My problem is the following:
I recorded a guitar line, which used the output of my amp and turned the audio input on your computer, but the recorded audio is horrible, like I’m playing in a tube.
and recordings with microphone also have the same problem.
the that can be the probel?
I use the version 2.1.2 in the win. 8.1 64bt.
thank you
Try Why do my recordings fade out or sound as if they were made in a tunnel?.
If you mean that you are connecting an amplifier to the computer you need a proper line-in meant for strong signals, not a mic input. See http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_connecting_an_instrument.html#guitar.

and recordings with microphone also have the same problem.
Direct recording may be the best (and easiest) way to go, but you won’t get the sound character from your amp/cabinet.
For good-quality recording with a microphone, you need a good studio or stage mic. (The Shure SM57 is a very popular mic for recording guitar amps.) And since stage/studio mics are the wrong interface (low-impedance balanced) for a computer’s microphone input (high impedance unbalanced), you need an [u]audio interface[/u] with the proper XLR microphone input. An interface will also provide phantom power which is required for studio condenser mics.
Alternatively, you can use a [u]studio style USB mic[/u] (AKA a “podcast mic”).
And whenever you record with a mic, room acoustics and room noise are a factor.
