Members -Assy- Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 My situation : Can't make noise in my house, people sleep early and wake up early, my only time to play is at night. I have a really expensive 7.1 headset for gaming that does audio really well, I am not a perfectionist, I just want to be able to play along to tracks. How do I use my laptop as a monitor (play my guitar through the speakers, and thus, into my USB headset, WHILE playing along to my computer audio (guitar pro/spotify/etc) and have it sound somewhat decent?

Members diocide Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 You need some sort of audio program, like reaper. Load the backing track into repeat n one channel, then add your guitar in another channel, mix them accordingly and your good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is using my computer as a monitor, every time I've tried that before the audio is mega distorted, recording isn't even possible. I get it to SOUND good through the speakers, and when I record it it sounds like a mentally disabled hyena {censored}ing a record player that is spinning iron maiden backwards.And no it isn't my playing making it sound like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KCTigerChief Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 Are you just plugging your guitar directly into your "mic jack" in the computer?If so that is your problem. You need an interface with a preamp (I guess you don't technically NEED one, but it will help you out)...Then load impulses, amp sims etc in your DAW and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke them all at the gym (sweat damage) so I ended up dropping big bucks on some sweat-proof bluetooth earbuds Should be cheap enough to pick up a pair of skull candy or something though. or maybe I will check woot.
