ive been looking for ways to get my amps sound to my computer...the toneport just isnt doing it for me right and i want to get my new set ups sound into the computer!

so ive been looking at solutionns (becaue i cant really afford the whole mic/fast track/mixer set up)


on craigslist i found some deals on stuff like the boss micro br recorder and an old korg pandora recorder and was wondering if these things are worth getting?

i know they come with mics, but could i connect to the amp and get that sound directly?


or any other solutions for recording will be welcome! (i use a toneport GX now)

Since you already have Toneport GX, and if you really need to record the sound from your amp, I would advise to get a microphone+cheap mic preamp. Here's the recommendation:

1. Microphone - Shure SM57
This is the industry standard microphone for guitar amp recordings, and it can be used for vocals as well. It costs 99$ at sweetwater (they have a free shipping and are great company).
Shure SM57

2. Mic Preamp - ART TubeMP
This tube preamp looks like a good deal to me (if you're tight on a budget I would advise possibly Behringer MIC100). It's sturdy looking and ART brand I think will ensure that the quality is decent enough. Price is 49$ on sweetwater (again free sheeping).
ART TubeMP

So these 2 things are basically what you need. You will also need to buy 2 more cables,
1. from mic to preamp

Hosa XRR-115 15 feet cable - $10.69

2. from preamp to Toneport GX.

Hosa CFS106 - $2.99 on Sweetwater

Another optional thing to get is a stand for the SM57 mic. I say option cause you could use only the mic and improvise the stand, but I think stand is a small price to pay. Here's a cool one from Sweetwater that costs only 13$:

At a roughly 175$ you will get a pro equipment for recording your guitar amp, and I think this equipment can later comfortably be used with a better audio interface. But GX will do the job nicely, and if you consider buying this, let us know, and we will give you some advices how to properly mic your amp.

All the best mate, cheers! smile.gif
