N00b to recording on the pc

[your stomach]

I don't have a bloody clue what to do!

I want to record guitar and bass on the pc and make drum loops on the pc with some random program. So how would i go about doing this?

For both the bass and guitar they are normally run through a pedal into an amp. Do i have to buy a pod like thing to connect it or are there some leads i can just use to plug straight into the pc?

you could plug them into the PC. it'd osund ok.

or, you couldget a POd, or a -vamp, and plug that into the PC, that'd sound great.

or, you could mic up your amps, and put them througha mixer or pre-amp into the pc. that can sound awesome too.

Get "Guitar Rig" from Nativeinstruments, plug your guitar into your computer and you have all the effects and ampsetting you want. And for the drums use "Drumkit From Hell Superior". This is the BEST drumprogram on the world!
