Recording guitar into computer, plugins etc – how do they work?

276 viewsOtherTechnology

I’m not the most technologically minded o people, and it’s hard to get a clear answer in a single place – how does someone connect guitars/bass to a computer to record? And then where do things like DSPs and plugins come in?

The simple version is to use a USB to guitar cable to connect to your PC and then use a piece of software to do the capturing of audio. It’s the same process as if you were recording your voice with a microphone. The software can also add effects much like a pedal would. I don’t have a specific recommendation.

I’m sure professionals have a more complicated multi-layered setup, but it essentially boils down to the same thing.
