How Do You Use Effects While Your Guitar Is Plugged In?
 

Hey there,
straight to the point. We all know you can hook your your guitar with a adapter and a patch chord to yoru comp. Now you can play and such, but is there a program that will give you effects while you play? More Detail below...


Is there a software that will give you effects for your guitar on your computer? I know about Acid Pro that will give you effects, but it's after you've already recorded the track. I was wondering if tehre is a program that will give me the effect while I play it, and would be able to record it into sound recorder or anything. If there is can you please tell me the software please. Thanks for yoru time.

if you have a soundblaster Live or Audigy card, you can hook it to the line-in port and use the built in effects for your guitar. It's got auto-wah, grunge, metal, jazz, overdrive, classical, and a few others that have slipped my mind.

thanks buddy, I will check that out. Actually short after I put up this thread, I found a program called Guitar Rig 1.1 and it's pretty amazing, but it's 500 bucks. So, I guess thats out of the question. And I know this place isn't allowed to discussed pirating software. So, thanx cya

I was wondering what was available like this...it looks like there's a demo version of the Guitar Rig program:

A more expensive but very very cool way is how my brother does it. He bought a line six amp that with the right cable you can download all different types of tones and effects and download them to the amp.....well worth the money in my opinion

Thanks fellows,
it helped a lot, and take it easy

What merkerguitars said, there is a guitar pod you can get from Live 6 that has a bunch of effects and amp models.

You can prolly get it off of Ebay or www.musiciansfriend.com

Agreed. I used to do this all the time for some really wicked sounding effects. The only probelm I had was with the mono guitar output and stereo line in on my soundcard. I think I ended up using the microphone input or something like that to get the sound into both channels, then piped back out into my amp. Pretty cool stuff.
