Hey guys, I'm new to both the forum and the world of recording, though I've been getting a pretty decent basic crash course in CubaseSX2 from the other guitarist in my band, so I'm definately getting really into the recording thing.
Anyway, I do most of my cutting on my dad's computer, which has a zero latency sound card and lets me mic up my 5150 combo. However, he often needs it, so I'm left with only my older IBM thinkpad laptop to work with. In short, can any of you guys recommend the most economical and effective solution that would allow me to record to Cubase on the laptop without any micing? I'm thinking that an all in one USB thing (such as the Yamaha Magicstomp II or Line6 Guitar Port) is my best bet, but I also am open to a USB sound card/amp modeler combo (Anything from a Digitech Genesis to an ebay-ified POD). My price range is pretty much limited to $250 at the most.
Thanks a bunch!
