So how do YOU record your songs? I use Sony ACID pro sequence and EZ-drummer for drums. For the guitar tracks I play through Line6 Guitar Port, it works like a sound card so there's no or very low latency. In the guitar port I can choose which amp head and cabinet to simulate and I can add a number of effects already there which is a lot more fun than to play clean and add effects afterwards in the sequencer. The guitar port plugs into USB by the way. It can also be used with a mike to lay vocals and it can simulate a bass amp so you can record bass aswell. I'm very happy with this setup and it doesn't cost a fortune. I tried plugging it guitar -> pedal -> pc ..and since that day I got a strange echo on my pc. Which made me draw the conclusion: not so good. did you use the "Mixer" output (not "Out") from the pedal? Should be able to connect to a PA... so why not a PC? I have connected pedals to my GuitarPort a few times and it has worked just fine.. but now you scared me. I don't think I will do that anymore -------------------- My bands homepage

I use Adobe audition as software.
My guitar goes into a POD XTL and then that plugs into the computer soundcard. pretty simple but it works OK. -------------------- its not easy

Used to use Cubase to record, but then my effects processor broke down. So now it's Amp + crappy mic.

i definitely recommend the line 6 toneport ux1 or ux2... on the ux2 you get 2 xlr mic inputs with phantom power plus 2 instrument inputs... the ux2 also doubles as a soundcard so you can use it to run your monitors through and your headphones through. it even has a digital coax output. it comes with the gearbox software so it has tons of built in effects, metronome, and can be upgraded with more effects packages from line6.com. Also comes with ableton live 4 lite which allows you to record up to 4 tracks. (upgrade to live 5 or 6 if you plan on recording more tracks or even a different program like cubase which is a great program for just starting out). for $130 to $200 you can't beat either toneport. nate Or for a little more cash you can get a Pod XT Live (about $399 in the US) - it also allows you to record direct, and includes all the same effects, and is also great in live situations, so you can record your live tone. It comes with a built in pedal board and expression/wah pedal. Only drawback of the XTL is that it has no mic inputs, so the toneport is better if you want to do purely home recording and need to include vocals. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
