I didn't know exactly where to put this, so I decided to put it here.
Question: What can I do to put music that I have written, on my computer. I don't have much money(actually I don't have any).
Assuming it's music you can play on your guitar - you need to beg, steal or borrow a microphone and then download a FREE multi-track recording program such as AUDACITY from: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
I have to get a microphone? Is there no way that I can just plug my guitar into the computer.
1/4 inch to 1/8th inch adapter at radioshack. Itll sound like shit but itll work.

Ok, thanks. And by the way, what does poop sound like.

I've heard plenty of music here on GN that was recorded directly into the computer and I thought it sounded pretty darn good. Actually, much of it might have been recorded directly into the computer after going through an amp or a device such as a V-amp2.
I might even venture a guess that most of the music I've heard on GN was recorded directly in, rather than through a mic, but I might be wrong.

If I jsut plug it into the back of my compy can I record it from there.
I was waiting to see if someone more knowledgeable than I would post, but I'm pretty sure you can go straight into the back of the computer from the guitar, with the proper adapter.
I know we've had this discussion/explanation, even recently, so I went searching. Here's one thread that might be of help to you:

If you have trouble getting it set up, post it over on one of the other forums such as In the Studio or Mixed, Shaken and Stirred rather than Hear Here.

You can go straight into the back of your computer but I wouldn't advise going through the amp first if your going to do that as there is a good chance you'll blow your soundcard... Your best bet would be to take it from a pedal or something (thats what I did in our first recording, there is a link in my sig if you wanna hear the result)
Don't forget that a lot of your "tone" comes from your amp not just your guitar
Well, my pedal is a line 6 so I can't rally plug it into the compy.
