i listen to rock,idm,jazz whatever and i play guitar pretty
well and i'd like to join my passion for guitar and
electronica.
i have some programs like acid,soundforge and floops
what's the best software to process guitar?
maybe sound forge?
thank you very much for your help.

I reckon soundforge would be good for that

Do you want to your laptop as a sort of live fx pedal for it
or for editing recorded guitar stuff?

about recording is the quality of the mic very important?i
have a crappy mic and the sound becomes really flat but i
think this is for the digital process.
because when i rec on tape the sound has much more depth

the mic quality sure as hell makes a difference - I found
soundforge to be better than Cool Edit for "cleaning" up the
sound, but still, you'd want a reasonably expensive mic for
quality :)

probably between £50 and £100 (sterling) will get you a
semi-decent mic -- I don't know what that is in lira! :)

yes in fact the things i've recorded are pretty lo fi
i have to separate some tracks.the problem is that i
recorded some session i did with my akai loop recorder
pedal(TOTALLY KICK ASS PEDAL,YOU HAVE NO IDEA) and they're
good but a bit messy in places.i think i'll re-record the
part separated and work on single track with soundforge.

I'd get some kind of DI box or if you wanna splash the cash
get an amp simulator like a behringer v-amp or digitech
genesis 3 to give you a direct line into your laptop....

For software use something like reaktor or audiomulch for
some realtime effect mangling and recording.

slint, get a pre-amp (do a search for "audio buddy") to
input ur guitar straight into the laptop, if its an electric
or electro-acoustic that is!

if you are interested in some inspiration...

check out kieth fullerton whitman...

his albums "playthroughs" was basically all done with a
guitar, proccessed through his laptop... beautiful drone,
minimalistic ambience.

lush as hell.

i find him more contemplative and relaxing then fennesz....
fennesz kind of has this roughness to it (not a bad way...
just its got this feeling to it... a crunch... bah I dont
know how to describe it...)

its got a crunch to it like its da real deal yo!

keith fullerton whitman (aka hrvatski) is one talented guy,
haven't heard much k.f.w. stuff, but swarm & dither is
magnificient, although a tad more than just guitar at times.
