Guitar - Computer

#

Started by msd in Musicians (Gear, Tabs & Lyrics)

I’ll be getting my electric guitar back in September. I can’t play it, but I would like to know if it’s possible to connect it to a PC (I only have a laptop) and record it? Is it possible, and what hardware/programs do you need? Thanks.

Yeah - I used to run a lead from the guitar into an fx unit, then from fx unit into the line in on the pc.

I used to use Cubase to record (but that was like 6-7 years ago - so i dont know if that is still the best software for recording), you could set a click track and even program drumtracks.

This is a minefield, believe me so i’d recommend you try a plug in like the Line 6 Toneport, its good for beginners and you can get pro sounding demos out of it! Then all you need is some software, cubase is still good but theres also ableton, reason, sonar that are pretty good

Matter of fact, have a listen to my attempts (shameless plug!) - http://www.myspace.com/jonfmusic

I use a Tascam US-144 for the input and record straight into Adobe Audition.

I used the Sonar 6 hone studio programme, pretty good it was too. These days i use a Boss BR600 Digital Recorder though, and export tracks to the pc.
