ahahah some tough vocabulary ahead of me, no i don't sing. Mainly just instrumentals but i will give it a shot tell me al little more about the mixer, and what is a cheap sound card i can get for a $200 budget? Yeah i have some sort of purple wire i bought at radio shack, thats connected to some black large guitar twangy(excuse me for my inaccuracy). the wire is then fed from my amp phone line(only other output), or my line 6 pod 2.0, then it is sent to my microphone port on my sound card. Oh yeah are there any good tutorials on the net covering step by step basics in sonar, other than the help stuff?
