audio quality for guitar recordings?

I would opt for a digital music recorder like a Tascam DR-05. It has direct guitar cable inputs for electric too.

I work as a court reporter, use this for voice recording, which it does great at. I also play drums and have tried it with a full band rehearsal. Not so good with the drums; but I think if you were just using it for recording guitar, it would do very well. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I have only used my recorder to record meetings and seminars so have no experience with it for guitar recordings.

Excellent! I had an older olympus model and I used to record lectures. This one is much more sensitive and has two mics, giving yoy a richer sound.

Hi John,The quality of all Olympus Recorders is phenomenal, but I don't know how the three microphone set up will affect music recording. Also, these models are really tuned to voice and not music. I have used this model: Olympus LS-10 Linear PCM Recorder to record violin and viola with very good success. But that device is expensive, over $300. For a good music recorder under $100 try TASCAM DR-05EB Portable Digital Recorder. BTW, I am assuming you mean acoustic guitar, not electric. I have not tried any of these for recording electric guitar. Hope this helps.

My vinyl to pc capture was pre hdmi. I used rca to pc audio input. Software must have vinyl clean up feature.outcome is not high quality, but provided a clean retro sound on cd for a friend who's father recorded the album for her. sorry, HDMI audio in from rca...haven't tried. Maybe Audicity could help

Sorry I can't comment on its recording quality since I only have knowledge of the quality of sound when playing pre-recorded cassettes. You can always give it a try and return it via Amazon's return policy if you're not happy with the quality of recorded sound. Amazon is most gracious with its return policy. Good luck!

Look into the Focusrite Scarlett series. The pre-amps are great, and it puts out up to 24 bits/96 kHz. If you're going to be recording at home, make sure to get some basic treatment for better monitoring. Good luck:)

Only if you want the audio to have all sorts of buzz and noise on it... For the cheapest available "acceptable" quality (for casual use) interface, I would suggest the Behringer UCA202. It's not great, but at least it's relatively clean-sounding, especially compared to this.

I purchased SHURE M44-7 for 45 records and it's a world of difference...For LP's i've been using audio technica AT440ML.. I also use the spin clean record washing system, it's alot cheaper than the other cleaners on the market and does a fantastic job.....

I would not rely on this mic for a high quality recording, or even a decent recording. Especially not for micing amplifiers or acoustic instruments. Get a cheap MXL condenser mic.

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.

I returned mine because of the sound quality - small tinny sound and had a buzz sound. For a more versatile amp look at the Roland cube street which has 2 inputs ¼"/XLR combo for hi quality mics and a ¼' for the guitar or another mic and has an array of settings on each channel. And it is battery operated also which makes it very handy for quick setups and practice. Check it out on YouTube.

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.

I use High Performance OFC connecting cables-2 TRS on one side the other XLR's which I made up! Guitar cables are Great! Your ears will pick up the Difference..I connect the XLR's to a power amp then out into the Virtualizer pro DSP2024P-Preset settings on the Virtualizer: I:O73 TUBE AMP! This Creates a Giant Stereo Smack with Clarity = MID BASS & TREBLE & the Levels are Way up to 0.5db & of coarse the CD recorder to lift the Levels to that Mark. I hope this was helpful to complete your Music Workmenship, God Bless ya Bruce & have a Great Week.

Yes. You may wish to read the post at "http://zendrum.com/forums/index.php?topic=3829.0" about better sound using the mic input.Also see "http://www.ionaudio.com/products/details/discover-guitar-live-bundle"

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

I would recommend a higher quality amp. it pushes 12's okay but audio quality is not there.

You should be recording audio directly to a computer. You have a variety of quality editing software available if your ear does not like the precise pitch calibration. Just like vinyl records, the most used tapes may have more distortion and may require editing. I have found that mp3 files are very difficult to achieve the original studio sound.

I don't know the answer to this but I would be really interested to hear someone else's ideas. You are giving me the idea of a workflow which would be different from the one I typically use: guitar - audio i/f - software (I typically use Sonar) - Guitar Rig. I interpret you to be putting the guitar effects at the beginning of the chain and the using the THR5 as the audio i/f. Given your Focusrite probably has better converters, and your pedals are going to introduce noise, I would expect you to be getting a different kind of sound. Like Link Wray for the 21st century. Good Luck!

I use the VoiceTone with an acoustic run direct so the only sound going in the unit is from the guitar. I don't think you'll have feedback issues as much as your harmonies may be effected from other sounds from the stage entering the mics. Good hypercardioid mics may help with this however if you are the only sound source than it may not be an issue.
