Using Spider Jam's Output

support@line6.com — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 03:09:43 GMT

Hello, I just bought a spider jam the other day and am trying to figure out how to send noise from my amp into an interface (which is connected to my pc via USB port) in order to write music in Ableton Live.

I have connected an RCA to 1/4" cable from the back of the amplifier into the input of my interface.

I AM NOT getting ANY sound, just a fuzzy static noise as if the signal isn't being picked up...

I've tested the cable and the amp and they are both working properly, as well as my interface...

What could be causing the sound to not be heard by the interface? And what could be done to fix it?

Any Help would be much appreciated,

Thank YOu!!!

Never Mind, I figured out what was wrong...

HOWEVER, when I am playing my amp by its lonesome, the sound quality is GREAT.

When I play it through my interface, it is MUCH QUIETER than before and harder to hear, so I turn it up in order to hear it but it starts giving me a crackling noise like it's too loud or something.

How can i get a better quality sound when hooking up to my interface?

ANY help is MUCH appreciated,

Thank You

Connecting/Recording Spider Jam into a Focusrite USB interface?

Hello, and thank you for reading this.

I just bought my Line 6 Spider Jam the other day and it is F****** BADASS!!

I love how I can live loop and save my own recordings into the amp itself...

It really is a high-tech amplifier.

What I am trying to do is connect my Spider Jam (via rca to 1/4 cable) into my Focusrite USB audio interface in order to record live sound into Ableton Live (which is what I use to write songs).

I BELIEVE I am doing this the right but I could be wrong...

I inserted the rca ends (red and white) into their corresponding areas on the back of the spider jam, then I inserted the other end of the cable (which is the 1/4 " that looks like a guitar cable) into INPUT 1 of my interface.

The Spider Jam is turned ON and I can hear sound coming from the amp itself, HOWEVER, I can't hear sound In Ableton Live when the Spider Jam is connected to my USB interface...

Please Help!!!!! I LOVE MAKING MUSIC!!!!!!
