[linux-audio-user] Direct In

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello.

I am something of an old-school rocker, not so much of a 
digital-techno-looper (although that stuff sounds fun too).  I am 
curious to hear how you guitarists out there handle your sound.  Do you 
all go direct in now?  Or do some of you still mic your cabnet?  I still 
have not gotten my system together because of extenuating circumstances, 
so I am still of the old school (namely, tape).  When last I tried 
(about 10 years ago) there was no good (and affordable) way to go 
direct.  Has that problem been solved in the modern Linux recording world?

My friend recently purchased an "all-in-one" unit from Roland, a 24 
track 24 bit digital recorder, that cost him about $2,500 I think 
(excluding cabling, mics etc).  He says he goes direct -- and not only 
direct but totally clean.  All effects, including distortion are added 
after the fact. He goes from his guitar into his recorder!  This sure 
seems strange to me, although I can understand the logic there.  Is this 
what you guys do?

I would love to hear how you all handle this.  :0)


Thanks!

Chris
