Works good for me. If you use the ASIO drivers you can take advantage of full 24 bit conversion and low latency.

Well, I bought the darn thing and I'm trying to get it to work.

I plugged the USB cable into the back of my Apple brand flat screen. My system recognises that there is infact USB Audio there now, along with the usual mic-in. I got this today and on my lunch break I tried hooking it up. Unsucessfully. Now I'm back at work again and trying to go over what is wrong. I tried a number of different ways to hook all this up. I've got a wah pedal that goes into a footboard and that in turn goes into my amp. No biggie. I figure I'll hook a line from my amp into the iMic. iWas wrong. No sound. I'm wondering if the 1/4 to 1/8 jack that I'm using is the problem. Could it be that the adapter needs to be a sterio one rather than mono, EVEN though my amp is fed via mono?

Blah. Help is appreciated.

Ok, so I took an apple microphone extension cord and just hooked one end into the sound in on the iMic and then into my line out on my amp with a 1/8 adapter and it works great. There's quite a bit of ground loop going on, but hey... atleast it works. Just for those that were following my crisis.

The one thing you haven't said yet about your problem is where you had the switch set on the iMic. IIRC, it's pretty unintuitive: I believe for recording an electric guitar signal they say on their "Getting Started" page that you need to have the switch set toward the microphone icon. Did you?

This may be what Levon River said that you need to switch to the correct setting. I had problems originally as well with monitoring the signal with no latency. i think you are on the right track. If you are still having problems post the equipment you are using?

Yes, of course I had it set on microphone. You ca't record on the audio out switch. And the switch itself was turned to the mic position.

Try what you think is the audio out position anyway. On imic its not clear which way it should be. I haven't used mine for a while but I've a feeling its the wrong way round blink.gif
