Laptop, desktop?

Most laptops only have two jacks. One for input, and one for output. First make sure you are atleast hooked up to the input jack, then set the jack to linein and not mic.

If you have a desktop you should have 3 seperate inputs or 6. One of them is specifically for line in.

Finally set your recorder to record from linein.

hey thanks man..i sincerely apologize for the hieght of my ignorance..haha, but ive got a couple more questions..do i set the thing to line in with adobe audition, or windows sound recorder, r' whatever? also, what does the line in jack look like? i stuck my patch cord in the pink hole..lol...am i in the wrong place?
thanks again

oh...and im using a desktop

The Pink is generally for mic in, green is speaker out and blue I believe is line in.

I am not sure, but a good place to start would be to set line in as the recording input in windows and then set it for that in Adobe, you also might need to adjust the levels.

dont worry tai the sketch is comin along..lol why did you plan on getting that tat tomorrow or somethin?
i plugged my amp in the line in jack..set the windows shit to line in..didnt work..now my computer only pics up the sounds it makes(like my msn sounds and shit) and now, i unplugged my amp, and just said **** it..tried to plug it into my guitar..doesnt work..no connection what so ever, no static on the patch chord..its fried?!?! what hte ffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I think u need a mixer...

my turntables.. go thru a mixer, and the mixer has RCA Jacks, but they go into a convertor that makes them the lil jack n plugged into the MIC IN.

I dont hook up my amp when i hook up to the computer..

but it can be done prolly. but you would still need a mixer maybe..

[lpicken]

You need to get an USB converter. Goung throgh an 1/8" jack will never work.

my pedal has a USB hook up for connecting it to a computer..thats what they say to use in the manual..but i tried that too...doesnt do anything, all i get is the sounds the computer makes when im recording..like msn sounds and shit. goddamn this is driving me ****in insane.
the pedal also has a button that says "MIXER"..hell ile take a picture to show what im workin with

[thetank]

heres a pic of the back of my pedal....

heres the front..and an expression of how this pedal makes me feel..considerabley distressed.

OH!..

DOOD..

i remember now..

When u record u have to go to ACCESORIES - VOLUME CONTROL..

hopefully I'm givin these instructions right off the top of my head..

but U put WAVE on MUTE i believe...

U put your instrument into Line-In as someone mentioned earlier, or microphone.

but certain things need to be muted out there, and other volume has to be set up.
