Tutorial: Playstation Portable and Guitar Recording

Snapshot of Joel Van's tutorial - Image 1

Audiophiles/PSP owners may want to take heed of a thread GuitarHelper creator Joel Van started at the QJ.Net Forums. It's a step-by-step guide for using Art's Audio Mechanica homebrew application for recording guitar tunes on the PSP.

For the guys who don't recall, Audio Mechanica is a PSP-based audio recording application that can record your voice via a PSP-compliant microphone such as a SOCOM headset, or Art's Nokia Boom Headset modification (aka the lteixeira Boom Headset). Joel Van's tutorial proper will use the lteixeira modification to record guitar tunes into the PSP, as a SOCOM-compatible headset was difficult to find in Australia, his current residence.

The first half of the tutorial will detail the wiring and parts needed to get the PSP and guitar ready - the author used a store-bought 4 conductor 1/8 inch plug for his attempt. The second half of the tutorial will detail how to record using Audio Mechanica - Joel Van successfully ran the application on firmwares 3.03 OE-C and 1.5. Just click on the link below for the full tutorial details over at QJ.Net's PSP Development Forum. Enjoy the read.

3 lol. This is tight. ::look at my ? on the forum page::

way to go, and try to get that universal input working that would be awesome so we could record anything to the psp, with whatever you got.

5 - I'd be cool if this would work as an amp prog or something, like Guitar Rig. Portable amp.

# Help plz — Guest 2007-04-09 11:12

Hey does anyone know if this would work if i plugged a PC microphone into the PSP's headphone remote control thingo?

I saw this adapter that would allow you to split the headset's 2 pins for headphone and mic input to the one.

I was then thinking that I could do the same with a 2 way headphone splitter, then say a Singstar Mic and normal headphones.

What do you think?

# good idea. — Guest 2007-04-09 22:22

that sounds like a great idea. i have yet to try the app, but im very much into portable recording. i dont think something like a guitar rig port would be necessary on the psp, as there is no way you could bring over the same sorta results from the NI version on a pc, and replicate it with the psp's processing power.

however, i wonder if there is a way to construct a simple 2 or 4 track recorder to do some overdubs...all without dumping to a pc.
