shpladoink Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I am looking for the best way to get a clean signal from my guitar amp to my computer. Unfortunately, the only method of output (other than its own speaker) is a headphone out. Would it be ill-advised to plug an adaptor from the headphone jack to the line-in on my computer? Also, while I am inquiring about audio, is there any kind of software that can increase the sensitivity of the mic on my computer? When I use the same mic on my win2000 machine, it picks up a lot more sound than when plugged into either of the XP computers I have used it on. I have "microphone boost" checked, and the recording volume is all the way up. This confuses me. On all machines, the sound card was integrated with the mobo, though I don't remember the specifics of each. Could purchasing a separate sound card possibly fix this issue? Thankies ^___^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverCoat Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 You could try getting one of those Line6 PODs, though I don't know which ones [ask Taucer or somebody else who plays guitar] are the best. Since you already have a guitar amp, you could try micing it. Of course, then you'd need a SM57 and a preamp, which is probably going to cost you $200. But then again, a PODxt probably costs $300.
