On my recordings, I am recording each part (rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass) as a separate track in the DAW and then mixing. It should also work to have a backing track from bluetooth and play along in Mustang Micro ... with the full audio going USB into computer. I will try it later today and leave a comment on how well that works.
@@gabrieleguidoni2867 I tried it and it worked great. Here is a short video that I just recorded with Mustang Micro and RUclips backing track. ruclips.net/video/UyqDWBht_6A/видео.html
I connected directly into computer using USB cable. In the DAW (Logic, Pro Tools, GarageBand,...) set Mustang Micro as audio input. I recorded into audio tracks. No audio interface is needed. (It would also be possible to run the headphone output through an audio interface ... you would need adapter from stereo 1/8" plug to 1/4" phone jack. )
The volume dial on the front that controls the volume for headphones also adjusts the volume of the signal to USB. Some amp models are louder than others, so you will need to adjust level when switching amp models. I use Preferences > Audio to select Mustang Micro as input device, and then record onto an Audio track. The level is strong and clear, and can be adjusted to avoid any clipping. If you are going into a Guitar amp plug-in track, you may need to work with the Mustang Micro level and the amp settings (in the plug-in) if you are getting unwanted distortion.
@@fabioa.565 I added some information about the guitar tones in the video description. Basically, I used the default settings as an example, but I am finding that the amp tones can be adjusted to the guitar pickups/volume/tone controls and to the player's taste. The effects also allow for some adjustment; for example, the amount of reverb. Here is the latest song I recorded with the Mustang Micro and I am getting a variety amp sounds that I really like ... ruclips.net/video/_DMBRhYBkXo/видео.html
@@fabioa.565 No, but that one looks interesting too. Over the years I have used the Vox headphone amps, Fender G-DEC practice amp with models, and a Blackstar 5 watt tube amp. And some experimenting with amp plug-ins in Logic. Otherwise, I play mainly Fender and Marshall amps, and have had the chance to play several models of those brands as well as some others such as Bogner, Mesa Boogie, etc. So I think my ears are kind of tuned to the sound of tube amps played live at moderate volume ... and I find that the Mustang Micro does a great job producing that type of tone. I am not a metal player, but there are a few amp choices on the Micro that give a good saturated distortion ... even a bit percussive sounding when palm muting.
so basically you record exaclty what you hear right? guitar over backingtrack right? thanks

Thanks! What software do you use for recording?
Logic Pro X
can this device connect bluetooth to the phone and jam along with a backing track on youtube?
Yes, I have done this with iPhone.
Were you plugging the Mirco into an interface or directly into your computer?

Hi do you know how to change the input gain when record in Logic pro? my signal is clipping in logic

@@PhilipReevesMusic thanks I tried the volume knob but the signal into logic seemed unaffected. I’ll try it again
hello. does the device keep memory of the last preset when you turn it off and then turn it on?
Yes it does.
@@PhilipReevesMusic thank you

@@PhilipReevesMusic good job. Did you have the chance to compare this device with the new NUX mighty plug mp-2 ?

Does this work witj abletone?
You can check with Fender to be sure, but it should. The USB connection should be recognized by Ableton as an audio input.
