Hi,
I play a little guitar, and have recently purchased iLife (with Garage Band) for my 17" iMac. I want to try plugging my Fender into the audio-in port of my iMac, but am not sure about the best way to do it. I went to Guitar Center and was going to buy a 1/4" to 1/8" converter, but the guy at the store wasn't sure if that would really work. He talked about analog to digital processing and how the iMac may not be able to do the work. However, if I read the Apple web site correctly, it seems like they think it'll work. Will a simple converter really do the trick, or do I need something else? Thanks!!! |

Thanks for the reply and the 16 bit vs. 24 bit information. If I read the Apple site correctly, it looks like the Monster Cable they sell, is nothing more than a fancy 1/4" to 1/8" converter, and nothing specific to computers.
Since my origianl post, I've also stumbled upon a piece of hardware called the m-audio Mobile Pre USB. I think this may be a good investment as well. (The mbox looks like more than I need right now) Thanks!! |
