howdy folks.
I'm not sure if i'm in the right forum for this Q, but here goes.
I am a professional acoustic guitar player who owns BIAB 2014. I would like to start inputting from my gtr, instead of the computer keyboard.
what do i need to do? what equipment do i need?
my guitar has a very good pickup. the output can be either a mono or stereo send.
many thanks.
looking forward to your assistance.
Happy New Year!

There are a ton of way, microphone, cable to the mike input, but if I wanted really good clean recording, and the options to add other things later i would get one of these http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio...limited-edition

thanks for the info and suggestions.
at the moment i am not too worried about sound quality. i want to be able to write out charts (with melody) for other band members, and to write out lessons and simple songs for students.
i can play the melody much faster on guitar than i can type it on on the keyboard.
is there some way to go from the 1/4" output on my guitar to a USB into my computer and enter through that?
thanking you in advance!

Assuming (or once) you have a good AUDIO input device to PC and I don’t mean the motherboard sound card Read this thread: http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=231906&nt=2&page=1then go here and try it for free http://jamorigin.com/products/midi-guitar/ looks like ~ $100 is minimum sunk cost here : the above SW, which in my case I like, or the next link to HW and I have never tired it so you are on your own) http://www.sonuus.com/products_g2m.htmlor if you just want a dedicated "guitar like" controller, because you can't play keyboards, just to get notes/chords into PC the You Rock Guitar WORKS - I have one - but it's a short scale and takes getting use to! I got mine on a whim but was surprised at how well it worked (it has limits - no fret vibrato, etc.) https://www.youtube.com/user/YouRockGuitar/videoshttp://yourockguitar.com/yrg-gen2I think if you look around you can find the YRG cheaper (under 2 bills) ! It only gets more expensive from here if you go HW route (GK pickups and a GK compatible I/O device, or a Godin, Parker Fly, Roland Ready Strat, or other guitar - but you still need GK compatible device to plug them into…. ) good luck Larry

Hi RBS. Not sure if you wanted to use it as an audio input device, or to convert to Midi. I think the unit will only allow you to record Audio. If you wanted to record as Midi data then something like this might be more suited. (Do a www search for guitar midi software). There's a lot out there, so you need to establish your requirements, then do a bit of research.
