I'm want to covert audiotapes/vinyl to iTunes using Garageband - I have a 13" MacBook Air. Will this allow me to input? What would?

Yes. Go from the audio out of your stereo/turntable/cassette to the iMic. It plugs into the USB and you can set the sound control panel to use it as input, then record in Garage band. From there, send it to iTunes. The iMic has a standard mini stereo port. Mini stereo patch cables, and RCA to mini stereo cables (depending on your need) are readily available and very inexpensive.

Nothis is an output device only.For an input, you need a pre-amp device. I highly recommend the Roland Quad or Octacpture series. Not sure how many input you need. I am assuming you are using a Mac since you asked about Garageband. The Zoom TAC2 is also a nice device.

JW, I'm ordering a AE to do exactly what you are looking to do. My PB needs some space cleared up so I'm planning to put the majority of the music on the external hard drive attached to the AE. Are you able to use the N-spec on your mac laptops? If so then you should have no problem. Remember they brought this out with teh appleTV which is going to stream movie content over the N network, so music should be easy.

No, they won't. My brother had Garage Band on his computer and we used that. But I imagine a program called Audacity would work and I think it is a free download.

Using it on my Mac Mini with Mavericks and the latest version of Audacity. Works great. Get the software from http://audacity.sourceforge.net. It's open source; no charge.

It should have come with a file with that info. I do not use the program as other programs work much better. Garage Band for the Mac is perfect, you would have to look up PC versions.

Yes this is apple compatible. You just connect your recording device to your computer via a usb port. Once connected the recorder shows up like any other storage device and you can drag audio files to your desktop. I have a 2007 13.5" macbook laptop.

I don't have an Apple computer, but if the computer has a USB port and can support Audacity software, then I don't see why not.

Agreed, which is it, "yes" or "no"? The description says it works with Mac, though one must also DL Audacity, which is a free APP.

The recorder works fine with a Mac. You can download the recordings to iTunes, and use iTunes to control playback.

You can't. This isn't a suitable option for Traktor or Virtual DJ. It only works with djay for Mac.

Honestly, I've never used the software. In the past I've used Quicktime on the mac to convert vinyl with a portable Ion record player I have. And that worked fine. But I'd say give it a shot and see how it works. Sorry I couldn't be more help. T

Yes! But you'll need a usb/midi interface and you need to assign the pedals as hotkeys for whatever you want it to do. I haven't tried it with GarageBand but I know it works with logic

I have the SL-1210M5G and do a lot of vinyl transfers. First, download this free software. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ I use the 1/4" headphone jack on my receiver to 3.5mm pin on my PowerBook G4 mic input. If you need an RCA adapter for your soundcard, these are available and relatively inexpensive as well. Once you make the link between receiver and your computer, Audacity works pretty much like a tape recorder. With a little practice and a CD burner, you'll be ripping vinyl in no time. To convert to mp3, you'll need the Lame Encoder plugin available here. http://www.guidesandtutorials.com/audacity-lame.html For the best quality sound, I'd recommend you import the files in a uncompressed format. I use aiff 32 bit PCM and record @ 4100hz/32 bit floating point.

You have to have an app going. Garage band works well with it. It is basically a small midi keyboard.

Yes, it can be connected to a Mac or iPad and used with Garageband, or to a Windows computer and used with DAW software.

I think the software included only works with ITunes. You'd have to use Audacity or another software.
