Paranoia Is In Bloom Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hey, this is my first post! I've been looking for something to record songs into and I was just gonna buy Cubase when i found out about reaper from this site It looks great but I want to be able to record from my guitar into the computer. I need a USB guitar interface right? Is there any difference between a guitar interface and an audio interface? Can anyone please recommend one for me as I've seen alot ranging from about £15 to £400? Finally, if i bought one without any effects built-in could I still use my effect pedals before the USB connector/interface? (eg. Guitar-Boss Effect Pedal-USB Interface-Reaper v3.63) As im a bit of a "noob" to this, any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoia Is In Bloom Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Could a simple Audio-USB cable for about £20 be used and still get good quality? Would this also work for a microphone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 This is what I use : http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/77688 Works great and can be used with mics and guitars/any other instrument with a jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoia Is In Bloom Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Ok thanks, I will probably end up getting something like that but I don't want to spend an extra £50 if a simple Jack-USB lead would do the job for £20 if you know what i mean? If nobody else knows I might just buy a Jack-Usb lead try it, if it doesn't work, only £20 loss and ill buy a proper preamp like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grinning Death Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 This is what I use : http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/77688 Works great and can be used with mics and guitars/any other instrument with a jack. That looks really good, I would like to get something like that but without as many features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I assume these Jack -> USB leads are actually a kind of interface with a driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
