time to record

[Transcend]

Dude - get a looper! Boss RC-2 is cheaper than the bigger RC-20 Hunter suggested.

I have one and you record a riff, it loops it and you play over the looped riff until your heart desires and you can over-dub and over-dub and over-dub...you get the picture. It also has metronome and quite a few drum patterns which is handy.

so perfect, yet so out of my price range. it'd probably be worth it, but i'd rather spend no money and get something that works just as well.

how much does a new soundcard cost for a laptop? what i've done today is record to audacity, and then use my extra cab as a monitor, but the problem is my soundcard is so weak i guess the sound is only just above a talking level.

its not that

you need a power amp between the output and the cab.....

i don't think its that. i also tried using some computer speakers and the sound level was the same. i then tried throwing a speaker amp before the speakers, and it got louder, but much too distorted. i'm pretty sure its the sound-card.

hmmm i have no idea,.

i use mine with a guitar lead from analog out 1 into the input of my amp
with a flat eq

now i'm actually reconsidering some type of looper or something. whats the cheapest one available? i'm looking for something in the $100 US range.

i have no idea about loopers but your problems with the toneport are confusing me...

have you tried using the toneport as the soundcard?

go there, that explains my problem a lot better. i think my laptop is just too old and too weak to do anything useful.
