You can make a clean setting for guitarix/rakarrack etc, from the Twin Reverb model, Plug opens a separate selector panel for each area There is a cab selection, even bias/sag settings. The older v1 has 12 amp models, newer one several more,Īnd the effects can be chained pre/post model. You can save 24 presets on the amps main dial, and unlimited #'s on disk.Ĭhoose the Mustang in qjackctl 'input device' setting. That exposes (edit) the effects for edit/save. New Mustang 1 v.2 is $120 new, both work with a debian app called 'plug' Used Fender Mustang 1 v.1 usb modeling amp/interface run $60 used, Or should I just buy a jack to mini jack and plug the guitar straight in to my laptop? B003U6CT5K which is a good price and would fit my needs (I only want to record one guitar, I don't need knobs or faders or other inputs). What would be the cheapest solution? I saw a mention of this. Would I need some kind of usb soundcard or a DI or something? Is it really necessary? I'm guessing this isn't going to be very good quality though, not that I need pristine sound but I may as well aim as high as possible. Ideally I would like to just plug the guitar in to my laptop, record it and process it after with guitarix (or do that on the way in, whichever). I have a laptop and I will soon have an electric guitar. I haven't had a guitar for a few years and the last time I had one I was using the V-amp to emulate the amp and then recorded directly in to the computer. (Normally, you’re going to leave some headroom and you’ll want to amplify anyway.)Įither way you CAN trust the clipping indicators on your interface because it’s (usually) the analog-to-digital converter inside the interface that clips.I'm ashamed to say I don't know much about getting guitar signals in to computers, it's always been a bit of a gray area for me. With only one mic and the signal cut in half, you can’t go over -6dB and you’ll have to amplify after recording. If you record in mono, Audacity will cut both signals in half so you don’t go over 0dB when they are combined. As you may already know, a mono file will play through both speakers. If you record in stereo, of course you’ll get one silent channel and you’ll have to delete it (or duplicate it). It has an important feature that not all interfaces have - It has zero-latency direct-hardware monitoring so you can monitor yourself with headphones without going through the computer and that avoids any latency (delay) problems.īut, I’ll warn you about one oddity when you’re using one mic into a stereo (or multi-channel) interface. I’m thinking of picking up a Focusrite Scarlett. …Just quickly checking, the mic is rated up to 132dB so it should never overload with voice. Low voltage could cause the head amp inside the mic to clip at a lower level than usual. My guess is that it’s the 48V phantom power from the interface. And if the mic turns-out NOT to be the problem, you’ll need a new interface and you can get one with more than one input.īlue Icicle interface - gain knob all the way down On the other hand, if you might want to use 2 mics someday and in that case it wouldn’t hurt to have another. The NT1 has a very good reputation so if it’s not broken you probably don’t need an upgrade. If you have to buy & try something new, I’d buy a new “upgraded” interface and you can probably make use of it no matter what. …You never really know what the problem is until it’s fixed. I think you’re right that it’s probably hardware. Similar behavior in a new recording, and the audio is recognizably “clippy” even though I’m getting nowhere near 0db.
