Simple, it's the rate of the A/D (or DD) audio conversion. Bit and sample are what the two different numbers represent. Anything >= 96hz is considered high definition. The lowest quality you can really go with having enough headroom for a good recording would be around 16bits and 44.1hz (And no, bit is not short for byte just in case people are thinking as much).

Im plugging my guitar directy to my mixer, the mixer is going to my computer, im hearing a hiss noise, on my recordings, how can i get rid of those to get nice recordings, does the guitar need to be preamplified then put into the mixer?

if the program has an equalizer just boost treble and mids and drop bass.

so i just bought a yamaha mixer at guitar center, http://www.musiciansfriend.com/prod...ixer?sku=630048
the guy there said that i cood only record 2 tracks at a time because i have a Line 6 tone port UX2. is this true? because i'm trying to record drums and i would like to have each mic(i will probably be using 4 mics on the drums maybe 5) on a seperate track, is this possible?

CrackedSkye · « **Reply #51 on:** March 12, 2007, 02:24:09 AM »

yeah, its true. regular soundcards have one input(line in)
they dont have enough inputs to record individual tracks, just 1.

my q10 on the other hand, i have 8 mic inputs

all individual tracks.

I recommend Cool edit pro or adobe audition, cus cubase is far too advanced...

When I record I get too much pick scrapping and I don't know how not to get it, so anyone got advice?
I got a condenser mic set up by 12th fret and sort of aiming to the hole, if that's any help. Thanks!

juice182 · « **Reply #55 on:** August 11, 2007, 04:42:20 AM »

so uhhh... my friend wants to buy some basic recording stuff tomorrow and he wants me to go with him.

you think if he buys:

a condenser mic
an audio interface + Mixer (im pretty sure that exists)

he already has an amp and a guitar obviously.

is that stuff good or does he need anything else i missed?

Jim · « **Reply #56 on:** August 08, 2008, 09:47:15 AM »

If you want some cheap and basic stuff that sounds badass, check out the Zoom stuff. Right now i own the Zoom H2 Handy Recorder, a little recorder/soundcard that kicks ass. I've made a few songs with it that I'll upload later. I'm putting it all together with Audacity, and it works fine for me.

Synic918 · « **Reply #57 on:** February 15, 2009, 09:20:24 PM »

What I've done in the past is use the Toneport UX1(which bypasses your soundcard), plugging a Gemini GM-26 mic into it and placing it infront of my amp. I get the exact sound as if I'm just playing with no added crap. It's been a while but from what I remember it didn't sound bad.

Choppy182 · « **Reply #58 on:** August 03, 2009, 11:05:07 PM »

hey guys i was wondering if getting just a line 6 pod would be ok for rough guitar recording?? i wanna start messing around and dont want to spend a shit load of money at the moment, any other suggestions would be great.

Dean · « **Reply #59 on:** August 03, 2009, 11:35:26 PM »

Never used one myself, but to just lay down a guitar track, it should do what you want without a doubt.
