i want to record guitar on my laptop/ipad with no background noise, while playing through an amp. Will this cable do that? would i need anything else?

No this cable is for running your guitar into an iOS device for an input to an app

I've only gotten a condenser mike to work with this and have only used it for one instrument at a time. Of course it will record sound into an iPad. I wouldn't expect the quality to be great with everything piled into one track if that's what you had in mind.

I can record my guitar on tracks 1 or 2 via a 1/4 inch input jack. I you have the same type input jack (as used to connect a guitar to an amplifier), it should work with no problem.

Hopefully I'm understanding the question correctly, but if you're using an external recorder for your primary audio, it won't matter a bit. This thing is on the output side of that device. If you're putting it between a pre-amp of some sort like a JuicedLink or whatever, then there might be some loss. On the other hand, if you want good audio, the in-camera recorder isn't the place to get it anyway.

Using it thru ipad and garage band u can use some enhancement, reverb, echo, or guitar model amps, then record it, as far as i know, mixer is not recommended in recording , mostly its used in live, in my own opinion.

I use it to record through, and can say I have no evidence of a hum. A hum is usually a sign of a ground loop, so I would suggest trying an decoupler (hum buster) if it persists when connecting your devices.

You wouldn't need this unless your acoustic is electric too..........It's purpose is to prevent feedback from amp through the guitar pickup. Much like a microphone does.

I'd have to agree with K. but i did use mine via a tube preamp. it worked well but i ended up only usingthe cable once or twice as i rather go analogue

If you are a Mac user, please do not purchase this device. You will be sorry. They have not been updating the drivers for the Mac, and their own forum will give you plenty of rants. It is an interface to a computer, not a recorder. It will work with Soundflower, sort of. The preamps are very poor. So you may have to buy an external amp if you intend on recording a passive guitar through it. I did this and then it worked. It will do multi tracks as noted by the other reviews. However, I was never able to get the Avid software to properly work. It was a very annoying process so I would not purchase this device for that.

Unfortunately, it has to be on the iPad. I could have sware once I plugged the power in it would be fine, but nope...Pretty big bummer IMOP. I did look at the Scarlett and that one appears to be basically the same thing except not marketed towards apple. The scarlett looks to be more PC / USB built, but as far as the "having to be plugged into a recording device before outputting any sound" is concerned?? May be the same way, not sure.

I would plug in the guitar direct and use the effect "p51 for LP (AC SIM)". For vocals the built in microphones work decent. If you buy a separate condenser mic that will work better, but you likely have to spend $600+ for a good condenser mic.

Nope. This is an old school tube amp. No USB. These are really great sounding amps that take pedals well, but no effects loop etc. The only digital anything in it is a digital reverb unit that sounds very wet and natural. You could probably stream to a device that in turn was plugged into the amp's guitar input. But why would you do that? The resulting sound would be lo-fi as a good tube guitar amp should be. This ain't no stereo! ;) Edit: you used the word "stream". But you didn't really mean stream. Did you? You meant can I plug an audio cable into the unit. Yes you can do that. I've re-amped tracks thru mine that way but the impedance mismatch makes it a problem.

Yup. As long as your Audio box can take line level signals in, you'll just need a cord to take the headphone out from this amp (1/8") to into your audio box (1/4"). Plugging into the headphone jack also mutes the speaker, which is nice. I do this with my Scarlett 2i2 to practice, and get rough tone ideas before I record on a bigger amp.

Hello Dano686, well my friend this equipment gives you the oportunitty to modify the sounds of your guitar like you were playing through a series of the best amplifiers of the world. Only one of the modeled fender amplifiers cost a fortune. In order to record you will need another device where you can plug the outline of the FloorPOD Plus. I have a Lexicon Alpha that I plugged to my computer and I mixed my recordings with Ardour (the best free software for recording and mixing) under Debian Linux Operating System. You can also use any other software of your choice. I highly recommend you to purchase the FloorPod Plus, or some of the new products of Line6, they're really good. I hope I helped you. My best regards from Venezuela.

That really isn't the purpose of this device but I suppose you could use an app through an ipad or an iphone and then use the headphone jack from the iphone as your output. What is the problem that you're trying to solve? Are you wanting to use this device in lieu of a guitar amplifier?

Nope! You can line out directly to the mic input of your PC sound card. I made these videos exactly that way:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dneBzV_T4S8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_MeOXyYWEUI didn't use anything except the guitar and the Line 6 Floor Pod PLUS, plugged directly into my computer - no other interfaces. You can use any type of free recording software available. I used Kristal Audio Engine, which is a free download.

You have to use an XLR adaptor or a mixer. The cable has one guitar mono & one XLR. Otherwise, contact Apogee and ask.
