OK, I'm gonna show how little I know here. But that is the point, get smarter. I have been recording my electric guitar, and pleased with the results for now. The chain is: guitar - Line 6 Pocket Pod - GarageBand. Sounds brittle, it aint a tube sound but...ok for now.
I want to record my acoustic guitar into GarageBand. I have a Fishman pickup for acoustic, sounds good with tube amp, but running the acoustic guitar into the - Line 6 Pocket Pod - Garageband = kills the acoustic tone.
What do I need to mic the guitar and get it into GarageBand? Just a USB mic? An adapter for the Fishman to plug into the computer input? Do I need a pre-amp between the mic and computer?
Sorry to ask such a lame question but there is so much crap people are trying to sell - and computers evolve so fast. I'm on a Mac running OSX 10.5.8 and Garageband 5.1. I'm not looking to go all the way here, just get some decent results.
Here is a link to what I have done with out much effort so far, lots of fun: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defa...bandID=1044945
