I'm presently recording with Reaper (great program) by plugging my guitar directly into my PC soundcard. The sound quality is..meh..ok. What irks me, tho, is the sound I record this way is very faint, requiring me to max out my guitar's volume knob and PC speaker for it to be heard clearly.
If I instead run from guitar to amp to soundcard, what wil lhappen? Do I risk damaging something? Better sound, worse? Should I invest in a preamp?
Thanks!
