[QUOTE="Chud, post: 1010912, member: 145344"] That seems to be the simplest way in order to do what you need to do. It won't be of the best quality, but you can worry about that once the quality of your playing improves to the point where you want a better quality input. The USB is more suited for connecting audio interface devices (though Firewire is better) that convert the signal into digital format outside of the computer and then allow recording of that signal through whatever audio program that you are using to record. The soundcards that come with computers (Core Audio for Mac) are not studio quality as far as recording/playback go (particularly recording) thus the need for external audio converters. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
