Another option for guitar-to-USB is a Line 6 GuitarPort. They sell for $99. here in the US and are made solely for converting your guitar to usb input. They also have a multitude of modeling sounds you can access through the PC. I don't think it would be suitable for mics/vocals though.]]> In The Studio larro123 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/guitar-mic-to-computer/#post-61942 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/guitar-mic-to-computer/#post-61899 Sun, 06 Jun 2004 12:53:11 +0000

We have a similar thing to RadioShack here in the UK, called Maplin Electronics. I'll ask them about the adaptor.

I had originally inteded to spend more money on this, but then I had to shell out for studio time for my band, which left me a bit out of pocket.


Thankyou for your help.


(I'll have a look at those behringer ones too, they look quite reasonable, if I can get hold of one)]]> In The Studio English one https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/guitar-mic-to-computer/#post-61871 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/guitar-mic-to-computer/#post-61674 Fri, 04 Jun 2004 02:02:14 +0000
Both have in-built preamps, mic and line in - output to sound card. They also offer phantom power for those who like condenser mics. If you want effects, front the mixer with a multi fx box like the zoom 505 (around $60)]]> In The Studio greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/guitar-mic-to-computer/#post-61674 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/guitar-mic-to-computer/#post-61672 Fri, 04 Jun 2004 01:39:21 +0000

Question is will a 1/8" plug work in a 3.5 mm jack? 1/8" is 3.175 mm, so it's a possibility. If so, that makes the first conversion. If not, I haven't found an exact adapter yet.

Here's an XLR to 1/4" with transformer (use with above to feed one channel of your PC):

If you use the XLR adapter, you may wish to add an extension cable (1/4 jack to 1/4 plug or 1/8 jack to 1/8 plug) to strain relieve your PC's jack.

You may not get good results plugging a guitar (pickup) directly into your PC. It all depends upon the impedance of your PC's mic input -- higher the better.

BTW, the USB audio converters are expensive because they essentially are entire sound cards that link via the USB port, which is a serial digital interface.]]> In The Studio gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/guitar-mic-to-computer/#post-61672 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/guitar-mic-to-computer/#post-61668 Fri, 04 Jun 2004 01:05:08 +0000
Is there anything cheaper on the market than those, I really am on a low budget here :(

I do have a sound card wit a mic input, however thats 3.5mm. I can't seem to find an adaptor to change a 1/4" to one of these smaller sockets anywhere.

By the way, a guitar cable is coaxial. I assume you meant an RCA input or something like that.]]> In The Studio paul donnelly https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/guitar-mic-to-computer/#post-61662 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/guitar-mic-to-computer/#post-61653 Thu, 03 Jun 2004 23:17:51 +0000

Note that 1/4" TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) balanced inputs/outputs are compatible with XLR using a passive cable adapter. 1/4" TRS inputs will also accept 1/4" unbalanced signals
