I'm new to recording so can anyone tell me how to get a better sound plugging my electric guitar directly into the computer (Using Cakewalk) vs. micing my amp. I like the amp sound so much better, so maybe I should mic it, but I have another problem...
When using the mic input in my soundcard, the line input which is coming from my midi piano, turns off, so the only way to hear the rythm and midi parts is to plug my headphones into the piano. Then of course, I can't hear the audio parts I've already recorded on the computer.
If I plug the guitar directly into the computer, I don't have to worry about sound bleed, so I can turn the volume of the piano up AND hear the computer stuff.
Any suggestions on how to set things up, and how to get a decent sound plugging directly into the computer?
Thanks a bunch.
