Laney1566 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have managed to accumulate 2 mics for recording my 2 amps. I run them with stereo outs from my chorus and delay and want to preserve those qualities. Question.....I need a interface that will accept 2 mics for recording both signals at the same time to a computer. At first I will probably use Audacity untill I can afford a more professional software package. Any ideas for under $200? Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I use this, cost about a buck thirty: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MobilePreUSB.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question....When both mics are connected at the same time...Can you record both signals out through the USB? Does it become Mono or can you retain stereo? Such as left and right channel recording.

ShredAstaire Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I use a M-Audio Firewire 1814....a bit outside your budget from what you have said....I wouldn't cheap out for recording equipment. If you have the ability to save up, I would suggest going with something non-USB. I suppose it depends on what you're doing but I found too much latency with a USB device. I also use Pro Tools M-Powered which supports any M-Audio interface. (It seems as though the 1814 may have been discontinued as I don't see it on their site anymore) Really up to you but that's my advice. You need to go with what fits your budget, your taste and your level of seriousity. (I made that up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yes sir, it as good as the software you are recording it to, mono stereo, surround. I use Cakewalk's Guitar Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney1566 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks. I've been playing 30 years and I have forgotten more tunes I wrote than I currently remember. Every once in a while my brain will release an oldie of mine and I would like to get as many as possible recorded. You know what they say about artists becoming famous after their death:-$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] What version? I used to use the Guitar Tracks 1 and 2, and they added Pro with v3 and that was cool too....good easy to learn program with lots of functionality. I have GAS so I upgraded to Pro-Tools and the learning curve that goes with it....hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney1566 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I'm not too concerned with effects based recording software. I just want to get the lines down. Effects are used during the recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShredAstaire Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Nice...i did like v3 quite a bit....up to 32 tracks available yeah? Not that I ever needed that many...but I did need more than 16 which is what you got in v1 and 2 if I remember correctly. What's new in v4?
