How to record songs with guitar?
    #23813120 - 11/08/16 03:15 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wassup guys an girls,

So I play guitar and finally want to start recording and making songs. If I plug my guitar to a laptop with some software, is that enough to record a song? I don't have any other instruments atm but I am going to buy instrument effects for my guitar, thus I can record only with 1 instrument...

Is that enough? Any suggestions for free guitar music software?

To get me through the day
Seasons change and so can I
Hold on boy, no time to cry
Untie these strings, I'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away

Usually, the sound cards on pre built computers sucks, especially for music production.

If you want reasonable quality you'll need to buy an external sound card.

But for starts, you want to try it out first, right? just plug it to the computer (do you have a connection on your guitar or are you using a mic?) and install ASIO4ALL driver, which will fix the latency issues of recording.

For the music production, Audacity is free, u can try that. It's really basic but I assume it's enough.

Cheers! It's going to be a guitar to PC cable, I'm trying to increase quality as much as possible. I can understand the sound card issue too.

Cool I'll get audacity, it seems to be the most popular.

I was gonna buy a trio band guitar effects pedal, apparently you play chords and it creates a backing drum and bass beat to match your playing. Check it out, is this worth it and has anyone got one?

Yea buy an audio interface.  Then you plug your 1/4 guitar cable right into it and then you can record into any DAW of your choosing.

I would but it's not needed, I can just plug straight to computer.
