Hi everyone,
I've been looking at recording websites but I still have some questions though, so I thought I'd just post.
I'm going to be using my computer w/ audio software (not sure which one yet) to record. I want to be able to lay down a rhythm track w/ my guitar and later overlay it w/ a lead or something else. My budget is maybe $400-500.
It seems my options are:
1) Direct Record
2) Use a mic
From what I've read by others, it seems that most of you prefer the quality of using a mic. For the very basic stuff I want to be doing, do you think it'd be worth it to do this?
From what I understand, I can use a processor like a POD to direct record to the computer like: Guitar -> POD -> Sound Card. Is this correct or would I need something else? I can also use the POD like : Guitar->POD->Amp as well right, if I'm not recording? Also, could I use something like the BOSS GT-6 to direct record?
I'm still confused about what to do for micing.
I guess I'd go Guitar->Amp and then the Mic would pick up the sounds from the amp -> Mixer? -> Sound Card. Is this right?
Also, some of the amps I was looking at getting had an XLR output. What is this? does it have to do w/ MIDI?
so anyway, I'm looking for a reasonable solution that won't kill me in cost, but can do basically what I'm looking for.
sorry for the long post.
thanks for the help guys.
