I think I saw a question like this a while ago on experts exchange , I think in the end the guy used an amplifier and connected the output of that or his guitar ( cant remember which and im sure you will know more then I do ) to the line in of his machine and as for recording I suggest audacity :\n\nhttp://audacity.sourceforge.net/\n\nIf you need more help or there is something missing post back and I will dig out the article and copy n paste it for you :)

its very easy .. just have a stereo jack cable , plug one end in your stereo AUX and one end in the line out  computer, see , there are 3 points in your computer on the back of CPU or even in front of it, one is for mic, one is for speaker and one is for something else .. you have to connect your stereo in the speaker jack of your computer .. it will play ..

A dynamic mic like a Shure SM57 or SM58 isn't the best sort of mic for recording acoustic guitar.  You would get better results with a condenser mic - there are some pretty good ones available in the £100-150 price range.  These mics are more sensitive than dynamic mics and are better suited to picking up the subtle nuances of an acoustic guitar.\n\nHowever, beware, some condensers need to have external "phantom" powering which your PC interface may not provide.  Some can be battery powered which would get around that problem.\n\nWhen miking a guitar don't point the mic at the soundhole - this will tend to be very boomy.  Either try pointing the mic at the point where the neck meets the body but angled a bit towards the bridge or try pointing it at the soundboard between the bridge and the end of the guitar rom between 6 and 18 inches away.  Both tend to give pretty good representations of the sound of an acoustic.\n\nYour might want to try out these miking positions with your Shure mike to see if they improve the sound before splashing out on a new mic.\n\nHere's a few articles on recording acoustic guitar.  A Google search should throw up a load more...\n\nhttp://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Aug01/articles/recacgtr0801.asp\nhttp://www.humbuckermusic.com/acguitrectec.html\nhttp://www.pcmus.com/RECacou.htm

Assuming that you have one already - connect it to the computer, install the appropriate drivers, test it (it should have a program bundled with it). If it has a mic - just test the volume with Windows Audio devices, in control Panel, if not - buy one, and do the same procedures as you did with your web cam.

There are a number programs that will record directly from your sound card. I used to use aaa real recorder (but it could only output WAV files - maybe the latest version has support for MP3s)

Hi:  I use a free program called AUDACITY. You can record (into your sound card) from a microphone, or a cassette player or both to your computer. Then play back your recording with windows media player.  It's kinda tricky but after using it a few times you will get the hang of it, it works very well.  And it's FREE.

you will need to plug a mic into the back of your PC or get a usb mic. most web cams come with inbuilt mic. go to the help option in audacity to read the tutorials.

You want to record FROM the computer TO a cassette? Then ignore the other responses, because you want a patch cable that will run from the line out of your computer to the line in or mic of your cassette recorder. All you have to do is connect your soundcard to your cassette recorder and then play the material back on your computer as you record it on the cassette. You can even put together a playlist and play back as many minutes of audio as a side of a tape will hold.\n\nHowever, the other resonses are correct in that you probably are better off burning the material to CD and getting an inexpensive portable CD player. Good luck.

Go to Illustrate.com @  www.dbpoweramp.com \nDownload 'dbpoweramp' along with the 'Auxiliary Input' addition.\nThis program will allow you to play a cassette (or LP etc.) through your stereo INTO your computer and record the results onto  your hard drive - convert to mp3, ogg vorbis, etc. or burn to disk.  I am a recording engineer, and this is one of the easiest and best 'user friendly' audo conversion apps out there.  Excellent tutorials with easy to understand 'how to' graphics.  Best of all....it's FREE! FREE FREE FREE...........YIPPEE!!\nHave fun,\nwally space\nLost in Space Studios

If you can play the video in full screen. You can try the prog FastCap at http://www.ejoystudio.com to capture the video on line for you. It captures both audio and video.

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
