Guitar Help... Anyone Who Plays...

So I want to become a singer/song writer/Guitarist… So, yea… Im learning guitar now and learning really fast, and I write my own music… But I want to get a Kick As set up (recording sht), but I dont know where to start… like, I dont know what I need. Right now I have an acoustic guitar… and thats about it… so I want an Amp, Microphone, and something to record what I play and sing… So, I guess I dont need help with the Amp or the Microphone, but what about recording? What do I need fo that? Also it would be realy kool if I could use, like, a video camra of some kind to record so I can put it online… but still with good sound… so any help would be sooo apreciated (sorry cant spell) Thanks to anyone who answers!!!

Answer #1

okay. for an amp, your acoustic will have to be an electric-acoustic. You could also get like a cheap 2-channel mixer and plug it into an acoustic guitar amp that has a mic input. One channel on the mixer could be for your guitar and the other for your guitar. For recording you have a few options. You could get a cheap recording interface. I used to own a Line 6 Toneport. There really easy to use, but sometimes can screw up a recording by skipping (latency) if you dont have a good computer. With the toneport you can just hook a mic up to it using a regular XLR cable or plug your guitar straight in and record onto the computer. To record on the computer, you could get Audacity which is a free recording program (search for it on google) and it comes with some handy effects on it (reverb, speed reduction, pitch reduction, etc) or buy a recording program (Pro Tools, Cubase, etc)

As for the video thing. To get good sound you could record yourself using a webcam and the toneport at the same time so you could get a better quality sound than the camera’s mic and just sync the audio and video on windows movie maker or something.

if you need more help just let me know! im a genious on these things :)
