Recording My Amp With My Laptop
Okay, I've been doing some research and I'm a little confused. I have an Epiphone G400 guitar, a Fender Princeton 650 amp, a Compaq Presario 2545 laptop and I want to record my guitar. I understood that I can connect my guitar directly to the mic-input in my laptop but that it doesn't sound too good. Is there any way I can plug my guitar to my amp and my amp to the laptop instead of just using a microphone to record the amp? If so, what exactly do I need to get and do? I tried connecting a cable between the amp and the laptop but all I got was an awful noise. My laptop doesn't have a line-in input, just a mic-in and my amp has preamp out (what I used), poweramp in and footswitch jack. So what's the best way to record with my gear?
definitlly get an external sound card

it will sound even better if you mic the amp

or you ucan get a line 6 comp guitar amp

or just do the line in thing and use virtual amps
