Connecting an Electric Guitar to Magix Music Maker Premium 2014

Help required please. I'm thick I know but I can't get my Electric Guitar to record in Magix Music Maker 2014 Premium, my PC is Win7, Intel Pentium 2.1Ghz, 4GB RAM, 500gb HDD,

The Kit that I have:

Magix Music Maker Premium 2014

Alesis MultiMix4 USB Interface

USB Cable

Yamaha MIDI to USB Cable

Yamaha QY100 Music Sequencer

An Electric Guitar and Lead

Jack to Jack Stereo Cable

Diminishing patience

Using some or all of the above how do I get my Guitar to record on Music Maker 2014 using their guitar amp (if it has one?)

I realize to those that can set this up this is a stupid question but I'm stuck. Once I get this working I will be on my way to getting these songs out of my head and into reality!

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Scott.

The guitar should be connected into the Alesis channel one's switchable high-impedance input, the other inputs are not sensitive enough.

With the Alesis connected to the computer and switched on, start MMM.

In MMM set a track for Audio recording by clicking the button shown below

You may get a dialog popup, click Continue

Click the setting button arrowed in the image below

then from the dropdown circled in the image above select the Alesis device - it may appear as USB interface or some other name.

When you hit the record button you should then be able to record the guitar.

Hi John, thanks again for your patience it is superb of you to help me like this. I have done as instructed and nothing. I opened the settings box next to the record button, and with the Alesis plugged in, switched on before i opened the music maker the option "Audio Line in" has the option of "Asio4all" and the drop down menu offers no alternative. It is baffling. Any others options worth trying? Thanks again for your time. Scott.

. . . . the option "Audio Line in" has the option of "Asio4all" . . . .

Did you try the Asio4All option?
