today i tried recording my amp with an mic directly connected to my pc, an it sounded like shit, the noise i got was almost has loud has what was being recorded. So.... what do i need to do some decent amp recordings? some kind of usb interface? a new mic (i only have a cheap behringer)?
I don't want to spend much money.... give me some advice shortscale

M-Audio Fast Track or a Line 6 Toneport.

Simple USB interface is what you need.

A USB interface should do the trick. I have a cheap Behringer mic and it works fine, noiseless recordings.

i got this because COMPUTERS FREAK ME OUT. and i don't want that MIDI shit or USB SCUMBAG ACTION

its got xlr in for your mic in
its got 1/4" in for your guitar in
its got rca jacks for your phonograph in
its got rca jacks for your line in
its got stereo input for your mp3 in
its got ducking so you can fuck around with recording pod casts radio station dj style

its got dedicated mic vol
its got dedicated guitar vol
its got dedicated other shit vol

its got a really nice warm preamp in it

its got stereo mini out
its got rca line out
its got computer line out to computer audio card hook up

it fits perfectly into a cd rom slot on your computer.

IT RUNS VERTICAL STEREO SPEAKERS

THIS IS THE PERFECT BOX FOR OLD PEOPLE WHO ARE SCARED OF ODD SHAPED PLUGS

I have m-audio firewire device, that does its job well..

I bought a Line 6 UX2 a couple weeks ago, comes bundled with Pod Farm (amp sims/effects etc)+ Ableton, Riffworks & Reason pretty good value, USB minimal setup.

I have used things made by M-Audio and PreSonus. Look for something with the number of mic and instrument inputs that you need and go from there.

I record with a MXL USB Condenser mic with a foam cover over the top to reduce background noise. It works pretty good and I usually get a pretty good, verrry limited background noise recordings. Cheap, easy, and more convenient for me anyways.
