and yes ive been posting to soundcloud for about a month, just figured out how to post the link to it on this website.
 
no i wasnt trying to get the electric sound, was just experimenting with using the mike to record through the speaker. i do have an interface and i have plugged directly into it, does sound better that way. just wondering if i really needed to spend 100 bux on a mic just to record guitar now. but at least im learning. thanks for your help.
 
im pushing the meter(which i am struggling to understand also) only about halfway. yep, dont understand how it is that there are negative Db marked that can be heard. but reading the manual told me to set the gain to where it popped up to just the beginning of the yellow on the digital meter and thats what i did. never realized how complicated this stuff was ha, im definitelhy spending more time just figuring out how to setup than actual recording. after my experience with recording "in the box" resulting in having to learn to manipulate a computer also, i find myself wishing i had spent my hard earned money on analog equipment.
 
ok, think i figured out the meter. 0 represents the strenth of the original signal, if i boost the gain the meter will rise above this showing that whats coming out is stronger than the original signal. if i pull the fader down, negative dbs represent that the output signal is weaker than the original. am i right?
 
Not wasting time. Threads don't get deleted because it might help someone else who might come along and read it days, weeks or months from now.

Did you get the answer you were looking for?

i got more answers than i was expecting. was looking for a magic fix tho. but now ive realized that i just need to try different things and see what results i get.
