a pickup even if it's built in, preferebly a sensitive mic with a large interval of frequency range. I use an MXL Condensor)DI For Electric along with a Mic Modeling program, or run a raw direct signal into your PC and use a VST such as Native Instruments Guitar Rig or Amplitube.That's not asking too much. And please do not record using your amp and a mic. I'm getting so sick of hearing those failed tones. Most people cannot properly do this. They may even have a good amp, as well as a sufficient mic, but they never take room size, mic placement, post mic preamp, or VST adjustments into consideration when they do it, and they always end up sounding horrible.[/quote']Sorry to ask if its obvious but what is a 1/4 to 1/8 piece Quote
steve jerbs Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 also, what's a recording/mixing program for windows thats compatible with a toneport other than ableton live? Quote
steve jerbs Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 yeah im trying to find a program cause i dont really like ableton live, and im tryin to find out other good ones Quote
ChrisisHere Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I use audicity. It's an okay program. I use this because i don't have a sound card. I'm not even sure what that does. I take a wire from my laptop and plug in into the microphone input of my amp. Does anybody recommend any better programs for this method? Quote
steve jerbs Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 yeah, i dunno if i have a sound card.... but i dont think i like ableton live so i need another program for just recording and mixing/mastering guitar Quote
ChrisisHere Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Get audicity its pretty good and easy to use. A lot of the other programs are so compliceted to use and have so many different options. This one is simple. The thing is you have to plug it from the headphone jack of the amp to the laptop for the best sound. Quote

The thing is you have to plug it from the headphone jack of the amp to the laptop for the best sound. thats what me and my band do, but we used Kristal to record on, its soo good, simple to use and best of all freeware Quote
steve jerbs Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 ok one more thing... My amp (Peavey Bandit 112) doesnt have a headphone jack, but it does have a pre amp out plug, so i plugged one end of my cable in there and plugged the other end into my toneport, but now i dont know how to record it onto my computer. (I'm assuming i dont need gearbox now) I went onto ableton live and tried to record with it, but its not getting any signal from my amp.... so any help? Quote
steve jerbs Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 ok, so i tried that, and it kinda worked, but the sound was kinda silent and kept fading in and out ... so is there any way i could just get the sound straight from my amp? Quote
steve jerbs Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 hmm well i thought i could use the pre amp in my amp... oh well ill figure out something Quote
Guest Mard Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Basically any recording software will work with Toneports.A 24/96 interface converts a guitar signal (24hz) to a signal recording software can understand (96hz)' date=' I think. I'm probably wrong though.[/quote']that made my head hurti'm gunna stay away from this place Quote

8 Ball Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Simple, it's the rate of the A/D (or DD) audio conversion. Bit and sample are what the two different numbers represent. Anything >= 96hz is considered high definition. The lowest quality you can really go with having enough headroom for a good recording would be around 16bits and 44.1hz (And no, bit is not short for byte just in case people are thinking as much).

AlkalineMarc Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Im plugging my guitar directy to my mixer, the mixer is going to my computer, im hearing a hiss noise, on my recordings, how can i get rid of those to get nice recordings, does the guitar need to be preamplified then put into the mixer? Quote
AlkalineMarc Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Hi, im currently using Nuendo to record, does anyone know the name of the effect that would make the voice sound like a radio? Quote
Mr. Jones Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Hi, im currently using Nuendo to record, does anyone know the name of the effect that would make the voice sound like a radio? if the program has an equalizer just boost treble and mids and drop bass. Quote
