@122Damra9 years ago Hey, amazing video. I have a question. I'm thinking to buy Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio int. sound card. I have w8.1 really good specs laptop. I will be using gibson lespaul 490 498 pickups, recording with shure sm57. I heard there will be always annoying clipping and latency issues with focusrite scarlett series. is that true? Even if I use microphone from amp and select line on audio card? Also I have 1 more question may be dumb but do I need di box if I'm recording my guitar with (Guitar+amp+mic+sound card+laptop) ? I heard you only need di box if you want to connect your guitar directly to sound card without amp model or direct to mix, laptop etc. but I'm not sure its good to use on miking amp too. Sorry for my bad english. Thanks. Have a good day! ... 1

@

@Radiffi9 years ago Hi Marcus. Nice video, well presented and informative. I wonder if you could please tell me is there a big difference in recorded sound quality between the audio interface and a usb cable? I have the usb, and find the quality okay but find latency a problem. Is there any issue with this when using the interface? I’m guessing that the audio interface is the better, more professional option. Be great if you could help me.
Cheers, Sam. ...

@MarcusHobbsOfficial11 years ago if your using a pc then get 'audacity' or if on mac then use 'garageband' and import the backing track into the software as an audio track. Then its as simple as putting headphones on when your recording your guitar to avoid spill between the backing track and your live recording. Hope that helps ...

@playstionrules0311 years ago Great video, very helpful. I'd be grateful for your advice, I'm trying to record my guitar on Cubase, I've got a jack lead coming out from the Emulated Output socket on the back of a Blackstar amp which leads onto a jack to aux adapter so I can then plug that in to the microphone socket on my computer. I am able to record but the sound quality isn't great and I'm assuming that's because I'm just using a small adapter instead of having a DI box or something in between? Thanks a lot :) ...

I'm about to invest into some recording equipment but I'm on the fence about whether or not I should get an audio interface (plugging guitar straight into the AI), a mic (USB-mic in front of amp directly into PC) or both (mic -> AI -> PC). Do you have any tips? ...

@

@Choppin994610 years ago well my amp (Peavey vypyr VIP) has an usb jack which allows me to connect the amplifier to computer and it acts as a audio interface, but the output is so lack of mid-range and sounds like it came out from an amplifier head instead the sound of the amplifier itself.
Is there anything I can do about it? like buying a real audio interface or twerk around the EQ control? ...

@laggEcss11 years ago So I was wondering if I buy a 3.5mm jack cable to a guitar jack, can I just simply plug this in to my internal sound card microphone input on my desktop pc? Or is there another way that I can do this without buying an external soundcard? Thanks ...

In recent internet searching I've gathered that this recorder might not be the best for this purpose, but I'm not sure I want to buy an additional recorder unless it's going to have a massive impact. Suggestions to what I should do/ what I'm doing wrong? ...

@

@MarcusHobbsOfficial11 years ago ye if your running an audio interface (AI) then it doesnt matter what soundcard you have because the actual sound is sent straight from the mic into your AI then through whatever recording software your using and that is the sound being recorded. Your soundcard only comes into play when your listening back to the recording and if you buy a decent AI you can even bypass your soundcard then and listen to your recording and all other audio through your AI. Hope that makes sense and helps mate. ... 2

@p_12108 years ago Can you mic up your own amp and cab with sm57 into say an irig pro or other interface with good results without using shitty plugins like amplitude?
@

@Flashbackuk5 years ago The best way to di your guitar is to use a Behringer line input box or similar. They do one that has six channels and is a rack mount unit. It will accept up to 3000 watts from the speaker socket on your amp and it loads your amp correctly too. That way you get the sound of your amp. You can adjust the EQ to compensate for the lack of a speaker in the chain on your mixer if you have one. If not then do it on your daw. I haven’t found any other method that works as well as this. This is fine on clean sounds but overdrive is a different kettle of fish. It always sounds fizzy. ...

@LostFanFiction10 years ago Hi Marcus.
I really enjoyed your video. I have liked and subscribed.
If you have the time, I have a couple of questions for you. To begin with, what Condenser Mic are you using? Do you recommend it, or any other ones?
In your second example, you are shown using the Focusrite Sapphire- is that setup simply Guitar>Audio Interface>PC... or is it Guitar>Amp>Audio Interface>PC ..?
If money was no object, do you think you could get any higher quality sound from a more expensive Audio Interface? Or would it be simply wasting money to get a more expensive one?
Finally, how much of a role do you think the actual guitar itself plays in terms of sound quality?
I'd really appreciate it if you had the time to answer. ...
