What is the best way to record a guitar directly to my laptop? I currently have an adapter that lets me plug into the mic input next to the headphone jack from a preamp. I was wondering if the quality would be any different if I got an adapter that was usb. Is there anything that I don't know about? (I have Sonar 8 if that makes a difference.)

Hello Everybody,

I'm seeking info and advice on how to record the chords on a steel string guitar
so that it has a very mellow sound kind of in the background (not as the main harmonic source) you can listen to what I'm trying to achieve here

This may be of interest to some, a Physically Modelled acoustic guitar in VSTi. I have used it since the free beta days.

hello,

I am trying to calculate/meter the total load I am showing the pickups, but I'm a bit confused. I have a few mods in there to alter the sound of the pickup. The pot is 500k and wired with hot lead to lug 1, lug 2 is output and lug 3 is bent back and soldered to the base. I have 333k resistor and 1000pF cap between lug 1 and lug 2. I also have a 1M resistor between lug 1 and lug 3.

I have an orignal Fender Blues Deville 1993. I really need to replace all tubes, i dont really understand what my options to choose from are? can someone help?

I did a little search on this forum and did not see many results for people's opinions of how they like to/would mike a pedal steal guitar rig. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

The high notes on bass are not as audible as the low notes and the low notes on guitar are not as audible as the high notes. What can I do to fix this? I am using reaper.

Mainly looking for tips/suggestion on mic placement, I'll be using 2 or 3 sm57's, a ksm 27, possibly some other mics...not exactly positive atm. The goal for the outcome is along the lines of For Today, I Declare War, Elysia, In The Midst Of Lions, etc..Anyone care to share their experience?

I have a guitar amplifier which I do not use, and I want to convert it into a bass combo amplifier. What if I want to switch out the guitar speaker with a bass speaker? Where would I buy one? Are there any considerations for this type of speaker transfer? If so, where can I purchase a 12 inch bass speaker? Are there any speakers which are better than others?
