thegarehanman Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Are you sure you're getting an input signal. Perhaps you have to turn up the input gain. Are you using your pc's mic input or line in? It matters you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 It definitely matters. You cannot use it without a pre-amp. However, when people say they don't use one, what the really mean is that they're going directly into their soundcard's mic in, which DOES have a pre-amp.

Hughes Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 i used both the mic slot in the back and front but no preamp so what could i use as a preamp? i heard someone used a wah pedal so would i be able to use Danelectro distortion as one?

silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 try plugging it into the line in instead of the mic input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 the mic in already HAS a pre-amp. If you didn't hear anything, it may be because it's not enabled. Also, you might want to install an ASIO driver, if you can. Is it onboard sound, or an SB card? If it's onboard, there's a good chance you can get ASIO4ALL up and running (no link, but if you Google, you'll find it), which will sort out a lot of issues though you'll still have to make sure the input itself is enabled.

Hughes Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 ok ill give that a try, just a question, how do i enable it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 It all depends on your soundcard. In your control panel somewhere there should be an option for sound settings. Or maybe there's a "standalone" mixer that your soundcard uses. Somewhere in the soup of Windows config there will be an option to turn it on. Usually only one or the other is enabled by default. Your line in may be enabled, meaning the mic in is NOT. This is all just guesswork, though, not being right in front of your system.

feylya Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Do you have a small speaker icon in your System Tray(bottom right of the screen)? You may have to click a little left arrow to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feylya Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 OK then. Double click on that. Go to Options - Properties. Clicking Recording. Make sure all the options are clicked. Click ok. Select mic in or line in (whichever you have your guitar connected to). Turn the volume to full. Check to see if Guitar Rig works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Open up your volume control, and click on the drop down Options menu. Then check Advanced Controls. That will put an Advanced button under your mic controls. Click it and at the bottom under Other Controls make sure that the microphone boost is checked. I have to do this in order to get enough gain for my mic. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
