Can I use this as an interface? meaning connect my guitar directly to a computer via USB and record, or do I need smth else? Thans

I have used it with audacity without a problem. The input can be a little low and you have to decrease the volume of any backing track you play with it.

The G2Nu/G2.1Nu operate as an audio interface, letting you record directly to a computer connected via USB cable. All your sound settings used during rehearsal or a live performance can be recorded onto your DAW software. Here is link to their website: http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/g2nu Good luck.

Hi, this isn't a USB mixer, you may connect it to your computer with a USB interface.

I can record my guitar on tracks 1 or 2 via a 1/4 inch input jack. I you have the same type input jack (as used to connect a guitar to an amplifier), it should work with no problem.

Yes you can plug this in to an audio interface. You will not need a standard mic cable, although it would be beneficial to have one depending on your interface. If the interface has both 1/4 inch and XLR jacks or a combo, you are good to go.

Hook up yes, will it work, I cant promise anything. It's heavily implied for mic usage so I don't know how it would handle a guitar, I'd suggest checking out their site http://bluemic.com maybe send them an email if you cant find what you're looking for. Blue's really big on mics, I know if they do anything other than that though.

You want a sound interface to connect this to a PC and to input instruments - I use this one - Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Recording Audio Interface

I agree with the first person who answered your question. And, yes, you do need an interface (which changes the analog signal of your mic into a digital signal for your computer). I use the Lexicon Alpha...it's cheaper than the Scarlett and does the job; however, it does NOT have phantom power (which your mic needs), but if you're going to get the DBX 286s (which is fantastic preamp/processor, by the way), then that problem will be taken care of. If you decide not to get the dbx unit, then the Scarlett 2i4 interface is the way to go.

Windows sees it as a USB microphone and no drivers were needed. So basically you can use you computer as an amp. Or... you can even plug the guitar and record it using any windows audio recording program. Or... you can plug in a regular mic in at the same time and record yourself singing and playing the guitar.

Sorry, but I can't help you. I bought this for my grandson and he only uses it to play music and hasn't tried to record or interface with a computer.

If your guitar is a simple one or a cheap one then yes would be my answer - assuming you mean guitar-&gt; pre amp-&gt; USB interface. If using better quality equipment or you have a humbucker pickup on your guitar then you may get too much signal resulting in some unwanted distortion.

Absolutely can you do that! Plugging straight into the Line-in (or mic) socket is how I first recorded my guitar. Do this for some time and you will realise two things: 1, there is background noise or buzzing leaking into the sound and 2, you lose some of the full guitar sound. The USB guitar Link removes noise (because the sound is converted to digital) and allows more guitar sound to the recording stage. There are much better ones than this but this is the best and cheapest starting point.

Sure you can.but remember, to input your guitar sound you need not only just software, instrument microphone and audio interface is also needed

I looked at the mixer and it looks like the usb is only for plugging in mp3 players. You need a audio interface to connect to a laptop I use Roland UA-1G whith my laptop. Sorry for my first response I always just assumed that was what it was for.

I bought a MIDI to USB connector, but I could never get it to actually connect to my computer. Also, it only has an output, not an input.

Yes it plugs straight in and works once it sets up the driver. You can use it with Audacity, but there is latency so if you plan to record, lay the guitar track down first without headphones!

If you connect a usb to it, you can record music to your usb, but if you have a computer or what not, you are better of. The moment I took it out of the box, I knew it was not what I wanted, so I immediately put it back in the box and sent it back.

No, well maybe. I'm not exactly sure what you're saying. It's an audio/midi interface and can only be used as an external sound card of sorts. It allows you to pass/tweek various types of signals through it to your computer and from your computer into monitors(speakers). So if you're using "tractor" on a computer you may need this to run the sound from your computer into external speakers depending on how your speakers connect. If you wanted to use an external keyboard or dj controller you may need this as well if your controller doesn't have interface functions. If you plan on doing any live recording vocals/guitar/drums/etc. than this is a must have. If you need further clarification just ask. No, well maybe. I'm not exactly sure what you're saying.
