maketin Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Ho! Any advice on connecting an amp with rec out/headphones and aux in sockets to my PC soundcard! Is it even possible! Take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 What kind of an amp is it? The rec-out/'phones output-jack should do fine, connected to any required adapter (like a 1/4"-to-"mini" female-to-male plug). But... ...Give me a little more to work with here; what kind of amp is it, and what EXACTLY and SPECIFICALLY is the rec/'phone jack- 1/4" instrument/phone plug TS, XLR, what? Stereo, or mono? Balanced TRS/XLR, unbalanced? Speaker simulated/compensated/emulated/mutated? Fill me in a bit (o.k., a lot) more here, maketin!

A String Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Headphone jacks work great! If they happen to be stereo, even better! Like Caveman said, get yourself a 1/4 to 1/8 stereo adapter, (You can tell it's stereo because it will have two rings instead of one) and a 1/8 stereo cable. (You can sometimes even buy a stereo cable that has 1/4 inch on one end and 1/8 inch on the other.) Check around for the best prices (try rat shack or even some dollar stores.) Then plug that sucker directly into your sound card in either the mic/in or line/in. You're ready to go! This is a great way to record with out droping tons of cash into it!

This is a great way to record with out droping tons of cash into it!This is exactly how I record with my Digitech RP100 pedal. The headphone jack actually gives me more gain than the unit's line-out and it interfaces better with the line input of my Santa Cruz soundcard. Mudcat's music on Soundclick "Work hard. Rock hard.

I have a Zoom 505 that I use, I love this set up because I get to maintain the stereo effects and (As I mentioned) it's a realloy cheap setup!

Caevan O’Shite Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 D'oh!! I should've realized that it would probably be a 1/4" phone-plug jack, and probably be either stereo, or dual-mono to "stereo". (I would want to be sure of whether or not you could pushing any old 1/4" plug into it, though, as a mono instrument cable plug can damage a stereo jack if forced). A string is right! I'd still like to know more of the details, though; all that can make a difference on just what to do, what not to do, to get the very best sound to HD!
