Electric or acoustic guitar? What other sound equipment do you have? Microphone? Mixer? Computer with built-in microphone? And do you want high-quality recordings, or just something so you can remember stuff you come up with? --Allen
hi
I have just got a microphone at the minute but i was thinking about buying a usb guitar lead.
I’am not bothered about good quality recording just something i can listen back to.

What kind of connector does the mic cable use? Can you plug it into your computer? Do you know if your computer has a line-in or a mic-in jack?
A USB lead ought to work in any event. I take it you have an electric guitar, then? If you’re not on a tight budget, a USB lead might be nice so you don’t have to haul your amp around every time you want to record yourself.

A question that’s forcing it past my lips: Do you know the sound level of a guitar pickup? I can explain exactly how they work (if you have trouble sleeping, call me), but I don’t know the audio level they deliver. I can get one of the guitar people at work to bring his in, but my impression is the level is somewhere between Microphone and Line.
I know guitar amplifiers are a little weird because they have more amplification than a conventional entertainment power amplifier … but from there I’m stuck.
Good project. “Hey Joey! Bring your axe in tomorrow!”
