Just got cakewalk, all i want to do is be able to record me playing guitar, bass, drums etc... how do i do this? Ive plugged my guitar in to the mic-socket on the motherboard, sound comes through the speakers fine, but i have no idea how to record!

First, you have to set your windows mixer up.
1- click on the speaker in the lower right hand side of your taskbar
2- properties/recording
3- adjust your mic or line level to a healthy level
Start Cakewalk
- Run wave profiler
- select port (your soundcard)
- hit record
An important thing to remember is to record and minitor on different ports. This will prevent your prerecorded tracks being recorded on top of your new track.
