Guitar Into Macintosh, newbie getting started question Options

[oreo]

hi macmusicians

i have downloaded and installed PRO TOOLS free and the free version of AmpliTube... so now i want to hook up my electric guitar and start recording some stuff.

but i amn't quite sure if i need anything else to be honest..

i need to get started as quick as possible before the AmpliTube free stops working

i have a G4 Dual 450MHz 768MB (firewire,USB)

anybody that can help?
i live in sweden so if there are any Swedishtalking you can write in Swedish.. otherwise English will do fine

o.r.e.o

well here is the thing... I have read that if you get a 1/4" to 1/8" adaptor... you can use the mic input (not sure if your model has the 1/8" mic in but should)... however your line signal from the guitar in will not be so great and using the internal apple audio for recording is subpar as far as quality goes. So ideally, your best bet is to invest in a audio interface of some type preferably with a preamp for the guitar signal.

just as an idea... Line 6 now has a USB interace just for guitarists that lets you dial up your favorite guitar player sounds and lets you record directly to most audio apps via USB and its reasonably priced at around $150 or so.
