How to Make a USB Electric Guitar
- 1). Purchase or rent a guitar USB adapter. This is a box that looks similar to a preamplifier (also known as preamp) that takes a guitar's input and translates the signal to a format that a computer's USB drive can register.
- 2). Insert the installation CD that came with the USB adapter into the recording computer. Follow the instructions for installing the USB audio driver. This is necessary for using the device properly.
- 3). Plug the guitar into the USB adapter and connect the adapter into the computer's USB port.
- 4). Launch the audio recording software on the computer.
- 5). Go to the program's audio input/output settings and select the USB ASIO device (which should appear in the window). It varies from program to program how to do this.
