Recording soft acoustic guitar.

Im having trouble with that scratching noise in the background when recording less noisy guitar. How does one get rid of it?
I dont have any money to spend on fancy stuff so Im just asking.

Cheapest way?? Get some pads or something to cover it! Haha.

I'm guessing you are talking about the noise from your PC's mic input? I don't think there's anything you can do without upgrading to a better audio interface.

Hey,

There isnt much you can do than just get a sound card that is built for recording, sound blasters are slightly better than the normal PC sound cards but honestly you going to need to spend some cash on this. Other option is to use audio cleaning tools to try clean it up but its going to mess with your sound of your guitar. Bite the bullet and buy a M-Audio starter kit for a R1000 or so which comes with a very basic pro tools software and a sound card that will work.

I also started on Audacity and had a sound blaster, I know where you coming from... just dont buy the stupid Behringer desk like I did.. waste of money!
