difference between guitar pedals, processors, and plug into PC?
i m not all that technical when it comes to guitar electronics =.= i've been playing with all that buzz and feeback for a long time.
so basically... i was thinking of getting an ISP decimator noise suppressor.
but should i get a processor? then again i don't know how it works but if its a electronic device would it still pick up all that buzz and stuff? would a boss SE-50 with noise suppressor be better or an old fashioned pedal?
i plugged into a audigy soudcard and it still had that buzz sound, i recently got an apple macbook i heard u just have to get an amplifier, should i get a processor or a pedal for that? would garage band filter out that stupid buzz sound?
any advice would be appreciated, thx
If you plug your guitar straight into the computer, or out from a distortion pedal straight into the computer, you will hear the *unfiltered* sound of a distorted guitar signal. To make the guitar sound in your computer like a guitar that's being played through an amplifier you need one of two things - either hardware or software.
If hardware, you need either an amp with a simulated speaker output or a pedal that has the same - a multifx processor, say.
If software, you'll want a recording program that has vst support, and download some vst's that have some kind of speaker emulation or amp simulation with built-in speaker emulation.
A large part of the buzzy hissy trebly sound you're hearing is because the distorted sound hasn't been filtered by speakers. That's what speakers do, after all - they remove most of the high end that pedals and amplifiers produce.
The other problem you're probably experiencing is that you're plugging into your mic in or line in. I'm betting your sound card hasn't been upgraded.
A decent sound card can have a line in with a noise floor of -50db or less, but any sound card that comes stock with a computer will pretty much suck - my laptop's non-upgraded line in sounds pretty hissy, it has a noise floor of only -30 db!
Either upgrade your soundcard or get one of those USB interfaces.
