This came straight out of the headset jack, and I forgot about that trick of holding the little pin thing in when you hit record. I just wanted to see if my MBP's line-in jack was taking stereo input, which it is. What I want now is a mixer/preamp that works for mics, so I can stop using my guit

Inside there should be a little lever at the top left corner to detect whether a tape is write protected. If you can hold that in while hitting play/record you won't need a tape. At least I recall doing that back in the day to get a portable tape recorder to work as an impromptu mic with preamp

Heh. I hooked up an old cassette recorder to my line-in once I could hear it, and pressed Record, thus activating its internal mic and channeling it through the Mac. It made a MUCH better microphone than my Shore concert mic hooked to a Roland MicroCube guitar amp. If you ignored the cassette-

not an application. here's what i do though. i have an olympus DM4-20. I plug that into my mac via USB. then, I'll open garageband then set garageband's mic to the olympus DM4-20. Then I plug my device into the linen port of the OlympusDM4-20. Then, turn on the monitor in garageband and i'm

I know Macs have digital optical audio out which is how I connect my Mac Mini to my home theater receiver. I wonder if the reverse is possible. Could I actually send 5.1 audio into the Mac and record it with garage band or the like. Hmm. I'll have to try that sometime. I currently use an Art US

The app and the line-in jack are patching Stereo; I tested it with a tape player I patched in, and with the line-out signal from y Cable box, and all were in beautiful HD stereo. Pretty cool, actually. My amp seems to be putting out mono, and my mics, both the ones I have, also put out mono.

Are you sure it isn't the app? I have no stereo equipment to test, but might the app be outputting mono? Also, I noticed next to no delay, at least it was good enough to play along to a song. You might try closing other applications to free up ram; if osx is good at one thing, it's eating ram li

I already installed it and tested it; other than the about quarter-second latency in the patch-through, and the fact that my amp seems to be putting out a *MONO* signal which bugs me, what a great little app! With this, I might start doing some sampling and experimental stuff. I already used i

I need some program which will capture the signal from my line-in jack and feed it back out my headset jack, so that I can hear in real-time what's being put through my line-in port. I find it much easier to adjust levels when I can hear it real-time. Is there such an app for that? ' • Mark
