How would I record a demo?
I really wanna get some of my songs down on a demo. When i use my laptops recorder, it makes the guitar way to distored, should I put the amp in another room then see if that works or find a new way to record the sound???

Yea, chances are, if your recording is distorted, you were far too loud. For the laptop mic.
Do yourself (and anyone else who hears your recordings) a favor and buy the following: A decent microphone and an audio interface. You'll get far better results. |

You can use the same mic to record the guitar and your vocals if you want, and you're better off recording each thing separately. You can do that provided your music program is a multi-track program. Doing that will give you control of each recorded thing separately. |

problem is the only way to test and figure out what those sweet settings are is trial and error. also if you use a lot of live effects, turn them down a notch, then turn them down a little more before recording (especially fuzz or flanger). less is always WAY more when it comes to recording effects. |
