This will (I hope) capture the amp's tone (but not the speaker's tone) without need of a microphone - it's good to try stuff.Īs for a good vocal mic. As an example, I'm building a speaker dummy load/simulator that will have an XLR line out. Until you've tried you don't know what you will like best. Devices that are "class compliant" don't need drivers, other then those built into Mac OS.īottom line is you need to keep your options open on how to record the guitar and for different kinds of guitar like acoustic, acoustic with pickup, electric with direct plug in and a mic'd speaker. This way you never have to wait and hope that new drivers are available after an OS upgrade.

One thing I look for is that the audio interface work on the Mac with no drivers to install.

I like the Presonsus "audio box" but any good brand with specs like that will work. But I'd go for an interface with two phantom powered XLR mic inputs then you can mic a guitar speaker cab or mic an acoustic guitar. If it's an electric guitar and you want to plugit in directly then you are OK. This is what I am looking at getting and I was just wondering on your opinions.

All I want to be able to record is my guitar and voice at the same time and also separately. Hey, I have a few questions regarding recording interface and mics.
