Good deal! I agree that's a great improvment!

That's good to be aware of.

As clean & quiet as possible is best when you are just a beginner. Now start practicing!

[quote=KLZ39]It was just the guitar connected via an aux cable to the computer's Line-in port, the imput volume is on 60 out of 100 (as i said a bit far from the middle) but, i was not using any kind of real music software, just Quicktime Player

Fair enough. But I know from personal experience that computer interfaces can be very sensitive & not linear on the volume. So you might notice a big difference between 20, 40 or 60.

[quote=KLZ39]I totally need to stop using garbage level equipement, i know!

Haha! Well, sure. But all you really need is to get a clean quiet tone to start practicing! And I think you are there!

[quote=KLZ39]unless you find some other thing i need to change on that video i think i can finally start preacticing with amplification... just need to be aware of mutting to clean it as i can

....Right?

You bet! Best of success with it!
