How do you record a bass guitar on your computer?

The REAL Answer

If you're new to Recording, I recommend you use the sound recorder mentioned below. Otherwise, go to audacity.sourceforge.net/ It is called Audacity and it is has far better quality than microsoft's cheap pos. It is pretty simple and it has unlimited recording time and it can save ti mp3 wav and ogg instead of just wav. Basically, Audacity kicks the crap out of sound recorder

Answer

click on start, all programs, accessories, entertainment, sound recorder and play yer guitar its as simple as that limited time though, or look at real player it has a recording facility as well,

hope this helps get things rolling

Answer

well, what i do, is i have a recording device( logitech webcam....i know, that sucks, but it still does for now, i can get some pretty clean and clear sounds, even with distortion)...and it also helps to have a recording software if you want to record more then one guitar or bass by, well, recording one thing at a time and playing it at the same time....i use audacity, u can fix up your sound once recorded and add effects and such...you can even directly plugyour guitar into the input on the back of your p.c.....but that requires a pre-amp

Answer

Take one piece of recording software (ie, Cubase, Logic, ProTools), take one pre-amp or mixer, take one computer. Connect the bass to the pre-amp, connect the pre-amp to the computer's input. Make sure the software registers the inputted device. Play. Record.

Answer
