recording electric guitar

[jimi]

weather with or without distortion if i like the sound coming out of the amp do i plug output of amp in recorder or guitar in recorder right away ? or a mic infront of amp and in recorder

another question if i have a recorder (digital or analog why do i need a power mixer ???? like a 10 channel 200 watt or whatever mixer ? what am i gonna use it for in the recording process


another question MIC (VOCALS) plug mic into the recoder right away ? or in reverb unit then recorder?

i guess all 3 questions are related
thanks i appreciate it
hope to hear from you soon
bye

Hi Jimi,
are you really from Egypt?

sure you could record guitar from the amp(if it has a pre amp out) or by mic, either way. They will give you different sound however.

You don't need a mixer to record directly to tape.

You may want to post on the "recording forum" for better results though, this forum is for studio building and display

Good luck
