Simple Backing Tracks - what programme?

Dumbass newbie question here, so sorry in advance.

I have a GT5 boss pedal and normally buy all my backing tracks, but now looking for something that both has the ability to play some preset ones (like a sequencer - that maybe I can edit) and the ability to plug my GT5 in and lay down some chord progression and loop them so to jam over.

Does any of the cakewalk programmes offer this? I would prefer one that is simpliest to use. Seem a few on the net but the sound is awful.

Also Im guessing it isnt to hard to plug my gt5 into this software ?

thanks for the reply steve, ill see if I can get a demo of the home studio package to try, is In your opinion is it easy to link up a guitar effect unit to the pc as im totally new to it, I have had marshall stacks for years but never used the pc to play into

haha thanks mate. Steve was the guy I was talking to on the phone a t work while making that post. Wierd how the old brain works!

Strummy,

I have a cure for that. Take 500mg of ginko biloba with a shot of Glenmorangie followed by a pint of Guinness. That should take care of the temporary amnesia. If that doesn't work try a I - IV- V blues progression for about 30 minutes and you should be as good as new!

Which? The Ginko/Glenmorangie/Guinness? Or the I-IV-V progression? Or both?
