This may have been addressed before, but bear with me--I am new at this.
I just bought a copy of Guitar Tracks to record songs on my computer. I'm a novice guitarist at best but would like to get some quality recording nonetheless without spending a bunch of cash. The soundcard in my computer (Dell P3 600 w/256MB RAM & a 20GB 7200 RPM hard drive) is a Turtle Beach Montego.
My guitar is a 57 Reissue Strat, and my amp is a Mesa/Boogie Subway Rocket. I've tried running my amp's recording output into the amp, but it sounds like crap.
Ultimately, my question is this: What do I need, given what I have, to be able to lay down decent guitar tracks, vocals, and possibly add some others sounds electronically (bass/drums)? Do I need a mixer between the instruments and the soundcard (yeah--I know a better soundcard would help)? What is a good all-around mike (Shure SM57?).
Thanks for your help in advance. I've hesitated in posting this for a while as I've tried to figure out how to get a decent sound with my setup.
