Lightsnake

Hi Tekker and thannk you for responding.
I connected the studio monitors to my labtops headphones output since i dont have an external sound card, its just the labtop. The lightsnake is connected to the labtop with a USB port, in the other end of the lightsnakes cable i connected it to the guitar. In the sound properties i choosed the USB(lightsnake) as an recording input, and the speakers as output.
My speakers är Behringer MS40, there is a cable between the 2 speakers. another cable with 2 jacks, one red and the other is black which i connected to line 2 (analog inputs in the right speaker) the end of this cable with the 2 jacks end in the labtop headphones input.
I use amplitube stand alone.
I start playing the guitar but the sound is not clear at all.
I tryed to record with the usual windows xp recording program, its was really a good clear sound.
so i dont know where is the problem!!!!!
here is the lightsnake proparities!!!

Lightsnake USB Instrument Cable – STUSBG10
This LightSnake cable is a 1/4” to USB cable that is ideal for recording guitars or other musical instruments on your computer. The LightSnake instrument cable is basically a “Soundcard in a Cable” that allows you to record digital audio directly onto a computer. It is as simple as connecting the 1/4” mono plug of the LightSnake cable to an instrument and then connecting the USB end to a computer USB port. This is a true USB plug and play connection. No additional drivers are needed for most operating systems. An embedded 16 Bit Analog to Digital Converter with audio signal boost ensures extremely low audio loss and 48/44.1 KHz Sampling Rate provides a high audio quality while recording. The HSDL (Host Side Data Loss) Noise Reduction function prevents any unwanted noise when converting the audio signal to digital format and saving to a computer.

I've never been able to get Amplitube to work well on any of my computers. Latency and noisy overdrive, same here.

You could try running Amplitube as a VST within a recording program, such as Reaper.

I have a tutorial that shows how to set VST's up in Reaper and hear them while you are playing.

You may also want to play with the sampling rates to see how that affects latency as well.

  Reaper

I little bit about what i wanna do....

I am playing the acoustic guitar, flamenco and spanish stuff..what i thought about is combining the classic and flamenco musik with the electric guitar sound. how? i dont know...i want to get for example the saxfone sound on the guitar or the violine or the keyboard so i can combine it with the sound of the acoustic guitar...thats what i wanna do.

I have installed amplitube as i said, it has many effects yes but not the saxfone or other instruments, i dont know even if there is such a program that does that!!!
then i installed Reaper software, i didnt understod anything of it, i have zero experience in tracks and those stuff...maybe if i put time for it i would understand it better!!
its not so easy to find time when i work and study at the same time!

but am anxious to know if there is such a program that change the sound of guitar to many other instruments, i know there is a machine that does that, called synthesizer? but a programe???!! i dont know...
