1. Hardware list:
-
Electric guitar/bass
-
Computer (laptop or desktop) with USB connectivity
-
Audio interface with 6.3mm Jack socket for guitar recording
- Monitor speakers. They don’t have to be professional studio monitors. You can try using your home audio, preferably a stereo system.
IMPORTANT: Audio reference setup that you choose must have a line input, which is usually labelled AUX or Line in at the back of the unit.
WARNING: Certain speaker types/audio setups might not be suitable - they can give inaccurate sound reference or get damaged - always control the output signal level and start from low volume to protect your audio equipment.
- Cords and cables with proper plugs. It depends on your audio setup, but generally:
- guitar cables have 6.3mm Jack plugs
- cables connecting your computer or audio interface with studio monitors/audio reference system can have a single or double 6.3mm Jack or 3.5mm mini Jack plugs on the computer end, and single or double RCA/cinch plugs on the other end - depending on the sockets available in the audio unit.
- studio monitors use cables with 6.3mm Jack plugs
- proprietary USB cables to connect your interface to computer should come with the device
Remember to measure correct cable lengths to suit your needs!
- Optional: Any guitar stompboxes you wish to use. You can use them without the guitar amp, plugged straight into the audio interface. Prepare an extra guitar cable and power source for each.
