Pickup Jack
How to plug in my spanish acoustic guitar with pickup to my pc?
I have a a Spanish acoustic guitar and have later on added a single pickup to it.But when i plug in the jack of the pickup to my computer’s mic socket no sound comes out! Is my connection method wrong or is it the wrong socket i have plugged in???
Your method is wrong, because it is missing a preamp or a DI box. You can’t just plug it into your computer, ’cause it doesn’t work that way.
And, did you get an electric guitar pickup, or an acoustic clip on pickup?
Your best bet is investing some money on a guitar amp that has line level out. Then you can run a cord from the line leve out of your guitar amp into the computer. You could pick up an ok amp for under $200. Even then, you would still have to go into Sounds and Audio Devices to set volume, etc.
Best of luck!
