Ok I need good answers quick guys. I am going to record some guitar parts onto my computer software, and I do not have pre amps or mixers or any of that stuff. I think i can do this, but i need a qualified person to give me the right answer: Can I plug my guitar amp from its output jack into my computer(of course using an adapter so it fits)? Also, would I plug it into mic input or line in? Which is the line in

From my own personal experience, it is an impossible feat. The only shortcut around this problem would be a line out from your effects processor (of course, you have to have one first), directly to a male 1/4" to a male 1/8" into your computers microphone slot. Of course, this is no guarantee. Some processors, like the boss line, has a direct digital out that you can use.

My experience recording direct (line in to your computer or any recording device) is that the sound is really annoying. I always record using a microphone. Try this: take your microphone and put it slightly off-axis in front of your guitar amp. Experiment with it to get the right sound.
This is basically the way they record electric guitars in pro studios MOST of the time.

You could try recording Direct using an effects unit such as the "Guitarport" from the company Line 6. It has loads of effects and very easy to use.
Plug straight into your soundcard and your good to go.

No, you will need a mixing board to do this. I don't know of any adapter that will let you plug straight into a computer. Even if you could find one it would probably be very poor quality.
