Newbie here!
I need to record my electric guitar onto Audacity and need some advice on audio interfaces.
I'm thinking of buying a line 6 pod HD500 and this has an audio interface on it.
Would there be any difference between an audio interface that I would buy seperately and the audio interface built into the pod?

Perfect tutorial on Micing and reamping an electric guitar!

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. It seems there are other threads of this type here, so...

I am working with a modified Yamaha Pacifica (new compliment of passive pickups and heavy gauge strings) played through a VOX VT40+ practice amplifier:

I recently bought a Shure sm57 to record my electric guitar amp. Problem is, while I am recording AND playing (so there's sound coming from the amp) there's a bzzzz when I playback what I recorded. When I stop playing (still recording) there's no buzz.
Also, when I record my own voice, there's no buzz at all.

hey guys I have recently been doing some recording at home with my line 6 Ux2, and have been struggling to get good guitar tones with my real fender/vox/orange amps, and get better tones and performances out of the line 6 amp farm direct sound.

First, a suggestion to the site mods/ admin:

Hello, quick question how do you guys normally record electric guitar? (I'm aiming for a pop punk sound.) Do you mic an amp, or do you use a VST Plugin? (If so please let me know which one.)

Hey everyone, I was just wondering, when you're recording electric guitar and you're pointing say a 57 and another mic straight at your amp, and turning it up for that nice tube breakup, does the room really matter? Are they really sensitive enough to pick up room noise or ambiance at that volume level? This has something that I have always wondered.

Hey everyone,

Usually I have recorded my electric guitars usings mics, but I had to sell my amp and my guitar to fund my new Korg SV-1 :D

Im using a fender strat with Texas special pickups, through a 1993 Fender blues Deville.. I have no preamps, just The PreSonus Firestudio interface preamps.
