It's working much better now, thanks guys. While we're at it, what does balanced/unbalanced mean? Also, is there a way to control the volume of palm muted parts so they don't go through the roof all the time? It's not causing me big problems, but it's a bit annoying.

completely apart from recording, a lot of "massive" guitar sounds come from the song itself. Things like using multiple chord voicings as mentioned above, but also things like letting a heavy chord ring out and playing a rhythmic lead line over that can get a sort of big epic sound that has...

hm, I believe it does actually. I just never used it because it wasn't helpful when I was playing through a real amp. It's probably pretty shitty though. I'll give it a shot.

So the mic input was pretty useless but the line input works alright. Unfortunately, the sound is still kind of muffled and undefined. I'm not sure how much of this just comes from recording directly and how much comes from my shitty effects pedal (zoom gfx-1, low end). It's not totally...

nah, it's a mono adaptor. why the mic input? does that take a lower signal than the line in or what?

That's not a bad idea. Do you know if it's possible to record with any multi-effects pedal? Obviously I'd want to get something specifically designed for it eventually (pod, v-amp, etc...) but could I just use what I have for the moment to get my ideas down?

marshall valvestate 8240. it's not fancy, but it gets the job done. I just have a 1/4" to mini adaptor that I'm using to plug it into the computer. The cord is fairly long (20 ft) but it doesn't seem like that should have too much effect on the volume. I don't know what my sound card it, I...

I'm not trying to get a professional sounding product, just recording for fun. I assumed direct recording would be less of a hassle and certainly less expensive. If the output on my amp is too low, what can I do to boost the signal? My amp also has an effects loop, would it work any better to...

I'm just trying to record my guitar. I take the signal from the direct out on the back of my amp into the line input on my soundcard. There's some sound coming through, but it's really low, too low to record. any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
