In case there are other members as dumb as me, I'll tell you that you don't have to reach for the specs or the magnifying glass in Tekker's lesson to read the screen-shots just left click on the image, then again to get an even bigger view.

And, I think,(please correct me if I'm wrong Tekker) when Tekker refers to 'your soundcard' early in the lesson he is referring to the computer's built in soundcard that came built into your computer, but in the next section where he explains using an audio/extra type 'soundcard', he is referring to either a separately bought and installed 'better' soundcard, or a separate 'unit'/'soundcard' which could be a USB or Firewire plug-in Audio PI Interface type 'soundcard' ('Soundcard' and 'PCI Interfaces' are used pretty much interchangeably but mean more or less the same thing) like MAudio, Tascam etc.

These units bi-pass the computer's original soundcard and give much better sound and no interference. even when using a microphone.

I followed all his steps, and the wiki tutorials, concentrated, and it all worked brilliantly.

Now to import the VST simulated amp Boogex plugin! Or maybe I'll just play around a bit with Reaper next, and see what it can do.
