what kind of recording equipment is best?
July 25th, 2010 | 
Author: my husband plays electric guitar and has been wanting to record his music. but he has nothing to do it with and doesn’t want to go spend a bunch of money to get it professionally done.
i am wanting to get him some of the basic recording equipment to get him started and be able to record for christmas. and i have no experience in this. could you please point me in the right direction, on what you think i need?
thanks
If he is JUST recording a guitar, get him a 1 or 2 channel mixer or audio interface he can plug his guitar right into a "Line input" so that he can plug the mixer into a computer via usb, firewire, or just the regular headphone output or RCA outputs into the computer’s audio input. There are free programs to record into and the one I used to use was Audacity. Just set the input in the preferences to audio input so it can know where to get it from.
If you have any other questions or I wasn’t too clear on something haha feel free to send me an email at slipknotrokr12@yahoo.com
