Warning: a bit loud

My plan for the day was to simulate a four-track on my Pentium II laptop to record a couple of tracks from my guitars on it, accompanied with synthesised drums and maybe some light post-processing. Spoiler alert: it was a triumph.

But at first, I needed to make sure I can record my guitar. As you can hear, I can. It doesn't sound quite as good as when I record it over USB capture card connected to a modern Logic Pro, with all sorts of noise gate filters enabled, but it sounds on par with lame punk demos from 30 years ago, which is exactly what I'm aiming for today.

Side note: many people swear that the tool for this back in the days was Pro Tools. I tried; it was so sluggish I couldn't use it even to record a single track. I'll stick to tools that worked for me this time.
