On Facebook marketplace I see a few Alesia Nitro kits for around $250-$300 used. I was thinking of starting there and using Superior Drummer 3 to make it sound better.

I started taking drum lessons a couple weeks ago and my instructor recommended a used acoustic set (I live alone, not in an apartment). But my goal is to be able to record things in Logic and I also like the thought of using an E-kit with Clone Hero or similar for learning.

I'm referring to this cable specifically:

I’m new to electric guitar, but my end goal is to be able to learn and record some heavy metal stuff on the side for fun. Lately I’m especially into some of Sleep Token’s stuff, like the heavy guitar part that comes in on the track Look to Windward, or Emergence (in case that context helps). Also love classic stuff like Metallica’s Enter Sandman.

Would either of these tools be able to help me achieve these sounds? Is one objectively better than the other, or are both solid / it just comes down to personal preference?

Thanks for helping a newbie out.

I ordered it new off Amazon, and the box was sealed, which makes this a really weird occurrence. The products must be the same size, because the Tonex Plug was fit in the box perfectly, to the point that I didn’t realize I had received the wrong product until I tried to set up the mobile app and realized the instructions don’t match the buttons on the product…

That said, I’m wondering if I “lucked out” and if this would be worth keeping? I am new to electric guitar. I’ve played a bit of acoustic growing up. I’m interested in learning and recording heavy metal tracks. Metallica, Sleep Token, Mick Gordon style stuff, you name it. Does anyone here know which would suit me better?
