Back in the day, you pressed Record and Play on the cassette recorder and hey presto, you could record anythingā¦ā¦.and that is about all I know about recording!
With the upcoming Blim course Iāve decided itās time I started recording my playing. Audio only - thereās no way in the world Iām going to attack myself with a camera! Aargh!!!
Soā¦ā¦ I need the good folks of the community to help me set up a recording system, if you would please. And please keep your answers simple and straight forward cos I know nowt about it!
All I have at the moment is my phone and I know it isnāt enough.
All I want to do is be able to play a backing track through my amp and play guitar to it and record it all and then post the odd recording or two on here.
I believe I need an Audio Interface (whatever that is) and a DAW (whatever that is).
I also need transcribing software and then thereās Guitar Pro (whatever that is).
Hang on, I need a break now. My cells are fogging over just writing this. ā¦.whereās the kettle!
Okay, thatās better!
I believe I can get a cable to connect phone to amp for playing btās, although storing three volumes of JG jam tracks on my phone may clogg it up. So Iāll consider getting a Laptop.
Is it possible to store btās on a Laptop, play them through the amp and record back onto the Laptop? Justin mentioned needing two devices?
I also believe that my amp - Boss Katana Artist - will act as an Audio Interface. Hereās a pic of the back panel.
So folks, what do I need and how do I use it??
