T1 and Interface?

have used my L1 B1 with T1 for live performance…wanting to record basic guitar and vocal to laptop …do I need lots of new gear for that process, or can my T1 handle most of it? pretty low tech here, and I have no interface gear yet…suggestions? thanks

Hi krugjr,

The T1® can act as a USB interface to your computer. I have done lots of recording that way.

Click the USB icon below for basic information about connecting the T1 to your computer. If you’re using a PC or a Mac, the computer should recognize the T1 as “Bose USB” or something similar. If your computer can see it, so too should your recording software.

Does that help?

thanks, ST, good to hear from you, and good to see you still helping the folks like me…I’ve been connected to lap top to play MP3 tracks through L1 in ch 4/5…so it looks like if I download some recording “software” I can connect with master or aux out and record? something like that? any favorite software? I’ll study the process…main thing I needed to know is whether I had to buy an interface…now I know I have one with my T1 and I can proceed at my usual 65 yr old pace of learning!!! ha ha … love it when you help…you gave me some great microphone info last year!

Hi krugjr,



You’re on your way.

If you don’t have a specific software in mind, I’ve found that this does the job reasonably well and it’s easy, and free.

All the best to you.

ST! You use/like Audacity??? Excellent!

I find it very logical to use - it fits my mind… I can easily accomplish anything I can dream up. When I’ve watched a friend use ProTools, and others use other products - they just seem SO complicated, NOTHING looks easy.

I feel like I’m in good company! :-}

Best, Mike

Hi Mike,

Yes, I use Audacity. I’ve got some other things around here but Audacity is really straightforward and does what I need.

I hope all is going well for you.

In case you’re wondering, this is what’s new!

Cheers,

ST

Oh sure ST - I’ve read about the F1… interesting, but not something I need.

Did I tell you I finally got myself a Compact? SHOCK!! Useful in several situations. I have a list of 15 or 20 things that I’d have designed differently (better!!), but I kinda like it…

Good to hear from you… MIKE O’

Congratulations.

One of mine basically lives in the trunk of my car. It works so well in so many situations.

Yes, there are things on my list too (mainly wishes), but it does what it does well enough to warrant having it.

All the best!
