Welcome to Gaia! ::

There is this cord that runs from your guitar, straight into the computer. I only know of one brand and it's called 'Stealth' and I was wondering if anyone here knew if there are any cheaper versions that don't cost $100 gonk

I hate to say it, but anything in the audio world is going to cost you if you want anything close to decent quality. 100$ is a small amount to shell out for equipment. You'd pay that much for a decent guitar pedal or pickup.

if you're going to get into home recording, you're going to need to spend a lot more than 100 bucks razz

idk about that but you can get a digitech 150 250 or 350 to record to your computer. i have the 250. best pedal i will ever use and i also use it to record.

I've tried different cables, and with higher gauge, better insulated, better ends cables youll get a clearer sound because more of the signal can make the journey and my friend views cables like you, where he just gets cheap ones, and his cables hum when they touch the ground and pick up radio signals when you hold them up. So yes, there is some reason to buy more quality cables, if anything theyll last much longer and save you money simply on their long life.


As for one that goes to the computer. I'm not sure if he means its got a usb end or what, but it sounds like its supposed to replace a guitar-computer interface. I got my interface for less than 100$ though and it probably sounds better...

washburn lightsnake. it's a 1/4" to USB cable. runs about 40 bucks.

should do ya fine, i use it to record.
