Always glad to help, especially the long suffering ones!



Of course Matt you know that I'm just having fun here. Although it is more correct to call it an audio/midi interface calling it a soundcard is not that confusing.

It IS what produces sound from your computer, so soundcard seems appropriate to me. Just because we use softsynths now instead of hardware doesn't seem that big a deal to me. It serves as the soundcard, and every book I am using at school refers to it as a soundcard, even the brand new CompTIA Server+ book that just came out ... I think we'll have to get used to hearing the term for a while yet.

Oh yes, John.

Besides, I've always called these things a soundcard in my posts, with no confusion noted.

Yes there are audio/midi interfaces for guitar. Check out Line 6.

I assumed if you play guitar, you play it thru something now. That something would likely work as the preamp. An Amp, stombox, whatever.. what do you plug your guitar into now?

Mics and guitars are not line level instruments, they need to be amplified.




home amps.....laney vc15, marshall class 5 (as soon as they are available)

lots of USA "booteek" OD pedals plus TC electronic NR1 'verb and DD20,the list goes on...

is the infamous BAD MONKEY not suited for this function?

..and i may get the PODx3 desktop to save on electric bills this is ONE way in i am sure

The line out from any of those devices can go into the 1010lt. So you DO have a preamp already for the guitar. Use the mixer output of the bad monkey to the 1010lt.

Use the 'Line out' of the amp, or pedal or whatever you want to use.

BUMP! i have had a good look on the web at the 1010lt sound card....where does the guitar input to?one of those trailing leads?




All of the Analog inputs on that card are at Line Level. To properly record your guitar you would also need either a Guitar Amp simulator device or a mixer with appropriate High Impedance input for guitar on it or perhaps a Direct Box designed for recording guitar to Line Level. Some guitar amps have a Line Output on the back of them that can allow you to use the amp as a preamp for the guitar, all you would need then is a cable that connects from the amp's Line Out one of the soundcard's Line Inputs.

i have noticed that with the BX5A speakers there is no enclosed cable connections....what are they,what is it i need,standard 1/4" guitar jack connection cables?




Most self-powered nearfield monitors for recording work will have a BALANCED input on them, typically looks like a 1/4" jack, but requires a TRS cable that has three connections on the 1/4" instead of two as in the standard guitar patch cable.

Want great sound, rock solid drivers and monitor's that will blow you away, not for the faint of heart price wise. I this case the saying "you get for what you pay" apply's here.

Interface= RME USB Fireface UC $1298.00 CAD

Powered Monitors= Focal CMS 65 $825.00 CAD each

Total= $2948 CAD +tax

Most people try to reproduce what they hear on commercial recordings right?, well, you can't do it on the cheap. Get a great interface with solid driver's and great sounding monitor's and you won't regret it. RME are known all over the world for there rock solid driver's and clean pre-amps under XP, Win7 x86 or 64. Go demo this gear and you will buy. This equipment is top notch and will last a lifetime. You only need to buy once and be happy.
