Truth is, I spent way too many of my days recording, haha. I kind of came out of my shell my senior year in high school. Before that, I would spend everyday writing for a while, then recording till that was done. I was actually getting a bit mad and frustrated when I started getting girlfriends and friends because I did not have those extra hours that I would spend alone where most kids would spend socializing. I've babysat dogs at my cousin's house that was far away and I did not leave the house at all during those five days except to walk the dogs once a day and all I did was record.
I'm just starting to feel that this is a hobby for me when I'm older and I have an "adult salary". My house is on foreclosure and I don't even have an income right now. I wasn't being just cheap, it really was all I could afford.
I found this video on recording heavy metal guitar and it was very helpful.

It just pretty much shows me there is a whole other depth to recording I wasn't aware of. Is recording with mics to an amp and such. I guess there's definitely a reason why everyone here seems to have physical hardware rather than purely just computer interfaces.
Toneport is supposed to replace an entire sound studio. Just looking at the hardware, its really obvious of its intent, but for $100, I guess that can never truly be simulated. Before I even got Toneport, I honestly thought all that stuff I saw TV and movies was just "overdoing" it, but I didn't realize the necessity of it all was.
And now here I am today, realizing that if I want to do what Toneport promises, I have to go get the real things. Not so much a "pro studio" just some real equipment, rather than a simulation of it.
Its sort of how like I didn't really understand the whole tube amp till recently. Toneport and Line 6 amps all sound great and offer lots of crazy variety. But it doesn't come close to beating an authentic mic recording and tube amp.
Truth be told, I might be just being a bit dramatic. I don't know how much all that stuff costs, but I'm sure with a budget of a $1000 I could get myself started manually recording, but thats for another place and time.
