How to play electric guitar into Macbook Air 2014
Hi there,
I have recently become interested in playing my guitar directly into garageband to use the modelled amps and effects in Garageband itself. This hi-tech style of recording is very new to me so forgive me if this appears simple!
I have currently tried a set up where I connect my guitar into a multi fx and run it through the output using a 1/4 inch cable with a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter plugged directly into the headphones.
At present the signal from the guitar doesn't appear to be recognised by the track in garageband. I am looking for some clarity as to what I have to do...
Should I buy a USB interface to play into (and if so, which make and model would be best?) or is there something I can do to play into the Macbook Air's internal sound card?
Many thanks in advance!
Matt.
