i was looking for a mic instead of an audio interface to record my guitar off (im just using the mic on my e-mac). i came across an 'i-mic' it says that it allows any mic to run on the mac. but it also mentions MIDI! amd i was wondering how the hell you could turn an anolouge mic int a MIDI file???

First of all. You have an eMac. It has its own audio input. The iMic is just for computers with NO audio in, and is a REALLY BAD buy. I own one and only used it once before i got an MBOX instead. DON`T BUY IT.
Second, you can not put anything into an eMac, exept bigger HD or more RAM. So pci sollutions are not an option for you. You should consider an external audio interface with good preamps. Your emac has lousy preamps so the guitar signal is weak in garageband/logic. Get something like m-audio mobilepre or firewire 410 or better, OR go large and get digidesign hardware with protools, or motu hardware and logic/dp. thats the best way for You to get your guitar onto you mac and get it to sound good. good luck -------------------- @ home:
