Anybody Doing This ?

the lightsnake is prob the easiest. it comes with software to record too. its at guitarcenter or anywhere prettymuch. good luck in your ventures

ps: this is in the wrong forum i think but im relatively new so just wait for an elite to help you change it i guess

 

You could just get a quarter inch to whatever-headphone-size-is adapter and use Windows sound recorder. People say it won't sound great, but it doesn't sound bad. It will distort easily, so keep you volume below 8 and keep your playing even. To extend the sound recorder time, record a full blank track and insert it until it's long enough.

 

+1 for using a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter, that's what I do. Also, Audacity is better than windows sound recorder. It's free and records all you want.

Got an Imac?
Get a patch cord at guitar center; quarter inch guitar end to 1/8 inch stereo.
Record anything you want to listen to into Garage Band on one track by playing a CD in real time into a track.
Play along with it onto another track.

You can pick which track you want to hear afterwards and listen to yourself playing the part.

Great program!!!!

 

Behringer UCG102 Guitar Link. Plug into your USB port, plug the Bass (or Guitar, or Keyboard, or whatever) into it and, et voila, you have an audio input. Use the headphone out on the UCG102 and (on my Mac, anyway) latency is negligible.

One 1/4" input, and a 1/4" headphone out. Excellent value for money.

Does the job fine.

 

I picked up a small mixer for my daughter when she went to uni and wanted to bring her bass. Laptop and bass into mixer. Separate volume and eq.

 

This is what I do.

On a Windows computer just use Audacity
