windows 10, tried plugging guitar into pc mic jack to record in magix project, no joy. how can i accomplish this?
A mic socket isn't going to work for a a guitar. You need an audio interface that has a guitar input or something you can plug a guitar into that has a line out socket. But it is still going to sound poor using a pc mic input.
Thx for your prompt reply, would this need to be a midi interface?
would this need to be a midi interface?
Only if either, you have a MIDI guitar, or you are hoping to be able to record from a MIDI source?
Your "ideal" solution here is an Audio Interface which includes facilities for both instrument and mic inputs (because they have very different signal levels and impedance demands), feeding to your computer via USB. Such an interface might also offer a MIDI input facility.
Your computer's built-in mic input is best avoided, at all costs.

Thx for your help, graham and jeff, appreciated. Will research interfaces.
