So, whats your solution to get the guitar amp output and the backing trackmp3 playing in a single audio output Softwaredevice recommendations would really be great.

There are some disadvantages to this approach but it has been fairly convenient and produces a reasonably good result.

You can also experiment for instance by panning the backing track 70 left and panning your guitar 70 right.

Its nice to be able to both hear the backing track and also keep your focus on your own sound, and I do think it can be hard to get this balance in a simple, easy-to-use practice solution.

Or you could use a line in to plug your amp in to your computer, and use a simple DAW (Garage Band or similar is fine) to distribute the signal that way.

Though usually when people use Garage Band its with a non-amplified guitar signal.

My Roland Cube mini has it, but plenty of other brands do it too.

Heres some photos of some - one cheap, the other more upmarket.

You would connect an MP3 player (or whatever) into the 3.5mm aux-in, and headphones into the headphone socket.

This is more expensive, but more flexible, and adds opportunities such as recording.

I have an Alesis portable PA amp with mic, instrument and phono inputs each on a separate gain control.

If you use something like this, you probably need an amp simulation pedal to make the guitar sound musical.

I dont think they sound as good as the state of the art software solutions right now but I routinely use my Pod X3 Live for home practice (yep, a bit bulky but thats all I have).

You can either connect this units headphone output to your line in or you can connect a pair of speakers (or headphones) to your unit and connect your computer output to its aux-in (if it has one).

Actually the unit that I use also functions as a USB sound card, so I just connect my speakers to it.

Then run the output from the Torpedo into your Audio Interface for your laptop and use a DAW or whatever to play the track while monitoring the input from the Torpedo so that you can alter levels.

The strat plugs into the M-Track and the M-track has a USB plug that goes into the computer.

I have a Mac PowerBook running Garage Band but the unit comes with a software package that looks more or less like Garage Band, I just didnt feel like learning a new package.

Output is either through headphones or the monitor speakers plugged into the computer.

I can add anything in my iTunes Library, including songs and backing tracks to Garage Band and it all mixes together.

Im definitely not all that savvy with either Garage Band or sound electronics so it took me a little while to figure it out, but it works like a charm.

You can also connect via bluetooth and play along and model the sound of anything in your music collection.
