Is there a way I can plug my guitar up to my computer and use software for creating effects + record ???

 

garageband.

 

My wifey uses this Roland U.S. - FA-66: FireWire Audio Interface and this Apple - Logic Studio - Logic Pro 8 but I'm sure that they would work for your application as well. What no more drums?

 

dude, you should get MBox 2. game over!

Did Chucksweet make the trip over from the "6"? Welcome to Sweetwater.com | Call Us @ 800 222 4700

 

I use my friend's M-Audio setup. I'll ask him what the model number is. I think I'm gonna get their JamLab thing though. It's pretty sweet.

line 6 makes a UBS interface called a guitar port or something like that. they are around $100

 

Joo nevar resp0nded to mY pM n00b!!! I imagine that you have a closet full of old and worn mixing boards that you can part with...Im not looking for a handout cuz I said Id pay (or more to the point...beg my dad to front me).

I dont beleive he did make it over...I think someone ought to send him an invite, thanks for the link too cuz I forgot all about that site.

Thanks dude that sounds like just the thing I was looking for. The idea is to be able to play at my new living quarters without needing an amp so i can play like normal but just use my headset and then also have effects available.

 

Thanks for the links. And yeah I still play drums. Just a few weeks ago my pop said to hell with our a-hole neighbors drum whenever you want before dark ...and so I have been I record the drums with just one shure 57 mic.

 

Pretty cool, I bet it costs a pretty penny, i know pro tools all by itself is expensive aint it?

The idea Im going for is just to eliminate the need for an amplifier for my guitar and record tracks stright to my pc then take the files to my parents house and record bass and rums tracks there using their setup.
