I don't know if you're familiar with the 'old' Mackie 1202 mixer but
its design pre-dates computer recording and discrete busses.
I asked Mackie not too long ago how to set up my gear with the 1202
and they gave me a 'best case' scenario, (not nearly as good as the
new Mackie 1202z)
So what I have is my line out from my guitar amp going into Channel 1
of mixer.
Aux send of mixer going to sound card input.
Sound card out going to Channel 11/12 of mixer.
Mixer Main outs to monitor.

Are you talking about a software mixer here?
I don't have anything like this with my software.

Right, I think my mixer is a natural play/record loop. Don't know how
to set it up properly.

Yes that makes sense.
I made two changes in the past week or so.
Someone suggested the noise I was getting in my recordings was due to
a cheap sound card (which I am using). Cheap but decent sound quality.
So I tried for the umpteenth time to get my AMIII card working again
with a .wav driver.
Couldn't do it once again.
In trying the above change I loaded/unloaded the AMIII wav drivers.
and I also went back to my cheap sound card and changed the input from
line in to mic in. I figured maybe mic in might give me a cleaner
sound. Who knows?
My AMIII output went in Channel 9/10 and the Tape out went into the
AMIII input.

Would that be Rolling on The Floor Masticating?
Seriously. The Mackie manual is useless for my computer recording
situation. That's why I contacted Mackie.
My sound card didn't come with a manual and my recording software
yields negative in this department too.
