Recording my guitar into my computer

I want to play my guitar and record it onto my computer.
I heard if you want an “analog” sound you place your amp in front of your mic, play your guitar and record. Is this correct?
Will I get a good recorded sound if I do this?

I’m using a Peavey Bandit Amp and a AKG CS1000 Condenser mic.
I’m also recording in Acid Pro 2.0.

Please help. Thanks!
 
Well...

...you need to experiement. If mic'ing an amp with a condenser, if I were you...
a) I'd get the amp away from the floor a good 2-3 feet
b) If your room sounds halfway decent, I'd mic it 1 to 2 feet away
c) The condenser will be picking up a lot more high-frequency info than say an SM57 would, so you may find the sound a bit too thin and harsh. If that's the case, try putting a heavy blanket over both the amp and the mic and see what happens...

It's all about trying it out and listening to the results!

Hi, thanks for your help, but I do have Acid Pro 2.0 and I am very familiar with making music through it.

What I want is something where I can make a loop from scratch. I don't want to use all these pre-made loops.

Please help.
And thanks again for the replies.
