Hi.
Has anyone had any experience with the Pocket Rock-it. Want to use it to record on to my PC. It isn't a great expense but I don't want to toss money away if I don't have to.

Or is there a better way to record onto the PC outside of an external mic.
Thanks :)

I don't know what the thing costs, but I would think for a little more, you could find either a mixer (e.g. Behringer UB802) or a preamp that would give better sound quality than that.
I have a similar thing from Nobel. Whilst it's OK for sitting around and noodling, the sound quality is nothing to write home about - adequate but not inspiring.
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

Thank you for your thoughts.
I checked out the Behringer UB802 and it definately looks like a far better value in quality, quantity and price.
By the time I figure it out I might even be a decent guitar player too !!!!
Thanks again,
Mike

I wasn't real impressed with the sound of a pocketrockit. You may like the sound of it though. there are lots of options when it comes to recording. What sound are you looking for?

I was just looking for an easy way to lay down some 12 bar blues tracks so that I can solo over/with them.

The easiest would be to use a small cassette recorder, if you already don't have your guitar setup connected to a computer with recording software. A small double cassette will do sound on sound.
Put in a cassete play a rhythm, move the recorded tape to the other transport, put in a new cassete and play the first tape and record on the new second tape. it should have both rhythm and lead on the second tape when its finished.
