Hi, i recently got myself a mac book pro 13" i5 processor i think.
Well my main issue is that the system does not have a line in port. So i need to find another way of plugging hardware such as my decks into it.
Does anyone have any ideas?:D

The later 13" MBP's have a combined Line In/Line Out. If you need both at the same time then you will have issues. I would recommend an external USB sound card.

This works fine unless you need both line in AND out. In that case, something like an iMic might do to provide a separate USB interface, or you would look at a nice box like the Apogee Duet.

Thanks, i'm made up with that news. that imic thing looks good, bit of a gimmick freak, so if it doesn't cost a arm and a leg i may think about it.. thanks again for your help.
