hello po.. bago lang ako dito.. sana walang uminit ulo sa tanong ko..

well medyo matagal na rin ako naggigitara.. just for leisure.. ngayon naisipan ko na gusto ko irecord yung tinutugtog ko.. so eto, nagrresearch ako kung ano ba dapat ko gawin para maiconnect ko sa laptop ko yung guitar para marecord ko dun.. kasi pangit yung sound pag nirerecord ko sa built-in mic nung laptop.. then nagresearch ako.. pwede pala from guitar diretso sa mic(port) ng laptop using a cable.. pero magssuffer naman daw sa latency.. now i'm looking for the right hardware and software para magawa ko ito reducing latency.. so sana may makapagenlighten sakin.. kung pwede rin sana, yung best solution w/ cheaper expenses.. and btw i just plan on recording using my guitar.. nothing else..

edit: nakita ko mukhang ok yung line6 toneport gx.. wala nga lang ako makitang nagbebenta dito..  :|

kung mali man napagpostan ko.. please link me to the right topic to post my inquiry.. thank you po..

Just wait. These things have a way of popping up in the guitar or pro audio classifieds.

As an alternative, some M-audio interfaces also offer guitar input; JB also has the Mbox2 and Saffire interfaces which have instrument/guitar inputs. Yupangco offers Cakewalk/Roland interfaces that also have similar features.

thank you po sir.. i'll look into those you suggested.. noon i was scouting for behringer ucg102 and stealthplug.. pero nagbasabasa ko and found out a a few cons about those including noise and latency.. kaya nung nakita ko yung line6 gx.. i wanted to get myself one, pod studio or toneport.. researching really does help.. gusto ko lang maconfirm na tama yung mga naiisip ko.. kaya nagpost ako dito.. i'm new to recording..

thanks again.. :D

2 possible schools of thought, one is to mic the amp since some prefer that sound while others choose to record a clean tone and 're-amp' with either an amp sim or pass the guitar signal to a another amp whose sound they prefer.

There is a third option, and that is to do both. We sometimes do this if we like to keep our options open when it comes to guitar tone while at the same time preserving the performance at the time of recording. If there's one thing you don't like to miss, it's the perfect performance regardless of the tone since if you capture the clean tone, you can always re-amp later.

As for the multi, I guess you'll have to decide which one you like better in terms of sound.

Adobe audition is not free. Look for audacity instead.

Some multifx come with software such as guitar tracks pro.

Saw this being demoed at Yupanks a few months back. I must say I was impressed. I liked the fact that you could use the Vstudio 100 standalone.

okay so naayos ko na yung problema ko sa presonus regarding the thing that says "audio input is not activated" i just installed the new drivers for the audiobox...may bago naman akong problema ngayon... :|

hindi ko mapalabas na stereo yung input ko...it's not an issue of the panning effect of my pedals nor the jack that's plugged in to my interface or guitar..why? cos i've done it before with same setup only it was stereo...i remember i configured something in the "audio hardware setup" before that says 1S and 2S...now it's just 1S and the other one, 1M... :oops:

the weird thing was, may nagawa akong something kung saan lumipat naman yung pagiging 1-part stereo nya sa right...dati kasi nasa left then i'm just testing out some shiz dun sa audio hardware setup na yun...then baamm sound input comes in to the right which used to come in to the left channel of the stereo track... :|

i'm using adobe audition, by the way...hindi nako makarecord dahil nauubos oras at pasensya ko sa pagcconfigure...i know that my patience is long and strong but this is just getting on my nerves...i'd like to think that my excitement is a factor...so help me figure this out...cos im excited... :lol: thanks

What presonus is this?

Chances are, S=stereo and M=mono. Most semi pro gear use 1/4" inputs for their line in with maybe an XLR thrown in. I'm guessing that for stereo, you have to use 2 of the 1/4" inputs (or L/R RCA in some cases) that are assigned to 'channel 1'. The 1S/1M setting just configures the input channel for stereo or mono operation.

If things befuddle you at first, just step back and take a breather. It helps to break open the manual if the interface isn't as intuitive as it seems. (You should try the Emu interfaces... their patchmix can be daunting; almost a vertical learning curve.)

Sir kitC makikisingit lang po... Will this setup work? Guitar -> G1X -> Audio cable from G1X output to -> mic in Netbook? or should i get a DI box or external souncard instead? Thanks

@Jason - use the G1X's headphone/line out using a 1/4" to 1/8" stereo cable, and connect it to your laptop's LINE IN, not mic in, ok?

You can usually get a 1/8" to 1/8" stereo cable quite easily, just get a 1/8"-to-1/4" adapter so you can accommodate the G1X's line output.

whoah thanks sir for answering my queries. Unfortunately my netbook only accomodates 1 input (mic in) only.

Paano yun sir kung mic in lang? Balak sana magrecord ng mga simpleng tracks ng friend ko kaso mic-in lang meron yung laptop niya.
