My first try was using some cheap mic in front of my amp into the laptop and using sound recorder lol. <br /><br />Recently, i got one of those audio adapter&#39;s (guitar size &gt; headphone&#39;s size) and i tried to plug it in directly. Since my amp has an effects loop, i tried using my amp&#39;s preamp section (guitar &gt; pedals &gt; preamp &gt; pc). It worked, until i tried using distortion. I tried using an overdrive pedal and the recording didnt sound good at all. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> The only plus side is that there was no noise. I used a software called mixcraft which was alright i guess.<br /><br />So, my question is, is there a better setup for me to record the distortion better without spending too much money on an expensive microphone (or something else)? jem77fp Musicians Sun, 12 Jul 2009 19:47:01 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/924685 Where to buy a trem bar for those ibanez trems?
