Review on 🔌 StarTech.com ICUSBAUDIO USB to Stereo Audio Adapter Converter - White, One Size: Streamlined Connectivity Solution by Travis Flores

Newer Macs don't seem to have audio input anymore, so this was my cheapest option. My goal was to record bass guitar parts in the garage band using a 1/4" to 1/8" converter on the mic input of this unit. I just received this product last night and Garage Band/Mac OS 10.6.8 immediately recognized the converter and asked if I would like to use it for I/O. This aspect of PlugNplay was definitely a good part. The bass response I got was excellent and it picked up low frequencies, but I will say the line hiss was picked up along with it. For the money I spent and the expectations at the level of this independent project, I can live with that. Maybe there is a way to solve this problem, but I was having tracking lag and needed to always correctly shift the recorded track alignment to the reference track. Monitoring worked decently when using headphone converters instead of a computer jack. Overall worth the price but be aware of potential issues. Anyway, it helped me unlock a music project!
