A friend has asked me for assistance with recording from his guitar to his PC. He has an electric guitar, a "mixer", and onboard sound. He tells me that at the moment he is plugging his guitar into the mixer, then the mixer into his PC via a USB cable. Apparently he's experiencing about half a second's delay from playing a note to it being picked up by Cubase/Soundforge.
Someone told him that it was to do with the fact he is using onboard sound, but this doesn't sound right to me as he claims to be using a USB connection.
He has a budget of ~£50 to either buy a soundcard or whatever is needed to record his guitar on his PC. Can anyone offer any assistance? I know nothing about this kind of stuff.
