Not a normal guitar, because it’s an analog/acoustic device with no MIDI interface. But guitars with MIDI OUT do exist and with a pitch-to-MIDI converter you can play synth sounds with a guitar. This is called guitar synth and is mainly Roland’s market afaik.
It’s a digital protocol or “language” telling musical instruments what to do. When you hit a key on a MIDI keyboard, it sends data out the “MIDI OUT” plug describing which key you hit, how hard you hit it and then again when you release the key. Playing the keys creates a stream of MIDI data describing what is played. A MIDI sequencer can record and manage MIDI data and its timing. If you record something playing a piano sound, you can play back the same data using another sound.
How do we record our guitar on it. do i need a DI box or something? ive been trying to get it to work but it hasnt been, if anyone could help that would be great thanks.
There is a difference between sound input bit-depth and sound processing, the later needs at least double the bit-depth to maintain sound quality, talking chain-processing, when a 24bit sample gets truncated and dithered on every process in the chain it get coarse compared with processing the whole chain in higher bit-depth and truncating the audio sample only at the output end.
Is the “Missing Models” thing on the Line 6 module an indicator to show that a preset can’t be accessed (because the Line 6 interface isn’t connected)?
explain me this then: when a sound is samples on 24bit, 44khz, how will 64 bit make it sound better? 64 bit does not perse make your ‘songs’, or ‘sound’ sound better. It depends on the source. Most NN-XT samples (just to name a source here) are based on 16bit or 24bit. They won’t by definition sound better parsed through a 64bit sound engine. since it interpretates 24 bit to 64 bit (making it bitwise longer) yet the output is the same value. Bits don’t always mean everything
Record comes with a mixer. That 16:2 was a pain in the ass to work with. You had to patch like 12 eq modules and compressors and it still had a cheap sound to it. This is new 64 bit and will make your reason songs sound a lot better.
Plus everything is build in the channel strip. All the tools there. In front of me. All the time. Much better way of working imo.

U don’t need an amp at all and it comes out the computer speakers. You need a 1/4″ to USB or 1/4″ to line-in cable though.
The 1/4″ is the plug that goes into guitar/base.

Into the pod
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
im confused
u dont need an amp for this recording or not?
and if u dont, the sound comes out of the computer speakers
this may sound stupid i guess ha

hey man I have the same interface M-Audio FastTrack PRO, but I am a n00b at midi what does that do??
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
no, but you can use rewire.
thats good enough.
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
Im confused… “just plug in your guitar” Does that mean into the pod or somehow into the computer….. Anybody?
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
Is it posible to use a Zoom H4 Handy Recorder to plug in your Guitar into reason Record ??
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
guys I wouldn’t buy anything cheaper than a EDIROL UA-4 FX or the CAKEWALK UA-1G USB Audio Interface
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
Would an alesis usb mixer work in conjunction with record?
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
go to edit – scroll down to preferences
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
do you need an external interface to plug into??????
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
dude my m-audio is not being recognized in Record. How did you get it to be recognized?
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
so you would just save the guitar loop and its that easy?
and does the micro software come with the line 6 pod?
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
Still No Vst’s :/ WHY REASON WHY!
February 10th, 2010 at 1:04 am
I use an M-Audio FastTrack Pro as my MIDI/Audio input. Record RULES.

The iGuitar Workshop is now performing built-in USB and built-in
13 upgrades on most types of guitars to help simplify the music creation process.
