plugging standard guitar amplifier into mac airbook

[Jonathan Slyker]

Hi guys,

Sorry if I could have found the answer searching the old posts. I'm so lazy...you guys always give the best answer very fast.

How do I plug an amplifier into my laptop, assuming the amplifier has a headphone output?

My computer (mac airbook) does not have a mic input, only the headphone interface.

I'm trying to use garage band. I asked the question in the Apple store and all the guy could do is scratch his $^#$%^ and start googling for the answer. Really??

I would like to do it REAL CHEAP.

Can you help me?

Thanks so much.

Hey, great minds think alike. When I didn't get a response, I reposted (verbatim) in the "recording" section.

I got a response from Clete Ritta. I followed his advice. Last night, before I noticed that you had responded, I ordered the Behringer unit you recommended and also a similarly priced unit by Griffin. I figured, for $30, I could see which one worked better.

Thanks so much for your help.
