Stinky Newb Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I have Adobe Audition and i was wondering how i can record a guitar without using a mic up to my amp. Is there something where i can just plug in my guitar thru my amp to my comp or something. I searched on the forums but coulndt find anything. All help is appreciated, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxious Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 im not an audio expert or even a guitar player but shouldn't you just be able to get a plug/cable at radio shack that goes down to the size for your computer input. just don't have it up too high :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 You, run it from your guitar out into your line in. If you have a Soundblaster LiveDrive, even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smithee Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 You could take a line straight from your guitar, into your line in, but you would most likely get a pretty dull sound. This is because guitars don't give out line levels signals. If you have an amp with a line Out, or even a headphone out, then you take a feed direct from that into the soundcard. If not, then you will need a special box which converts your guitar signal into a line-level signal, called a DI box. However I think your best bet is to take a level from your amp.

Erich Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Or get a live drive, :) But it's much cheaper to just get a $2 adapter from radioshak... although the recording quality is much nicer on a live drive if that means anything to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liebe Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 you can plug into your comp directly with a 1/4 inch to 1/8th adapter and use software effects to simulate guitar amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnmnky Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 (edited) Hijack alert : How can I add "fake" drum loops to vocals and guitars in Cakewalk? Or should I do the drums first then play over the top? I really mean, what software should I use? I've used fuity loops, but it seems a bit tacky.
