Has anyone done anything with the Guitarport? I'm trying to figure out how to record from Guitarport into Cakewalk....

Getting better
I've got it but haven't played with it much. At first listen, the Line 6 sounds are mostly there - better on distortion than clean, to my ear.
I did talk to the GuitarPort people about using the program in Cakewalk, thereby keeping the signal digital, and I got a pdf back from them. I can't post the pdf anywhere, but here's the text:
To record using GuitarPort with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9
1. Open Cakewalk
2. Click on the Options menu and select AUDIO.
3. Once the DirectShow Audio dialog box appears, click on the
WAVE PROFILER button.
4. Once the Wave Profiler dialog box appears, click YES to begin the
Wave Profiling process. Click OK when the process is finished.
5. On the track you wish to record on, double click in the space under
SOURCE.
6. In the resulting Track Properties dialog box, select GUITARPORT
(there are options for L, R or Stereo) as both the PORT and
SOURCE.
7. Arm the track for recording. Use the transport controls to record,
stop, rewind and play back as normal.
A COUPLE OF THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
** To Cakewalk (and the OS for that matter) GuitarPort is simply appears as a soundcard – just like a
SoundBlaster Live or any other soundcard you may have in your computer. Even if you are using another
soundcard in addition to GuitarPort, the guitar always needs to be monitored through the GuitarPort
hardware when you are recording into a hard disk recording application.
** Selecting GuitarPort as your preferred audio device as described in the GuitarPort Help documentation
may simplify issues with signal routing and cabling.
Hope this helps,
Fab
