I have a Peavy 30 Watt Backstage, but no effects pedals or anything of that sort, so I figure i'd mess around with what the internet may have to offer digitaly as opposed to the physical [ Expensive ] effects at the local music store.  Now on back a singal Jack reads "Output" I plugged in a typical Headphone sized cable with adaptor so it fits like a typical cable. I ran the line to the Line In on my pc, showing the music sign going inward, one below from the Music out, and one above the Mic In. I plugged my guitar in, [ Ibanez Lefty SZ ] and put it into "1" --Now, do I need some special program to recognize my guitar, because neither Goldwave or Sound recorder iterpreted any noise of any sort...any suggestions? | ||

Then select "recording" and make sure the "line in" is checked and the fader is up about half way. If that doesn't do it, then the problem is either a bad cable, bad soundcard, or you don't have Gold Wave our Sound Recorder configured to recognize the line n on the sound card as a recording source.

1 posts | 14 Posted on 08/10/2006 at 08:34 Hey, Im pretty much on the same line as everone eles here. I Have a [s]line 6 Spider II 112 [/s]amp though.. and a converter(1/4-1/8). so it will not ruin anything if i plug in my adapter from my headphone jack? i dont have the amp yet.. it is shipping now.. but i cant tell if it has the effect loop:o. Do u know if it does? Im looking to start a pretty low budget recording area for me and my friend to record. THANKS!!:D | ||

5 posts | 15 Posted on 09/24/2006 at 17:32 Hello beautiful people ;P I have had this problem for a while now..which is hooking my weapon (sorry,.. guitar) straight into my PC. I was able to hook my guitar straight into my mates PC and record off audacity no problem...but when i tried it was a no go.So i ended up recording my amp with a microphone and an old tape recorder (i am finiancially disabled) so i could just hook my tape recorder to the PC to record off that..but still a no go. I have a very basic sound card "Vinyl AC'97" yet so does my mate who has no problem recording... i have the know how..but not the know how to make this happen. And if the solution is to buy another sound card..i would prefer to stick to the old distorted tape recorder. But yeah..any solutions that doesn't involve money would be mostly appreciated..alot of good tunes are dissapearing in the wind due to this wee problem..major problem actually. Cheers | ||
