Re: GarageBand users

guitar -> audio interface -> computer

Garageband is child's play when it comes to DAW, have some fun with it.

Re: GarageBand users

For just playing around at first, the guitar -> audio interface -> computer is your best bet. To get a good sound, you'll want to use your mics into the audio interface if it's capable of that.

Once you get either setup going, just hit record and go. If you really want to get into some cooler stuff, drag a drum loop into a track, and then start layering guitar stuff on top of it. Great way to start improvising and writing.
