h364 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hi guys, i got my GT-6G for my birthday today, its absolutly amzing truely flawless, buy anyway, i used to have a zoom b2.1u that had usb output straight to the computer for recording, the qaulity wasnt great but it was ok for what i was doing. The boss being more high end, has midi in out, stereo di out, stereo 1/4' out, and digital out. Really i wanted to know a really cheap way of recording this onto my computer using these outputs, cheers, Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Wilburn Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 If you only want to record the bass, Edirol (Roland's synth and computer branch) has a S/PDIF interface called the UA-EX1 that should do the trick. If you want to do more than that, I like the M-Audio Firewire Solo, which is about $200, or the Tascam US-122L USB, which is about $150. The Tascam comes with Cubase LE, which is a bonus.

Mike Bear Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I've had the Tascam US-122 for about 3 years now. Though it's not boo-ya unit, I've been very happy with what I've used it for. It's very easy to use, has a built in tuner program, and most important a monitor mix, so you don't deal with any latency issues while recording. It does have to inputs that you can record with at once. So sometimes, I record keys, or drum machine in stereo. At times, I'll run two lines of bass, one dry and one with Sans Amp or total distortion, I've used it to re-amp guitars even. Yes, I can tell a difference when I hear my freinds Pro Tools Digi 002, but I make a lot of recordings and I hear many nice things with the simple interface I use as well. Many of my friends complain they can't get into computer recording without spendin a fortune, and I always tell them about the US-122. It's such a good bang for the buck. If by any chance you are looking in the $500 range, may I suggest the MOTU Ultralite. I've been looking to upgrade for a bit now and I've done my research big time. One thing I found is lots of people have their units in the $100 range, then it always jumps to $500. Don't forget to budget in software. You can get Cubase LE for $99. I've been using Cubase SX for a year now and everything I've found on protools I've foundon here. Best of luck.

Thomas Wilburn Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 The main thing that I miss from Pro Tools when I switch back to Cubase is easy sidechaining. But I miss my VST effects when I use Pro Tools, so I guess it's kind of a wash. I do think it makes sense, if you can spend the money, to invest in an M-Powered-compatible interface. You may well want to run Pro Tools eventually, M-Powered is relatively cheap and very powerful, and the hardware can also be used with other applications.

Davo-London Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have a Tascam US-122 as well and have found it a dream to work with. If you have a lap top you can plug in via the US-122 or equivalent and play with headphones on. This is how I practice most nights. Dial up a drum rhythm and off you go.
