| Connecting a guitar to your computer: |
| |
With a jack to mini jack
converter.
Attach a jack 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.
