How do you store a Live Feed from a guitar

[Gregory P. Ennis]

Everyone,

I finally have enough time to play with my computer and guitar at the
same time.  Does anyone have a method of storing a live feed from a
guitar.  I have a guitar with an acoustic pickup that I normally use
with a regular amplifier.  I now have a usb audio cable from Alesis
LineLink that I can use to connect my Fedora 22 machine to the acoustic
pick up of the guitar.

I connected the usb audio cable to the computer and to my guitar, but
was not able to get any software that that was on my F22 machine to
recognize the the live feed.

Have any of you used this kind of equipment or other kinds of equipment
to store a live feed from a guitar acoustic pickup.  I would like to be
able to play and store a song or two and then experiment with mixing
the sounds.

Any suggestions????

I have seen ads for a setup that will record vinyl records from a turntable
onto a PC thru a gizmo plugged into the USB port. If you were to find any
of the software that works with this, it may work with your guitar also.
You might need some sort of preamp between the guitar and the usb device,
but if it wants to work, you should hear _something_.

How about Audacity? I've used it to record voice announcements. It may 
look like overkill at first but you can do a lot with it, it's an audio 
editor.

Yes, audacity should work for basic recording (assuming that when Greg
says "but was not able to get any software that that was on my F22
machine to recognize the the live feed" he just means he couldn't find
software to do it, not that the USB capture device isn't working).

For more complicated work a DAW like Ardour (available in the repos)
will let you record different layers and samples, but you'll have to
use Jack. That will also let you do things like add effects and other
stuff like drum machines (e.g. Hydrogen). You may want to check out
these which I wrote a while back:

Hi, if allowed, I suggest you to take a look at "karma". You will find all
that's needed to begin here: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/

Hope this helps!
