Zoso's was the most pleasing to listen to.. All of them were flawed in some way to my ear..not that I am perfect either.. which is why I want to join in on this "jam session" thing. Then you can all criticise and laugh at my poor playing.. :p

I used to have a program, called CoolEditPro, years ago that was really easy to use... and then the designers broke the usability by making it "better" and "easier" to use.. pffft.. So I was wondering if there is a cheap or free program that you all use to record with.. I was thinking of plugging my active-pickup'ed guitar into a multi-effects box, then from there directly to the microphone jack on the front of my computer.

Will that be a bad idea for some reason? would like to know in case I wreck something.. :) hehe. Then there's the solo backing track.. I need a program that will allow me to basically place the mp3 backing track into a timeline and then hit play/record and record my soloing as I am listening to the mp3 on the timeline. Synching it all up later can be a messy process...
