Having problems setting up for recording!

Sixxx · 05-28-2012, 09:56 AM

Hello good people!

I am having problems connecting my rig as my technical knowledge is non-existent..

This is my equpment and their outputs:
Line 6 Flextone 3 XL
Behringer XenyX 502
Standard motherboard outputs for audio

I would post pictures but I seem unable to :/

How should I connect everything so I can record?

Thank you!

Here's what I'd do:

Guitar to Behringer INPUT
Behringer Left OUTPUT to Line 6
Behringer Right OUTPUT to PC mic input (using a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter), and into a DAW like Audacity, then set the input in Audacity's Preferences to the PC mic, and adjust volume settings accordingly for Behringer/Line 6/PC. You'll probably have some latency issues with a standard mic unput, so you'll have to trim off some of (the beginning of) the track after recording. A good firewire or USB interface would correct that tho.

Voila! ancher good mang.
