houndman55 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hey, When I record guitar on audacity it tends so not sound like it should. After like 5-10 seconds the sound it kind of fades out and sounds like crap. I tried buying a microphone but it didn't help. But then again it was a cheapo one. What am I doing wrong?

houndman55 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 An acoustic guitar? Yes, a nylon string one. Have never tried with electric guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thouston Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 If you're using Audacity, I assume you're using a PC/Laptop? If so, than you're using 'Mic-in' to record? The sensitivity on those soundcards is really not made for instrument recording IMO. It would best to get a external USB audio capture device and a decent mic.

houndman55 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 It's a Windows 7. Yeah I need a mic but they scammed me last time so I don't know where to turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
