This is gonna sound stupid, but I don't know how to set up my CPU to record my music. im a guitarist, and have a bunch of songs, but money is an issue and i had to sell my mixer and good amplifier.
Is there a way that I could plug a certain type of Michrophone into the CPU and record my guitar tracks through the MIC? Would it be at-least decent quality sound? I've never tried it before, I usually went to a recording studio so I'm new at this CPU thing. I know that I can download recording software for a minimal fee onto my CPU, but that really doesnt help me too much, since I don't have any way to line my guitar into the CPU, and I only have a shitty little amp right now. So all that would help with is adjusting and mixing the sound of the stuff I hope to record using just a microphone.
is there a good enough CPU MIC to accomplish this task? how much is it, and where is it? I gotta record this ****, cuz I keep forgetting m own songs! LOL
thanx!

There are some USB mic's you can get now which are high quality condenser mic's (actually would be perfect for acoustic guitar...but I'm sure they can handle the little amp with a bit of trial and error)
take a look at:

You can record mutlilayer for free with Audacity software, available on the same site (browse to the free download section, also there are a couple of useful step-by step guides in the 'DIY' section)
I hope this helps

Actually, you can plug your guitar directly into your computer, using an adapter that changes the jack size. I did some recording on my PC, but it sounded like ***, as I had crappy audio hardware. I now do my recording on a Mac using Garageband and I'm getting much better results. When it comes to recording software, none of it is really "cheap", but Garageband comes with every new Mac. I used to use Cool Edit Pro, but Adobe bought them out and turned it into Adobe Audition. You'll be better off going with a direct connection instead of using a mic.

you may no longer record music to CPU... properly, you may, yet once you opt for any high quality or whatnot, your CPU's cache will in basic terms carry like what.... a millisecond of music entire... additionally, you may could desire to write this device your self, because of the fact no person in all their perfect concepts might write a application that could record a millisecond of music on your cache... plus it will make your laptop quite sluggish after your cache is crammed.
