unckecking playtrough was the solution. Recording reached the end. Software playthrough can create some problems sometimes on Linux... In most cases you don't need it... so better to leave it off. Tried to compile 1.13.13 and during the make I got this blocking error FFmpeg.cpp: In function 'int uf...

Moved to Recording Equipment section. What's the budget? If he wants to record both voice and guitar simultaneously with different mics, then he needs two mics and a mic preamp with two inputs.
