It took me a few minutes to find this list, but it is helpful for tuning your instruments using a tone generator found on most DAW software...

there are some different possibilities to mic a acoustic guitar.
i'm interested in how you mic guitar and what results you get?
please give me some information!

(acoustic guitar solo, acoustic guitar solo with vocals, acoustic guitar solo with band etc...)

thx

Hi all. Trying to record guitar on PC. I have a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS. I am going direct from the guitar into the soundcards 1/4" Line 2/Mic 2 input. The sound is incredibly distorted and blown out, as if the signal is too strong, no matter how far down I turn the volume on the guitar, the level on the input, etc. I went to guitar center and the guy told me I needed a Direct Box.

hi people !

Can anyone tell me what multi fx is good for metal music and is under 200$ ?

I am thinking of the Korg ax 1500 or the zoom gfx 5. Which is better or what alternatives are there ?

So I'm in a band where we like to do everything on our own. Plus I think we would be wasting money going to a studio because our drummer can't hardly make it through his part of the record process. But anyway...

direct plugin or with a mic ? Im new to this and trying to figure out which one works or sounds better to me.. Just wanted some opinions.

Hey everyone,

I'm on a gear building kick right now, and I'm going to be purchasing some components in bulk for a guitar pedal I'm re-designing and selling to some buddies of mine.

Whats youre opinion on a comp for acoustic guitar/vocals at about the 2g range?

Anyone have any experience with the Native Instruments' Guitar Rig 2?
Sounds good/bad? Does/doesn't work well with DAW?

I want to start a discussion about the ways to taking the electric guitars in a live show to the PA?

Do you mice them or DI them?
And why?

Perosnaly, i am not a PA man, but a guitarist!

And am starting to think about the sound, that my band can produce an really try to optimize it!
