Just bought some equipment, but some questions Options

[akirax]

well i got the Delta 44 and midisport 2x2 for my powermac g4. one question is that when recording there seems to be always distortion with the guitar(it does not sound like background distortion but like the guitar has a grunge pedal or something with it) and i dont have a mic preamp, but i do have my brothers amp, would getting a preamp solve this problem or is there another solution out there. This is more of a beginner question but how can you adjust the latency(through OMS or something?) Oh and in Delta logic i am having trouble hearing the midi tracks it shows that there is something playing and i should hear sound, but guess what i dont. so any possible solutions would be greatly welcome and appreciated.
