The diagram
below shows how to connect a guitar to a standard computer
soundcard using the Et
Cetera guitar to computer cable. This
method is ok for beginners and for use as a sketchpad.
However, a standard PC soundcards recording quality
isn't good enough for recording CD or MP3 demos.
The diagram
below shows how to connect a guitar FX pedal to a standard
computer soundcard using the Et Cetera FX pedal to computer
cable. This method is ok for beginners and for use as
a sketchpad. However, a standard PC soundcards recording
quality isn't good enough for recording CD or MP3 demos.
Please note: not all laptops have a line in connection.
The Audio Advantage Roadie is a good cost effective USB solution to this issue.
The diagram
below shows a high quality connection from guitar to
a computer using the Cakewalk UA-25EX audio interface and the Et
Cetera Pro Guitar Cable. The Cakewalk UA-25EX is particularly well suited to this job because
of its HI-Z guitar inputs. These ensure you get the
best possible quality when connecting to a guitar directly.
The Cakewalk UA-25EX has a dedicated headphone output making monitoring
easy when multi tracking. It is possible to get the
same quality of recording using the Cakewalk UA-25EX as you would in a professional recording studio.
The diagram
below shows a high quality connection from a guitar
FX pedal to a computer using the Cakewalk UA-25EX audio interface and two Et
Cetera Pro Guitar Cables. The Cakewalk UA-25EX has high quality inputs so no more hiss. It
also has a ground lift to prevent mains hum when connecting
to things like guitar amplifiers and FX pedals.
