Hello everybody,
a friend lent me a Fender Strat and I tried to connect it to my laptop with the following setup:
HARDWARE
guitar jack > jack to minijack adapter > cable > USB soundcard microphone input
SOFTWARE
qjackctl + guitarix
system capture > guitarix head amp > guitarix head fx > system playback
I succeded in connecting everything and got the sound out of guitarix into the laptop output (headphones).
However, the base noise seems rather high as soon as I rise the pre-amp gain a bit and wondered what could be the cause and how could I troubleshoot the problem.
