AND
A Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB interface.
Been fiddling with em both since I got home like 7 hours ago lol.
The guitar: Absolutely solid, my pappaw has an old ibanez acoustic that I have loved my whole life, and this one doesn't feel too terribly different, bit smaller as his is the dreadnought body style. Neck's good and smooth, good action outta the box, sounds crisp and bright, still has good bottom end. My first Acoustic in 20 years, and my 3rd one in my lifetime lol.
The interface: Also solid, really cool being able to actually record my ideas so I can hear them back, and it be in a clear, listenable fashion. Fits on my desk well, thought I'm gonna have to get some monitors of my own, as well as a couple of ¼" cables for them, but right now I'm borrowing my friends.
Definitely need to figure out something for the type c plug, I already have my port filled on my PC, so I've been plugging into an adapter for my headset, which works, but isn't optimal. Maybe I should get a USB hub I can switch on and off? Another decent A(male) to C(female) adapter cable would definitely work well, but the only way to actually turn it all the way off is to unplug it or kill the power to it.
Also I was wondering what software you guys would recommend for amp/effect modeling and recording?
I'm not one to turn down free or cheap, but at the same time I'm also down to pay for quality.
Oh yeah, I guess you pervs are just waiting for pics.
(For example, how she knew you like a single cut acoustic guitar and not a normal bodied guitar? Congrats for the greatest mom too! My mom knows I love music and guitars, but she couldn´t come with gifts like that on her won, I can tell you that!)
