I want to input stereo audio via a USB port (which I have the hardware to accomplish). What I want now is a simple app that will recognize the input so I can hear it and record it. I do not want to use Garageband. Anyone know a good simple app to do this (similar to Audio Hijack)?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
You can use Quicktime, which is bundled with OSX, to record audio from an external source. It's a much simpler process than Garageband.
You know, I tried opening the 2 QT apps I have.....QTplayer and QTplayer7.
In neither did I find a way for it to recognize the audio input source (coming from the USB).
What am I missing?
Let me add-when I set the System Pref. to the USB input I was able to see the source was coming in but just couldn't hear it.
I even did a Photo Booth movie recording and it did record the USB audio source.
It's there, I just need to bring it out and my guess is there must be a way thru QT as you suggest.
Thanks
If you are stuck on Tiger 10.6.7, then try Audacity or Sound Recorder X from macupdate.

If you are running 10.6.8 or later, then go to the App Store and check out a few of the many free and/or inexpensive Audio Recording App's there...
To play the audio input thru to audio output, you either need one of the App that I mentioned below or Line-In.
