ok i know its a good idea to use a preamp for recording direct with guitar. this is a dumb question but im wondering if you should use it with a mic too. The reason i ask is because i am (for the time being) micing my amp sending that into my mixer and then mixer hooks to the pc, and im using free software just so i can record a little and get my ideas down since i dont have a good setup yet. Anyway when i record my amp with my guitar distorted it can often sound pretty crappy and im not sure why, and i think there are preamps in my mixer anyway... is this something i should fix with the sofware? like use a compressor or something? or what?

Dude - i have to agree with dten. If u want the absolute best sound when recording ur guitar, spend like $300 and get a Line 6 POD. The tune modeling in the POD will blow you away I'm sure!!!! If you want a Marshal Stach - you just bring it up and -boom!- your jammin'!! This will definately get rid of any distortio problems you are having when you record. Of course, you also might be sure that you're not peaking out when you are recording. If you're cranking and your signal is too hot going into the puter, there is nothing that wil help. But really check into the POD. Even check out the clips on the LIne 6 site, as they were all done through a POD
