    I'm going to buy the Alesis IO2 for interfacing my guitar/mic to the pc. It comes with Cubase SE, and have been advised it's good to start out with at least.

    I'd like to know, what's the best way for playing along with tunes and recording myself.

    So, say I have a music cd and I want to load it onto the pc, take out the guitar from the track and play that bit myself and record it...

    I know this is a basic question, but I'm just getting started.

    Appreciate your help.....(and yes, I'm also googling away to try and find the answers, just not sure what to look for).

    Thanks,

    D>

    You can't do what you want to do. You can load any wav or mp 3 into the Cubase SE sequencer and it'll play; but you can't disassemble a commercial CD after it has been mixed down.

    What you want to do could be accomplished the old fashioned way; you can put together a very workable drums and bass track with free drum loops and some free midi synths...if that last sentence was lost on you, let me know and I'll explain it all in detail.

    Don't limit yourself to playing over other peoples songs; you can accomplish alot with interfaces like that.

    Thanks for the replies guys...

    Creating from scratch is definetly something I want to do (as you mentioned TelePaul) and am looking forward to getting to know the ins/outs of Cubase.

    Also, playing along to MIDI backings sounds good too - I play at family/friends parties etc and would love to be able to fire a cd into the stereo, plug the guitar into the amp and play along (popular, well known songs, Beatles, Clapton, sing-along stuff)
