I want to choose an audio interface so that I can record a guitar amp (with an SM57mike) and also use the interface to play my guitar into my Mac iBook for quiet late night practice. I have the latest Garageband on a MacOS 10.5 partition and also Garageband3 on a 10.4 partition. So far I don't have an audio interface so I need to choose one and I would p[refer to spend as litle as possible. If I can use the audio interface on a PC (without Firewire) that would be an advantage so I would prefer a USB interface. Firewire interfaced AI's carry a big premium in the UK.
I am thinking about buying the M-Audio Fast Track USB interface which is available for £65 delivered in the UK. The M-Audio Solo (Firewire) is about £140!.
From searching about I have read that the Fast Track will work with Garageband so I am fairly confident that I will be able to use it to record with a mike. Can anyone confirm that this is possible?
However, my main question is about using the Fast Track to practice. I would like to play my guitar into the Fast Track and then the iBook into Garageband and then hear the result through the iBook speakers. Is this possible?
