Well, the Toneport is a recording "interface," which means that it doesn't actually do the recording, but it allows you to record onto a computer. I believe the toneport comes with some sort of recording software (abletone live), which you will need to install if you haven't already. Alternately, you could use just about any other recording software, if you have it. Regardless, you will need to familiarize yourself with the recording software, so you understand how to route the inputs from the guitarport to the proper channels within the software so that you can record.

I don't own the toneport, so I can't really tell you all the steps, but there should be a manual/getting started guide that came with your toneport that can take you through the process.
 
thanks for the help

does that mean i need toneport ux1 and a spereate piece of device or a software to start recording? and about the ableton live thing, i've installed it and nothing happened. what is it meant to do?

GearBox software controls TonePort UX1 and gives you a premium "front end" for all your recordings.
