IS this possible?

[Thuged_Out_G]

i play guitar, is it possible in VB to take input from the guitar(through the line in on the computer), run it through a filter(effects) and then output through the speakers?

well i guess my main question is, can i run the sound from the guitar through a filter and get output

[Homer_simpson]

well i've tried hookinh my guitar to my mic input of my computer and nothing came out... but i know that if i go from my guitar to my amp then to my computer it will work...
but if u wanna go from guitar to computer and do effects on it, u must be an expert about sounds...

You need a special adapter or something, i believe its called a MIDI device adapter or something along those lines, it records information from musical instruments

[Thuged_Out_G]

ohh hooking it up to the comp is no problem at all, i just plug it into the line in on my soundcard, i have an adapter on it that brings it down to like a headphone size.

but say like if i found a filter for guitar on the internet, could i make a program to sound the input from the guitar and put it through the filter, and then put the output of that filter through the speakers. i can make it play through the speakers fine, just gotta put it through a filter

[Homer_simpson]

yes... as i mentioned... u'll need to either hook it up to a pedal b4 computer or an amp b4 computer...

[Thuged_Out_G]

well, hooking it up to the pedal, and then to the computer...kinda defeats the purpose of making a program for effects. i have no problem playing guitar through my computer, hook it up to the line in and it plays through the speakers. no amp or pedal needed.

u hook it up to mic port right?
doesn't work for me =(

[Thuged_Out_G]

no, not the mic port. my soundcard had a line in, line out, and a mic port.
i hook it up to the line in, and it plays through my speakers. and it works in my mic port to, it just sounds like shit. lol

i know there are extra tools that you can get (like sound stopping/pausing/playing), but i haven't used vb in a while and im not too good with it, but something there may help you. (sorry, i completely forget where to access it, it just gives you more tools to work with (like text boxes and whatnot but better)).

[Thuged_Out_G]

if your thinking of

MMControl1.Command="Play"
MMControl1.Command="Stop"
MMControl1.Command="Stop"

i know how to use that, but for the deviceType what would i specify it as to get from the line in on my soundcard?!?1

i found it: project >> components, there may be something there that will allow you to do what you want to do.

i know it is posable in java with the java sound api so u whould think M$ whould have tryed to rip it off for VB in some way. if not u could probaly use J++ witch is much like VB but with java code insted.
