Recording Issues.

Heya!

I was wondering what software/hardware you guys use to make backing tracks with drums etc with a good sound.

And how to record my own sound from the guitar.

I tried just to put my microphone in front of my amp but thats sounds like sh#t
I tried using some sort of cable named Soundtech lightsnake wich works but it sounds like i'm in a isolated little box playing, its just to much "air" in the sound  Old_lick_of_the_day..wav ( 732.25K ) Number of downloads: 298
.This cable should work but the time i spent trying to fix it is just to much, there must be an easier way (?)

Hello there!
My name is Andreas, I'm 15 years old from gävleborg sweden,
Well i started playing electric-guitar when i was in 3rd grade I got my first teacher at the local "music school"
I wasn't to happy with him he always came late and didn't teach me, instead he just played on by him self enjoying his own tunes , some months later he got replaced by another teacher wich i had for well 1 month, he was good n' all but later moved to another school, the same sort of thing happened again and again and finally the last teacher i ever had. Well we played a while and he came up with an idea, he said we should play on the local festival that year, everyone was up for it and once we got there it was crowded!
Well we started of with our first song, a ballad of some sort.. later came a rock song wich were rather cool til' all hell broke loose!
Our soundtech tripped over a cable and well there goes everything, the crowd just walked thier way and everyone got disappointed, this was the moment i finally gave up the music school, nothing ever went my way, i started looking on the internet...searching for guitarlessons. And every single site were just bogus.
I put up youtube and started watching some music videos and well i saw one of kristofers lessons there.
It totaly got my attention and well, im here now at guitarmasterclass and what can i say i've been here for 10 minutes and i'm already in love with it

That's my guitar story atleast and how i ended up here...

Let's rock then! ;D
