Mornin Gang:

I need some help. Trying to get input/advice here regarding some good ways to connect my guitar to my PC so I can start using Amplitube.

I wan't sure if an interface was absolutely necessary...or not.

In brief, I picked up cheap ol' version of Cakewalk's Music Creator 5 LE (waste of money)---but, it came with a guitar cable that was 1/4 to USB...so I thought, hmmm...ok, I'll try it...no box? Ok...try it...duh.

No werky-werky (as far as I can tell that is)...maybe the marketing team assumed that even the most rock headed of guitar players would realize they need an interface...I digress.

My computer recognizes "the device" and the drivers are good, BUT, when I open my DAW, it sees no related input (I checked audio and midi tabs---nada).

Now...I understand that the guitar signal is analog, and VERY weak; thus going direct to the PC's audio Line In jack would be futile...so...I'm sure I need an audio to usb box of sorts.

Thanks for any recommendations in advance!
