Is the problem that Live is not recording the audio or that you can't hear the guitar while recording the audio? Those are two different things.

If you thnk you won't have the same problem by switcdhing to other software, trust me...you will have the same problem. Monitoring external audio while recording is probably the most common problem people seem to have with computer recording.

So let us know whether it's the audio not being recorded or the monitoring during recording and we can help you out.
