Hi,
I'm interested in starting to do some home recording (literally starting from scratch here) and was wondering which way would be best or at least a good way to go about things.
I'm going to be recording my guitar through my Marshall DSL100 head although i can't really use the amp too loud at mine. (I record elsewhere where i can have it as loud as needed)
My main queries are - When i'm at home and can't use the amp to it's full potential but want to record, what kind of setup should i use?
I was thinking of just going direct from the amp to my laptop using a 1/4 > 1/8 jack and then mix it with some software. Is this any good? and if so - what software should i get?
If this is an ok way then i'll do that but if it's reeeally crap then i'll start looking at mics to go through instead of straight into the laptop.
Any help is useful.
