Garageband!

Hey everyone, Just thought i would post a quick thing i knocked up using a line in from my guitar amp, coupled with some samples (drums)

Ive uploaded a zip file up containing the audio file since the boards here dont allow the direct uploading of audio files!

Sounds great! I've connected my guitar direct to the line-in port so far. If I want to pre-amp do I just connect the guitar to my amp and my amp to my Mac?

You could do it that way. Another way would be to pick up a small input device, I'm using a M-Audio Pre USB, and either mic your amp, or send it through the line-in on the PreUSB. Garageband has tonnes of amp settings, so unless you're going for the exact sound that your amp makes, you may want to do it another way.

Heya

You can run a line out from your amp but MAKE SURE its not the "Speaker out" since otherwise the full poweramp power will run into your laptop.

I use a line 6 "toneport" which can act as a amp emulator when you plug your guitar in and it runs (and powered) via USB.

I use the line 6 not as an amp simulator but instead as a box to run the line out from my amp into.

Hope this helps, feel free to post back with other questions,
