noobie cubase question

[xtopher01]

I have a cheap, but decent electric guitar.
A BOSS GT-6 guitar effects processor.
And Cubase SX3.

I want to record my guitar on my laptop computer. I've been trying to use run my guitar through my BOSS into the mic port on my laptop, but I have been entirely unsuccessful.

Is it possile to achive what I've been trying to do, and if so could somebody explain to me/point me to a tutorial on how to do so?

I'm going to be buying an external USB soundcard in the summer [low funds atm], but I'm itching to get some recording done so I can get acquainted with Cubase as soon as possible.

Thanks for any help y'all can give.

I must say that I'm not a big fan of direct recording (going straight out of a pedal and into the soundcard). However, if your low on cash, you are low on cash.

I must say that using the stock soundcard is a pain in the ass almost every time, but you can probably work around it for now.

Start out by reading this and then ask me any questions you may have.
