Stereo Adapter

[CriminalCypress]

Just bought a new cable, and this jack-adapter kind of thing came with it.







All i figured out is that it's a stereo adapter, but i don't know how I could use it.

is a TRS (stereo) 1/4" to 3/8" converter. It is normally used with headphones that have a 1/4" jack to connect them to a Ipod, laptop or home audio devices with headphone output.

Oh, i was hoping i would be able to record with this. What kind of adapter would i need to record straight to my PC with?

what gear do you have?
what bass, amp, soundcard, audio interface?

I guess it's a little more complicated than i thought.

Ibanez ATK, amp is Peavey TKO 75, Pretty sure i have on board sound (Realtek HD/Intel), and i'm not sure what you mean about AI but I do have Pro Tools pre-installed.

It is a bit more complicated, but doable.
People have gotten decent results using the line in of a soundcard and active basses. If your bass is active try getting an mono 1/4" to 3/8" adapter and plug into the line in of your soundcard, run any recording software and see what results you get.

Now an Audio interface is basically a soundcard, that is optimized for real time audio recording and has added features like mic preamplifiers, digital/analog audio converters, USB/fireire connectivity and more depending on the brand, model and price.
You can pick a used one on ebay for about 50 bucks and get decent results.
Line 6 GX, m-audio fast track or presonus audiobox are good options.

Ah okay, seems simple enough now. Thanks for the help!
