I use a Line-6 Guitar port(Hardware) along with their Software Gear box or POD Farm. I record pedal steel into Real Band. It can be used as a stand alone amplifier with decent reverb etc. I listen to the wet output and record dry and add what I need on mix.
I use the line-6 ASIO. I have a good set of speakers hooked to the output of the guitar port and use this for all of my computer sound output. I also have a decent headset plugged into it also. I like this for recording amd practicing


I paid a little over $100 at guitar center.

I have a gateway laptop Vista Home Premium,

2G RAM

533 mhz CPU

160G Hard drive (40% Free)

I put my internet in standby and turn off anti virus while recording.

I have no problems with the system. I recorded into BIAB before Real Band
