It's insanely dangerous to post an email address on the forum. We get a lot of visits where software looks for addresses to send spam. You can put it back if you like.

Where exactly did you plug your guitar cable and what kind of computer do you have?

When you make your recording, do you get a wavy blue line and do the red sound meters jump?
