Your best bet, as been stated before, would be a USB or Firewire interface, like the mBox or, if you wanna record several instruments, the mBox Pro seems like a budget-conscious way to set up a project studio. After that, I'd use an amp simulator instead of your cube, or if you really want control, get a good microphone, and mic the cube, setting everything the way you want it. You can enter the realm of large-diaphragm stdio condensers relatively inexpensively with a Chinese mic, but be warned, those aren't the best. Garage Band is a great project scratchpad, but it doesn't allow you really fine adjustments of things like PT or Logic. Unfortunately, Logic isn't really accessible yet, but I feel like it's coming. Currently, I'm still Boot Camping, and running Sonar64 in Windows 7-64 with a Presonus Firestudio Mobile.
