I've recorded many songs on my PC. What I did, was buy an adapter, as mentioned in the post above, and plugged it into my soundcard.

I am using a digitech effects board so I just run my cable from the output to the soundcard and my input to my guitar.

The program I use to record is called Magix Music Studio 7. It's awesome. It gives you up to 32 tracks to record on allowing you to layer mask (recording a part and then copying twice to make it sound even heavier) the program comes with a mixer and thousands of options to fine tune the sound exactly how you want it. You can switch speakers causing it to fade from left to right just to name a few cool things. It's really worth the $70 I paid for it. You can buy it at any major electronics store. I believe I got mine from best buy.

You can pick up the adapters from Wal-Mart or any place that has electronic stuff. For my drum beats I use Fruity Loops.

Hope this helps.
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.

I use a $149.00 Digitech Rp200 going directly into the generic soundcard in my computer and use the free version of Protools on the digidesign website. You need to have windows 98 though for that because it is not compatible with XP or NT.
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?
