    Pro Tools is available for Windows and OSX. Pro Tools Free (v5) was Windows and OS9 only.

    As well as Cubase, CakeWalk etc there's also Ableton Live. Not quite a DAW but can be used as one and is fun and easy to use.

    Cubase, Ableton, Reason and the MOTU one I forget the name of are all dual-platform too.

    The easiest way of hooking it up is:

    guitar -- effects box -- line in.
    ---- mono
    stereo

    not sure if you pedal is just that, or an effects box with amplification?
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    A DI box or preamp might be needed though, it'll also sound a bit rough without an amp-modelling plugin.

    Indeed just plugging it into a pc will sound terrible - guitars need instrument inputs. M-audio jamlab is a cheap option.

    For recording try the highly rated Reaper which is shareware

    Fr. Stack: While you were out, I got the keys to your car. And drove it into a big wall. And if you don't like it, tough. I've had my fun, and that's all that matters.
