That sounds pretty good. I would like to know how you recorded that. I want to record some riffs onto my PC, but I'm not sure how to do it. I've got an Audigy 2, so I'm ok as far as that goes. But what kinds of instrument cable adapters do I need to get? And what are the basic software setups that I have to go through to record a decent sound? Did you use any specific recording software? Thanks in advance...

Actually, I just read your other post, and I kinda got an idea of what I need. But I still don't know what kinds of cable adapters I might need. Thanks!

very simple man Guitar>BossGT3>LINE IN2 input audigy

software used Cubase 5 vst 32 r6

Obviously the Audigy doesn't have an input that will fit an instrument cable, so can I pick up an adapter at a music shop? Thanks for the quick reply...

oh u dont have the platinum series with front Rack! that could be tricky man, u'd better buy the front panel! cos in the rear input u dont have a gain control! so the sound will be unamplified! what's ur gear consisting of?

[OCSk8Brdr]

damn, I knew NOT buying the Platinum version would somehow come back to bite me in the ass!

I've got a Jackson Dinky XL and an Ibanez S1220 WNF going through a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone distortion pedal. I want to record more for keeping riffs on file than for actual home recording. Basically, I have the worst short term memory of anyone in the history of mankind, so I would like to record riffs so I won't forget them later.

Lol! anyway man u can upgrade ur audigy by buying the front panel, and throw that metal zone away, its ****ty and noisy, and get urself a boss gt3, gt6 or a POD preamp! u need a preamp!

[OCSk8Brdr]

Aw, I like the Metal Zone. One of the main reasons I didn't buy the Platinum (other than cost) was because my computer tower has a door on the front that shuts and the knobs on the Platinum Live!Drive stick out too far. Maybe later this year when I upgrade I'll get a new case and a Platinum version. Damn...
