I would like to ask if you can plug a mini-jack cable into the computer and then record what the cable transfers!
My plan: connect the electric guitar to the amplifier, plug in the amplifier and the laptop mini-jack cable and record! Is that possible? Is that synonymous with microphone?
Basically yes, but with a laptop, there could be problems again. Most have no LineIn… Mic-In is likely to oversteer or distort too much…
How can I plug in a minicink cable at Audicity?
You open Audacity.
Then you push the jack plug into the gray area of Audacity.
A hammer could be very helpful here. ).
I think you mean differently… The jack should be in the PC running Audacity.
You need to connect the line out or the headphone jack of the guitar box to the line in (blue) of the PC sound card.
Of course still the guitar stuck in the box.
You set the amplifier to very quiet (Volume to 0).
Possibly. Do you still need to activate the line-in on the PC. How to do this varies from operating system to operating system.
If you have activated it, select the line-in in Audacity.
At the bottom left, select the sample rate your operating system is set to get the best quality (higher is not always better here). If you are unsure, take 48000Hz. The quality is best when the sample rate in Audacity matches the sample rate of the sound card.
The sound options of the sound card should have at least 24 bits everywhere.
Now start the recording.
Hit the sides vigorously and slowly increase the volume on the amplifier until the recorded deflections fill approximately one quarter of the space. In no case should the rash hit the limits of the trail. If this happens, the recording is overdriven and unusable. If you are sure that you are recording with 24-bit, you can go much lower to avoid it.
At the end you can stop the recording and then play / weiterverarbeiten.
Rest is up to you.
Sound better is usually. The variant of picking up the built-in speaker in the guitar box by micro, because this also contributes significantly to the sound of the guitar (the speaker is deliberately "bad" in many guitar speakers). If you record per line, the guitar sounds u.U. Sterile and lifeless.
Well then it should work normally. But it could come in the digitization on the Lappi, as already mentioned, to distortions / overdriving.
As a rule, nothing can happen here.
Therefore, try makes smart.
Attention! Depending on the amplifier, the fun can really go into the money. Many tube amplifiers have no line-outs or headphone-outs. If you then out of ignorance, the power amplifier connects to the laptop you grill the output transformer and the laptop.
By the way, most laptops have a line-in. That's more of a driver thing.
