phatcactus said:...so long as it's got an output.
Arden said:Set the input source to either External Mic or Sound In. You should see some activity now. If you still don't, you might need a preamp to boost your incoming signal.
phatcactus said:If your Mac doesn't have audio-in, then yeah.
I think I'll roll out to Radio Shack tonight and pick up some cables. I'll post back here with my experience.

Plugging the guitar straight into your machine might not give you a good enough signal so the iMic would do it but don't just buy one by default. Have you got a guitar amp you could use as a preamp? You don't need GarageBand to record but it will do a better job than SoundStudio since it's got amp moddeling etc to make your sound nicer.
monktus said:The cable sounds fine, I can't see how it could be the wrong one (unless it's faulty). Have you checked to see if you're getting an input in the sound control panel?
Nummi_G4 said:Yeah, no input. My current adapter is mono to stereo... do I need mono to mono? I was at the Apple Store today, they had mono to mono.
