I've just finished composing multi-channel guitar track using only computer and my Epiphone Les Paul Special II connected via line-in of one of the the sound cards. The purpose if this experiment is to show how you can hook up your guitar to your computer and be able to turn it into a music recording station. This is useful if you are a hobbyist who doesn't want to spend a lot buying expensive hardware that does the purpose - or if you simply want to play your guitar using your favorite guitar effects without needing costly gear. It is possible to eliminate the guitar amplifier if you have decent computer sound system or headphone. I am going to update this post and put more detail about this project later with all the information you might need to set up one of your own.
For now enjoy listening to these short tracks that I composed:
Perfect Jingle.mp3 : Created using RHCP Type clean guitar solo performed in blues scale (my best effort to sound good playing solo). Note that the delay was caused by about .15 - .30 ms latency due to the loopback guitar input through line-in (which is basically slow) and delay due to processing the effects by CPU (making it even more slower) which basically screwed up timing of the lead.
Perfect Jingle - (Without Solo).mp3 : You can add your own guitar or any other instrument solo to this file.
Distribution of theses files as well as modifying the content as long as original composition credit is unaltered is permitted.
The rhythm chords are Am, Dm, G, Cadd9 and (Cadd9/E7 each strummed once towards the end) played in order.
If you've created anything special by using above file(s) then you can upload the content to the web and can share its link with me and other readers of this site. I used http://www.hotlinkfiles.com, which of course lets you hot link the freely hosted multimedia contents (Nice!). If you want to use it just for one time and don't care if the contents will be made available to public, in that case you'll be better off using public uploading feature in the site that lets you skip the entire registration process.
You can contact me regarding any of the issues/suggestions in this or any other article.
