2.0 out of 5 stars Works - but not acceptable, December 17, 2009

I bought this cable to interface my electric guitar with my Macbook Pro in order to record using Garage Band.

Simply put, the device seems to technically work, but there is a split second delay between playing and hearing. It may be a half or quarter second delay, but it's enough to completely interfere with my timing while playing. I found it unusable and returned it.

Now I'm using a simple 1/4" to 1/8" mini plug into my computer's line in port without any problems.

I wanted a chord which would connect my guitar to my mac that I could use in Garage band. It did just that. No problems or complaints here!

No fuss with this little device. Just plug it in and away it goes. I used it with a laptop PC and Audacity 1.2.6 (from sourceforge). On my PC I set Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Device Properties > Audio. On Audacity I set Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O. It's been working ever since. No noise. Good sound. Good price. Transparent - as it should be.
