http://www.guitarcenter.com/TC-Helicon-VoiceTone-Synth-HardTune—Vocoder-Pedal-583674-i1476643.gc
I really want to get a good vocal recording setup on a lower budget. The tc helicon I liked to above is something I plan to add to it. Problem is folks, I dont know a whole lot about the setup of these, as most of my studio tools are software besides the keyboards and guitars and stuff. I have a good mic with a mic cable that plugs into the tc helicon, but how do I link the helicon to the computer to get it record into my software? help GREATLY appreciated folks
FROM THE AUDIO OUT TO THE MIC INPUT OF THE COMPUTER WORKS VERY EFFICIANTLY. JUST GET A RCA CONVERTER JACK THAT CONVERTS TO THE 1.25 GUITAR STYLE JACK.

Good blues/folk acoustic strings (w/ plain G string) ?
I have a Sigma acoustic and play a lot of lead guitar. I see a lot of lead guitarists like David Gilmour of Pink Floyd use a plain G on their acoustic (as opposed to the typical wound G) to get a more bluesy sound when they bend the G string. I also see a lot of folk artists using this same setup. I tried putting electric strings on my acoustic and it sounded decent, but strumming chords sounded bad. Are there any acoustic string sets that are sold with a plain G that will sound good. Any other ideas how I can best get this sound? Please help.
Unfortunately you are trying to get the best of both worlds and that may mean purchasing some custom strings.
A lot of folk players have an unwound G string because the nature of a folk guitar is different that a full dreadnought size guitar – the tension and internal bracing is different. On a classical guitar the strings are nylon and the G is unwound – on a folk guitar, the strings are silk and steel and MUCH less tension than on a standard steel string guitar.
PLEASE NOTE that putting the wrong strings on the wrong sort of guitar can damage the instrument!
If you have a standard steel string type of guitar (like I suspect your sigma is) and you want to create this compromise, you may need to look for a half/half kind of string set where the lower three are like good acoustic strings and the upper thrree are plain steel, a variety thinner than most acoustics, but thicker than average electrics.
Some manufacturers make sets like this, but they tend to be more expensive as they are sold at a lower volume than standard strings. Or you can order individual strings by gauge, and that can also be pricey, but you will KNOW you are getting what you want.
