I'm new to playing the guitar, but I'd like to eventually record my own music (well, me playing other peoples songs ). How difficult is it to hook up an electric guitar to the PC? I have a Creative soundcard with a bay that has a variety of inputs - is it as simple as connecting the amp to the analogue input and recording it?

Can anyone recommend some software for editing too please?

I'm not familiar with that soundcard, but I think it would work, at least to get started. I have a Delta 66 card with an M Audio Omni I/O system, which I like.

I record audio and MIDI using Cubase SX, which is an older version. It came with some very useful virtual effects for guitar and mixing in general.

Is Midi the only way to record on the pc ? I play Bass and was thinking of getting a line 6 bass pod and Pro Tools to record directly to the computer . Is there a simple way to do this ? I'd also like to do some guitar stuff but haven't made up my mind on what processor or whatever to use . Any help would be appreciated .

Try looking for a pc processor program such as guitar rig. That program comes with a footswitch. You can also use this program when you directly plug in your guitar to the inputs of your sound card. Use and adpator guitar cord so you can plug it inot your computer. I think i use a 1/8 to 1/4 inch adaptor, dont remember the exact measurements though. As for recording, try dowloading a digital recording studio such as multitrack studio(lite version), some are free to download and some you have to pay for.
