| Connecting a guitar to your computer: |
| |
With a phone
to mini jack converter.
Attach a phono to mini jack connector on the end of your guitar's
cable and plug it straight into the back of your computer. Your
computer's sound card will need to have a built in preamp, otherwise
you will end up with a noisy, low level signal.
With a guitar pre amplifier:
Connect a guitar to a small guitar pre amplifier, and then connect
this to the line in or microphone socket in your computer.
With a guitar interface:
Connect your guitar to an external box, which plugs into a USB or
Firewire port at the back of your computer.
With a sampling cable :
Connect a guitar to your computer with a sampling cable, that has
an Analogue to digital converter built into it, and connects directly
into a USB or Firewire port at the back of your computer.
With a guitar pedal:
You can also use a guitar pedal to connect a guitar to your computer.
A guitar pedal's output impedance is much lower than that of a guitar,
and it will amplify and reduce the impedance so that it better matches
the input impedance of the computer's line in socket, which results in
a higher signal level and less noise.
With a guitar amplifier:
Connect your guitar to a guitar amplifier, and
then connect the amplifier's line out or headphone socket to the line
in socket on your computer, using a phono to mini jack converter
cable, or you can use a phono to phono cable with a phono to mini jack
adapter attached to the end of it. You can buy the cable or adapter at an online
guitar shop.
