One problem that most guitarists come up against is that the computer's monitor interferes badly with the
guitar pickups, resulting in a nasty buzz on the recording. One way around this problem is to switch off the monitor just before recording and use
keyboard commands to start and stop the recording process.

If you can't switch the monitor off for some reason, sit as far away from it as possible when recording and rotate your position to find the point where the buzz minimal.

Flat-screen LCD monitors save space and eliminate the electromagnetic interference generated by the coils of a typical monitor. If you record a lot of guitar, or are short on space, such a monitor could be a good investment.
