There might be some topics about this already but you don't mind writing a little, do you?
 I'm a guitar player and want to start to record some of my stuff. (not that it's worth it but it's nice if you can record it together with a drum loop or something like that and to capture ideas on hd) I would be using a 12" 867mhz Powerbook with 640MB Ram and OSX. I tried putting my guitar directly into the line in of the PB and then using Audacity to record. As a preamp I use Amplitube Live. But with that setup I had quite some latency which I think comes from Amplitube because when I play guitar and for example open a window or scroll it takes about 1-2 seconds to do that... not really nice. So one of my questions is now if this problem would be history with a nice interface? (this one looks nice: M-Audio MobilePre USB I'm also looking for a nice recording program. There are so many out there and I really have no idea which one to get. I don't need anything professional, it just has to record my guitar and maybe be able to insert a drum loop. (I'm currently using Fruity Loops on a crappy PC but I could get Reason) So I don't midi. I hope you understood what I mean. Thx!

I think that recording "dry" would be really nice. I'd like to play around with the sound after I recorded...
I would have to connect the guitar to the Amp then and the Amp then to the interface right? I thought about using a mic too, but I'd like to record with headphones. Fruity Loops is a windows thing, that's why I gotta go to the crappy PC we have here, create a drumloop (with some nice strings as a background) and then somehow import them to the recording program. Native Instruments is gonna come out with "Intakt", I think that's gonna be like FL, then I can do the whole thing on my Mac. I'm still not sure which of those 3 interfaces I should take because PT looks really nice and with the 2 other interfaces I would have the problem with choosing a DAW again... on the other hand the MBox is a little expensive. (but includes a much better DAW than the other two...) I'll see for how much I can get the MBox and then decide. Thx again for all the help, xenonaut!
