Hi Sir Kit, can i ask you a few question  :-\

i got a Bass Guitar, a Laptop which is a Sony Vaio on 64bit with sub-woofer and speakers. And I do all my bass lessons and bass playing here at home since i don't have a good sounding bass amplifier.

My Setup is Direct Input to the mic using 3.5mm jack.

Well my question is:

Every time that my guitar cable is being touched or because of my playing movements it does make scratchy sound , yes because the 3.5mm jack is not on a stable position, i mean it can be move clockwise or counterclockwise and that's the reason of the scratchy sound,   

well i'm planning to buy Behringer Guitar Link UCG102, pero pareho lang ba if compared to the 3.5mm jack?

* Guitar - Cable - 3.5mm jack - PC
* Guitar - Cable - Guitar Link - PC

gagamitin ko yung guitar link  as a 3.5mm jack (Direct Input) puwede kaya yun?  :?

kasi most of times, plug and play kasi ginagawa ko eh, plug my guitar to PC, tapos play music on Itunes then sasabayan ko nalang. Yung Guitar Link kaya? :oops: although my software na kasama yung G-Link puwede rin kaya Alt+Tab'n yun?  :-(

Naku put a tape on that mic input sa laptop mo.

Get the Behringer Guitar Link.  For your ground issues, try another cable.  Or puede rin yung jack sa bass guitar mo ang may issue.

skin is right. never EVER use the mic input unless you know exactly how pc mic inputs work. even then, NEVER EVER use it for recording. just use the damn things for those headset mics.

I always use ASIO for my drivers.  What I usually do kung may gusto akong sabayan, naka track na yung music sa DAW ko tapos sabayan ko lang.  Pero outside the DAW, wala na sound.  Sa WDM puede.

TI chipsets are the most recommended for firewire audio but others have had varying degrees of success with other chips. If it works for you, then good, but if it doesn't, make sure you can replace the card if needed.

Depends on how you configure your system.

On mine, for ex., I can keep onboard sound enabled but playing only media players such as itunes, vlc and other, but my music apps access my audio soundcard exclusively. I can play audio through both systems simultaneously ( I once had 3 separate audio cards on top of my onboard sound working at one time); and my audio interface (Emu 1820m) allows me to play asio and wdm simultaneously! How many systems can do that?  :-D

On winxp, you can set things up so that your audio interface is not mapped through the windows system so that windows sounds do not access the audio card. In win7, the equivalent is granting applications exclusive control over the device.

The only caveat is that you will need a way to route audio from the motherboard and interface into your monitoring system. One way is to use the mobo's digital output and route that into your interface's digital input if it has one. The only caveat is that samplerate is dictated by the mobo output so you might have to sync to an inferior clock. If you have a mixer or some other form of monitor matrix controller, you can route several audio sources into a single monitoring system.

hi mga sir, ask ko lang kung pwede ba to magwork para sa desktop? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I20QSQ/ref=asc_df_B000I20QSQ2101654?smid=A1QGIDACEIIO9M&tag=nextagusmp0359847-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B000I20QSQ

maraming salamat!

Why would you want a PCMCIA card on your desktop?  Why not buy a PCI card with a Firewire interface.  It's more logical.

skin is right although I've encountered instances where the audio interface itself was a pcmcia/expresscard and for portability between desktop and laptop, a pci-to-pc card adapter was used for the desktop.

a simple firewire card is better for the desktop since it lessens complexity with your system. just make sure you get the right port since FW400 and FW800 are worlds apart.

Ano ang mura sa iyo?  Behringer Guitar Link costs around 2K.  M-Audio Fast Track or Line6 UX1 costs around 5K.

But these are 1/4th plug inputs.  If you are using a desktop and you want a really cheap alternative, look for an SBlive soundcard.  It has a 1/8th line-in input.  Costs around 500 or less 2nd hand.

thank you sir! 500 is actually good. Tried to take care of the latency with the ASIO4ALL kaso wala din e.

Yup it should work. Not unless you are planning to record massive tracks.

You can always check your daw's requirements, once you hace it, its much better you can get 2 step higher so you'll have plenty of room for adjustments.

Happy recording!:)
