Hi folks,
I'm emitremmus. I don't know if this section is the right for my thread.

I've a Firewire Audio capture the Edirol FA-66 properly installed on my os (win xp sp2).
I've an electric guitar by Hamer (a Slammer - Pacer with two humbucker an a single coil) and a small transistor amplifier by Marshall (an MG Series 10CD).
I use Audition 2 to record the guitar samples.

Well if I plu the guitar directly to the Edirol device, I can recorder (at all supported size... 44KHz to 192KHz at 24bit... even if the elevate resolution and minor latency required a best performance cpu (like dual core) that I don't have).

The problem is if i plug the guitar to the amplifier and out from it to plug into the Edirol. (I've two possibility to line out from the amp: or by headphone out, or from the line out). I've choose first the lineout and then the headphone out, but the result is the same... I can't recorder...

Seems that the signal don't pass, 'cause while the Audition's timeline goes and I play, no waves are recorder...

My questions is these: How I can use an amply in my recording? (I want to use the amp, 'cause have a good overdrive for crunch heavy sounds riff, that via software I cannot reach...)

Thanks to all, my friends.

PS: the thing more strange is that if I plug the headphone to the headphone out I can hear the sound in mono, but why i can register it with the soundcard?

Sorry for my poor english I hope you understand me...

I think you answered your own question. Maybe the soundcard is detecting that the input signal is mono, and you're asking to record in stereo.

There isn't anything strange from that setup, that i can think of .

ciao JAZ

well I think that every soundcard acquire the input as mono...

but why I can recorder directly and not recorder go through another device?
When I recording directly the input is mono...

I don't understand this...

You problem isn't computing to me either. If you have a signal, which you can detect on headphones, you should be able to record it.

I don't know your particular soundcard, but with most soundcards, when you record in mono, one particular channel (either the right or the left) is always used; the other channel is ignored. If the output wiring of your amplifier is somehow such that it doesn't deliver the signal to the side that the soundcard demands, there would be no signal to record.

the forum is devoted to Audition and many people who record frequent it.

Well... yeah Andy you're right I don't have think about that but maybe it's right... damn! I can't rec my overdrivesss...

however thks.
