I know we have similar threads, and I even considererd that this should go under the Gear section but felt that this topic would be better served in the practice room since I use my recording device for practice more than anything. I struggled for awhile before I figured out what worked for me to record digitally from my guitar to some usable file on my PC..... like .mp3 or .wav.

Rather than hash out brands and what's better, it appears that some of our brothers and sisters here at GMC are just limited to what they can easily get their hands on, and maybe need help figuring out their best option with what they can get.

I'm certainly no expert on this, but I know what finally worked for me. I also realize that MAC is better suited for this, but unfortunately I spent all my fun money on the guitars and amps so I'm left with my PC which is close to 3 years old now.... and it actually works decent for recording better than I thought. So if you have older equipment, there may be hope.

So.... anyone needing help with this particular topic? I'm sure there are enough of us here to lend a hand.



Here's my current load out until I can move on to bigger and better things...

- Toshiba Laptop running AMD Athlon X-2 Daul Core 1.2 MHz CPU Windows 7, 3 GIG Ram and 300 MB HD.
- PreSonus USB 2x2
- Audacity recording software. It's Free and used for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

As you can see, I have an old laptop and free software so I'm definately not here trying to tell anyone what is "Best" to get, I'm just thinking someone may need help with what they have or what they are limited in getting.... and the GMC community has a lot of good people in it who may be able to help out...
