A lot depends on your sound card and amp. You want to go line out from your amp to the line in on your sound card. If you don't have a line out then mic it. What ever you do don't use a speaker out into your computer. You will fry something. If your amp has a headphone out and no line out that might work. All depends on the sound card. Some cards only have a mic input which will not accept as much line signal as a line input. Hopefully the program will have a manual. If not, go to cakewalk's site and see if you can download it.

I use Cakewalk software and they have good support on their website and a user fourm like this.
