Question about interface for recording electric guitar and vocals

Ok, I've been messing around with Garageband all day, totally stoked and I'm ready to get into it. Right now I'm using a First Act quarter inch plug to USB cord to hook up my guitar and start recording and after some messing around I got it to work.
Here's my question... to really make quality recordings, what's the best way to hook up the guitar? Is the way I'm doing it now fine with the USB cord or is some sort of interface better? Can someone recommend one that's on the cheap side? Also, I haven't tried yet, but what's the best way to record vocals? Should I invest in a USB mic? Can anyone recommend one? I have a Shure SM58 already, what's the best way to hook that up?
Really excited about this, can't wait to start cranking out some songs!
PS: When I use the USB cord, I don't see any way to control the recording level, and sometimes I get a Feedback control warning. How can I lower the level so I don't get that? Thanks!

I have a total now of 4 interfaces - I recently purchased a FOCUSRITE SAPPHIRE 6 USB - it's amazing quality and I only paid $149 for it at my local Guitar Center. I use it with my Guitar and everything sounds fantastic - they say the preamps are really high-quality for Mics too... I recommend it. I have a firewire interface too but the Sapphire is my man baby now - don't let the USB 1.1 fool you - it works flawlessly with my Mac and my Windows 7 machine too. It also comes with a selection of software including Ableton Live Lite and 4 really nice Focusrite plug-ins too.

  • Question about MBeans for web service metrics and configuration

    Hi,
    I'm new to JMX and trying to figure out how to create a MBean structure that captures a tree similar to the following for some web services I'm working on. All the operations will have the same set of metrics I'm collecting, so I'd like to reuse as much of the MBean structure as possible. In addition, the service will have various config parameters that need to be able to be modified during runtime via JMX. Below is an example of something similar to what I'd like to be able to do:
    user
    +-com.example.ws.CalculatorService
      +-Attributes
        +-ServiceName
        +-ServiceVersion
        +ServiceConfigParam1
        +ServiceConfigParam2
      +Operations
        +-SetServiceConfigParam1()
        +-SetServiceConfigParam2()
      +-AddOperationMethod
        +-Attributes
          +-RequestCounter
          +-ResponseCounter
        +-Operations
          +-ResetAllCounters()
          +-ResetRequestCounter()
          +-ResetResponseCounter()
      +-SubtractOperationMethod
        +Attributes
          +-RequestCounter
          +-ResponseCounter
        +-Operations
          +-ResetAllCounters()
          +-ResetRequestCounter()
          +-ResetResponseCounter()Where the counters are a variety of metrics to collect for each web service operation. Is there a standard/commonly accepted way to implement this? What type of MBean is best suited, standard, or do I need to use dynamic MBeans? Thank you for any pointers to useful references.

    I ended up finding the answer after more digging. The page [http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/mxbeans|http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/mxbeans] had a section about handling inter-MXBean references that turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.
    This reply is just to help anyone else that stumbles through with a similar problem to mine and point them in the right direction.

  • Garage band records raw guitar and vocals through mic - sounds tin tinny...

    i haven't changed any of my settings... i am not using any effects and using internal mic
    i know its not going to be the highest quility but it still sounds really funky
    any suggestions

    There are 3 tips that could help you get the best sound out to your tracks... 1. and USB audio/midi Interface 2. A GOOG audio cable (Monster is Great) 3. The third one is not a tip but rather what can contribute to that sound tin, check your guitar knobs and also make sure your bridge is not too low.
    Also check your Mac's system preferences under audio settings etc.

    I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

    This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
    On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

  • Severe static when trying to record electric guitar

    I've been trying to record a clean electric guitar and every recording is just covered in heavy hissing static sound. This didn't happen when I recorded an acoustic guitar through a microphone. I have an electric guitar going into a small amp, with the amp level set on the clean channel at a very low setting, then the headphone/output is running directly into my M-Audio FastTrack USB interface, which is connected to the computer. I have adjusted the "recording level" in garage band so that the signal never gets close to the red in the individual instrument track. The "output" knob on the FastTrack is set relatively low also, about "4" out of 10. When I play back the recorded track, the master level meter never goes into the red either. Yet no matter what volume I record at I'm getting this strong crackling/hissing as if it was extremely overdriven.
    Related question: When I play on the electric guitar, is it supposed to show an indication in the LCD box, as it does when I'm playing on my midi controller? It doesn't have the little indicator light showing signal, nor does the master level indicator, when I'm recording. Only the individual track level indicator shows the signal coming in. Maybe this is normal...
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    OK, well I solved my own problem through trial and error. Rant: I switched to GB from ProTools on the theory that GB was supposed to "just work" and I want to be a musician, not an audio engineer. Here is how I fixed the static: one of my garage band books told me I could set the Garage Band audio preferences to "System" default, and then set my computer's audio preferences to my audio interface for the ins and outs, because I wanted to play all of computer's audio, whether in garageband or not, through my reference studio monitors. Well doing it this way results in massive static when recording a real instrument, for no apparent reason. So to fix this, you have to set Garageband's own audio in/out settings to your audio interface, NOT to the system settings. This caused the static in my recordings to completely disappear. Go figure.

  • What's a good interface to record voice/guitar tracks in Logic Pro

    Hello - could you tell me what would be a good interface to record voice/guitar into a Logic Pro project please?  Thanks.

    re the firmware update - there is talk that this should only be done if you are going to use USB - and also that it needs to be done via Windows.........I am confused re this?
    I don't know about that, I don't own a Phonic, but if you only have to do it for USB, well, then there's no problem and you don't have to do anything, so...
    Also when you say DAW (what does that stand for?
    Digital Audio Workstation; Logic, Cubase, Protools etc are all DAWs. You'll probably encounter this term once in a while...
    I just want to make sure and sorry if i sound silly but I should be able to use Phonic as my interface with Logic Pro without using Cubase?
    Yes.

  • Question about Interface

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question about interface :
    an interface can only have abstract methods, right ?
    so how come ResultSet (which is an interface) has methods like next() which can't be abstract otherwise it wouldn't do anything ?
    thanks for answering !

    an interface can only have abstract methods, right ?Yes. All methods in an interface are inherently public and abstract.
    so how come ResultSet (which is an interface) has
    methods like next() which can't be abstract otherwise
    it wouldn't do anything ?It defines the next() method for classes that implement the interface. When you get a ResultSet reference returned from a method call, you're not getting a reference to an interface; you're getting a reference to an object that implements that interface (or null, as the case may be).

  • Lenovo g580 do I need to buy an external audio interface to record live instruments and voice ?

    Hello,  If anyone could help me please ?, I am wondering do I need to buy an external audio interface to record live instruments and voice onto my lenovo g580.?
    My friends have said that good laptops have audio interface's built in... but I cannot see how this could work as I am trying to build a home recording studio. Do they mean that I just need to have a mixing desk ? As the audio interface is already in my laptop, ?
    Another question I have is... I have bought a microphone to record with a studio mic. But when I plug it into the headphone socket, it works as a speaker and not as a microphone. Please can you tell me how do I make it work as a microphone, and record on ableton. Thanks. I live alone with two cats so I'd really appreciate some help ! 
    Thank you very much, best wishes.

    I'm preparing to expand my studio from a 1 man songwriting system,
    to add the capability to record a complete live band, with 16 separate
    simultaneous tracks recording. Am I dreaming?
    Nope. I've been recording live bands with up to 56 channels at 24 bit 48kHz for three years now.
    1) Does my computer have enough native power to handle such a task?
    Yes. The actual recording uses the hard drive buss, so you need to make sure you have fast drives and a dedicated FW or SATA buss for them.
    2) Is there an audio interface device that could help shoulder some of
    the cpu load?
    No. CPU is used only for routing audio, effects, etc. An audio interface is used to route the audio in and out of the computer, and as such does not process effects at all.
    3) is it possible to use my multiple, fast internal drives to help?
    Yes. Although with Logic Pro you can use only one drive at a time for recording. HOWEVER, I have been able to use SATA drives to record up to 56 tracks AT ONCE. So there is plenty of power there.
    4) If not 16, what's the highest realistic track count I can hope for?
    Again, I have done 56 tracks. 16 is a walk in the park in comparison to 56. I would recommend you invest in Apogee AD16X and DA16X, since in one interface you get ALL 16 inputs, and the other gives you the 16 outputs to go to, say, a mixer. And the sound quality is very very very good.
    thanks in advance
    You're welcome.
    Cheers

    I'm also getting some really bad sound quality on facebook notifications. I've been forced to disable them they sound horrible like they are clipping.
    Trying to figure out if this is a problem on all Late 2013 15" macbook pros or if mine is defective? This occurs even at around 20-30% volume levels with the Facebook notification sound problems...

  • How can I record a guitar and my voice (only voice with mic) at the same time ?, how can I record a guitar and my voice (only voice with mic) at the same time ?

    how can I record a guitar and my voice (only voice with mic) at the same time ? I have one interface with Input 1 mic, Input 2 guitar, everything is working correct, but how can I activate multi recording or something like that... thanks

    Set your inputs on your channel strips and make sure you have one set to input 1 and the other input 2.  Arm the 2 audio tracks(the "R" in the track header. They will turn red and flash), then hit the record button. 

  • DO i need some extra hardware interface for receving both Audio and video

    hi i m doing e-learning project. i have to capture video from webcam and voice from headphone and send to client.
    but my code is working fine for either one at a time.
    DO i need some extra hardware interface for receving both Audio and video. im using code AVTransmit and AVReceive found from this site only
    After running TX
    i give Dsound:// & vfw://0 in Media Locater only sound is received and no vedio
    and when i give vfw://0 in Media Locater only live video is transmited.
    im using JMF1.1.2e.
    if any one know the method to run or cause of it plz reply me soon. i will be very thankfull
    transmiter/server side code .first run TX on server

    I do this all the time, I put my MBP to a 60 inch Sharp. If you have the video working do the simple thing first. Check to make sure your sound is on your TV and Mac. Then if that doesn't work go to System Prefrences and under sound go to a tab called Output and see if your TV is listed and if it is change it to that setting

    Hi ,
    I have a question about CRM 5.0 with relation to the IPC .
    As we know the IPC  will be available internally from  CRM 5.0 , but we would like to know if the internal IPC  will be distributed with different applications or will it be one IPC  for all the different applications .
    Thanks in advance

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

  • I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects.  I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

    I am using logic to record a podcast.  I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time.  I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects.  I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast.  Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it?  Thanks.

    Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

    Help please!  I am using an interface to record vocals.  I've used it before without any problems but today it won't record.  Garageband recognizes the mic but for some reason it won't record.

    When you say nothing was touched, does that include a software update of any kind?
    Do you have Apple's auto update enabled?
