Will this work out of the box, or do I need other hardware to record to a Daw?

It should work out of the box. It will appear in your DAW as a midi device.

No other hardware is required. The pickup transmits to a "plug and play" usb receiver and sends general midi.

This product has everything you need to plug your guitar into your computer, including DAW software. You will not need any other equipment, and you will not need a cable because this system is wireless and the wireless USB receiver is included.

It should, if you've downloaded and installed ALL of the associated software (don't forget updates and registrations) correctly. Had a few small issues tweaking it, but worth it. Installed mine on a 70's Strat. A couple strings are a little off center, but not far enough to matter. Enjoy..

Yes, assuming your DAW has a soft synth to generate sound from the incoming MIDI data that is generated by the fishman pickup

As long as the pickup fits your guitar its plug and go with no extras. I had to put shims under the neck of my strat to raise the neck height and so the string height to get clearance over the pickup. Les Pauls naturally have lots of clearance between the body (at the bridge) and the strings but strats not so much.The bluetooth transmitter works well and the fishman software is pretty good but plugin mode didn't work with my Pro tools but I hear its good in VST.

You'll need an analog-to-digital converter, which opens a whole can of worms. You can get something as simple as a XLR to USB cable adapter to a high-definition FireWire, Thunderbolt, or USB 16 channel converter. For a beginner, I'd recommend a two channel A/D converter which includes free recording/editing software, of which there are many. A little bit of further research should yield a number of great options by companies like Avid, Presonus, Focusrite, M-Audio, etc.... Good luck!

Yes. This device will not produce sound without a program. However, it ships with a disk loaded with free software, and I found this quite enough to use it. If you already have something like Garage Band, ProTools, Ableton, or something similar, it will run with that as well. There are also some free programs available with a quick Google search.

Also, if what you want to do is hook up a studio-quality microphone to your computer (rather than mix several audio inputs in realtime) you're better off with a dedicated mike preamp like the Art Tube Studio and a USB sound card (cheap ones are fine).

this isn't a digital recording system so you would still need a recording device. I don't think this is a good choice if you're trying to set up a recording system from scratch.

Fist, download user guide PDF from Google. U can use a usb hub (make sure it uses a power supply) to extend the inputs to PC. Use the accompanying "ignite" software to integrate with your DAW.

As long as the application has the ability to take a MIDI controller input then yes. (Most if not all DAW software is able to)

I have only used it with audio recording programs. In theory, it should work, but I wil want to see other responses.

You have to properly set up the output audio device on the DAW program you are using.

I use the R24 to record live shows all the time. I use "Y" connectors/ splitters to take the signal off ahead of my board (as I don't have direct outs from my mixer/amp). This approach also gives me the advantage of being completely independent of the trim levels on the board. You can either mix down from the board or (what I do), import the audio files into Audacity or Logic Express (or any other sound editor) and mix from there. Feel free to check out youtube: LimeyInSD for videos wherefor about 1 year I've used the R24 to record the audio for about 1 and sync'd the results up with video footage to get an idea. Alternatively wolfflive.com and drivineast.com will get you to the same videos (possibly more efficiently). Good luck!

It SHOULD work with any DAW host that supports VSTI's. Toontrack has a demo on their website to download and try. That'll give you some idea if it'll work for you or not.

I don't see a reason why not. It's a input as a microphone, turntable, cassette deck. Audio Studio is a good program....it's only drawback it records a single file.....When I do a record, I record side 1 and use the markers....then edit, gain..ect then side 2. Hope that helps. Charlie

This is only an interface to do recording on your machine. This does not store anything locally. You still need software to do the actual recording/storing of files. It comes with ProTools Express which IMO sucks because you must use monitors in order to hear what you are doing. ProTools will not output to your sound card, it will only come back out the monitor port of the AKAI box. I grabbed Cakewalk Sonar from Steam and that allows me to do either up to 2 stereo inputs (1/2 + 3/4) or up to 4 mono inputs for recording and I can output to my sound card so I can hear without investing in studio monitors.Works like a charm though.

It depends on what you want to do with it in a home studio. I'd guess that the lack of buses kinda preclude using it in a traditional recording manner - where you have multiple sources that you're feeding to some sort of recording system. What are you looking to do?

try the tascam 6 track recorder that should be plenty of tracks and right now its 99 bucks with prime shipping...check it to see if has all the stuff you want for recording tho...

Hi, how can you plug the mixer into the laptop? I don't recommend the sound card onboard to record because maybe you experiment some latency when you record. The laptop is ok, but you need to buy adicional parts to optimize the latency, one of those is an external sound card and also one ssd disk to replace the default hard disk. For record i recommend a m-audio card, good luck!
