recording solution

Hi peeps, i have this current situation which i would like to seek some advice on, basically , i would like to record acoustic guitars to my computer , i have a tascam vl-x5 near field monitor and a e-mu 1212m soundcard, question is i would like to record miked up acoustic guitars ,which means that i would have to monitor the music via headphone instead of through the monitors, would i need some kind of an audio switcher to switch between headphone and monitor?

Why dun you just switch off the monitor speaker when you want to record your playing.

thing is i am playing against a backing track as such i would need to hear the backing track, but since i am rec acoustic guitars the sound frm the monitors would bleed into my microphone during rec

waddup esse, but you cannot route all audio into the headphones and turn off the monitors meh?

yes you'll have to turn off your monitors.


your setup : from soundcard > mon.speakers

either free : soundcard > unplug mon.spk. plug in headphones.

or pay abit : soundcard > headphone amp > 1) mon.spk 2) h.p.

so anytime you can lower your headphones or monitors as you like.

budget = behringer
want abit better quality = rolls.
