What special connection do you need to connect an electric guitar to a computer?

a 1/4" to mini plug adaptor that you can find at radio shack if you just want to go into your mic port.  something more advanced would be the line 6 guitar port.  aven more advanced would be the digi 002 unit.  it depends on how much you want to do with it once its there.

Yes - There are several ways to do this - the cheapest being to take a jack lead from the line out of your AMP to the line in on your computer sound card. You would need some recording software, a good free one is Audacity (see link)\n\nAnother great (but more costly) method of recording is via a USB interface, such as Line6's Guitar Port. This particular one eliminates the need for an Amp, and also provides some cool amp modeling and effects. This costs about £80 - £100.00 though - but in my opinion as a practice tool it is invaluble.\n\nFor a more spophisticated recording package I recommend Cakewalk guitar Tracks Pro, But at £140 it isn't cheap.\n\nHope this is of some help to you\n\nDave

If you have a calculator that is capable of it you will need a cable the goes from your computer to the calculator.. Like mine has a USB cable.. You will also need the necessary software to go with it ..

Sort of depends on how you connected it. If you used auxillary RCA plugs on your stereo and an adapter cable from the PC to the stereo there should not be a problem. If you tried to go in through a phono jack or unused set of plugs that were intended for some other device you may have enough of an impedence or signal strength mismatch to be causing the problem. Phono jacks for example expect a very, very small signal to be input. a PC inputs a much larger signal and would cause a lot of noise.\n\nCheap cables can also be a problem. A third source of noise can be that you are processing the signal twice. If you are using a software equalizer on your PC and a hardware equalizer on the home stereo then you are overprocessing the signal and that can cause a LOT of Noise!\n\nA ground loop isolater will only lessen or eliminate 60 cycle per second AC hum - like the hum you would get on a badly grounded guitar amplifier with single pole pickups, or the hum caused by flourescent lights. It will not reduce or eliminate any other kind of noise. \n\nWith more info about the nature of the background noise and the input, output and cords you are using someone might be able to give a better answer. Good luck. Finding and eliminating something like this can be a frustrating experience.

You should be able to buy a 1.5mm stereo jack to 2 phono plug cable pretty cheap: plug the 1.5mm jack into the Line Out socket of your Soundcard/Motherboard, and the phonos into either an Aux or Tape 2 input on your hi-fi amp.

This process is really not very difficult. I have converted all of my vinyl to digital over the years.\n\nYou can connect your turntable directly to your computer with the right cables. \n\nY-cable - 2) female phono to 1) mini (1/8") male (Radio Shack has these)\n\nPlug the 2 phono cables coming from your turntable into the 2 female phono cables. Plug the 1/8" mini cable into your "line in" input on your computer. Make sure you also attach your ground cable on your turntable (if you have one) to almost any grounding post (like a screw on the back of your computer)\n\nNow, all you need is some software. Something like DART CD-Recorder  ( http://www.dartpro.com/ ) Really easy to use and will automatically convert any analog signals (vinyl, cassettes, whatever) to digital files. \n\nUse your sound card on your computer as the mixing device for optimum gain control.\n\nNo need to be intimidated by this cuz it's much easier to do than describe. Do this one time, and you'll be setup and good to go.\n\nBy the way, you can do this with any component you have. Turntables, Cassette Decks, anything.\n\nIf you have problems - contact me. I'll try to walk you through it.

You'll need a digital-to-analog video adapter.  Any electronics store should have them, they're used for computer monitor connections all of the time (I have two at my desk).

A USB.\n\nEven Cordless headphones need a usb connect with the PC so that they can relay the info from PC to the headphones.

If it's an acoustic guitar, buying a mic will do it.  If it's an electric guitar purchase a guitar port.  You can get them for $99.00 from www.musiciansfriend.com.  With this you can use the computer to add effects, amp modeling and recording.  The next thing you will need is multi-track software like acid wave or n-tracks (which is cheaper).  You can download a demo of n-tracks, just run a google search.  Good luck!

You can try this site for help:\n\nhttp://www.1728.com/guitar.htm\n\nbut I suspect you're going to want to take it to a decent music shop that has very knowledgeable techs. This won't be a walk in the park for you.\n\nGood luck!\n\nKabum
