Perfect for using musical instrument connected to line in on the PC or Mac for your favorite applic's. There is no better in quality or workmanship. It is worth the price.
This guitar cable works extremely well with garageband, which is what I use. It works with both acoustical and electric guitar, but works better with an electric. It was definitely worth the money.
There is nothing wrong with this cable - it is good quality, albeit a tad overpriced.However, you must be made aware that for you to get any decent sound using the 'min in' and this cable - you have to get a preamp.With that being said - a 30$ ART Tube MP and this cable is still cheaper than a decent USB/Firewire solution and works just fine.
In GarageBand add a "real instrument" track and select the "monitor on" option. A lot of people seem to have experienced difficulty figuring out how to select the input source, but I'm a Mac noob and found it very straightforward. Just go into system preferences->Sound and select line input. You're all set. You can run iTunes or a DVD at the same time and play along simultaneously in GarageBand.
Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. For very simple uses, playing through my computer with this cable is fun and convenient.I also use it with Sound Studio for recording. If i travel, i don't have to bring an amp, i can just bring my laptop--just for playing by myself for fun or in small social settings. I also have a Monster iStudioLink adapter cable that i bought at the local Apple store when i got the MBP in May, but i dont' see them on the online Apple store.
I love the US 122 because it's quiet, bus powered, light weight and works well, but as simple as it is, it's more complicated than the GB Griffin cable, and it's another thing to carry around and plug in. I mainly got it to be able to plug into my MacBook Pro and noodle around the house, and do a little recording. Sometimes i get it to stop but i am trying hit or miss solutions and don't really know what it is that gets it to go away. About the same price. I've had problems with the GB sound settings, find it complicated and hard to remember what steps i used between uses, and i often get a very annoying amount of latency (delay or lag of the sound after hitting the string).
This is of course, not the cable's fault. More portable if there are amp cables where you are going when you travel. Previously i'd been using a Tascam US 122 interface for recording. It's about 6 inches long and one end plugs into the guitar, an amp cable plugs into the other end. I tried the corrections in the Help section and didnt' get results.
But the effect is intermittent. It works just like the Griffin cable but with a regular amp cable. [.].
