I am having problems recording my acoustic guitar properly all I hear is the strings being struck.?
I use a Yamaha FX 335 acoustic electric guitar, it has a beautiful sound unplugged and provides precisely the tone I am looking for.
In the past, using cheaper guitars - I have rigged 1/4" to 1/8" jacks to input my guitar directly to my computer to great success. Since upgrading both my computer (to a 3.1 Quad Core Intel, w/ 3gb DDR2) and my guitar - the old methods do not work.
When I use my (now store bought) 1/4 to 1/8 cable to direct input my acoustic - the sound warbles in and out like an oscillation wave - just enough to remove the natural acoustic sound. I have used an amp to power the sound and the oscillation is still there. I have also ran my guitar through a Fender Frontman 220, alternating between using the pre-out into my computer and using a more standard approach (dropping a mic in front of the Frontman) and none of these work. I still suffer from a horrible wave and worst yet, my sound sounds compressed and muted, overpowered by strings being struck. I use Acid 6.0
Make sure your 9 volt (if you have one, i have one in my yamaha) guitar is fresh. Maybe try new quality cables as well. It would be a good idea to use a preamp before going into your computer, or guitar software like the line 6 toneport. I use that with very good results, and its not very pricey at all. Good luck.
