How this software works can make a big difference in how the unit works.

But I just plowed through a lot of this for a desktop interface and settled on a Focusrite product.Īside from the hardware, they all will have some sort of mixer app for controlling the unit. They seem more iOS oriented.īut if you want other options like line in, or mic connections, then more general purposes audio interfaces are the way to go. Though I use mine with my Win 8 notebook, I'm not 100% sure all are PC/Win compatible. Well, you could go with the iRig, that's what they're for. I know it wont be super great recording quality stuff, but this is just for sitting around and playing to myself. I really just want to be able to play with headphones and get a wide variety of tones and effects. Or maybe Id be better off getting a small amp modeler/effect processor like a Line6 Pod or something? Im a total noob at this so if someone could school me a bit and give me a recommendation to get this working Id appreciate it. Could it be the cooling fan causing interference or some other issue with a laptop? Some people say they work perfectly right out of the box, some people say they got them to work after messing with it for a while, and other people say theyre garbage and dont work at all.Īnyone have a recommendation for a way to connect my guitar to my laptop that will work and wont cost me a ton of money? (looking to spend no more than around $80 if I can avoid it).Īlso another thing Im seeing is even when theres nothing plugged into my mic input when Amplitube is up its still pushing out this real electric sounding squeal/crackling.

Ive been looking these up on amazon and theres mixed reviews (this is the one Ive been looking at. So now I guess the next step is getting a guitar usb interface. Ive tried connecting the guitar straight into the microphone input of my PC and that doesnt work, so I tried connecting the guitar to my shitty little amp then running a cable out from the headphone output and into the microphone input on the laptop and that doesnt work. So Ive got Amplitube 3 that I just installed and Im trying to connect my guitar to my laptop to get it going, but so far Im having trouble.
