Nostalgia is not inherently a crutch. Music can come from a lot of different places and nostalgia is one legit avenue for that.

Nah, musically nostalgia is kind of a crutch. I'm here for crunch wav channel bass.

But isn't that why we are all here to begin with?

Never!

Stop living in the past man

Or get a USB interface like a Scarlett 2i2 and use a dual 1/4" to 1/8" adapter. That's been my setup for a year or so.

Well, I guess some PCs only have the Mic input, as in the picture. But if you have the option, ya know, use the line in.

I swear to god there was a tutorial on 8bc exactly like this and that's how it ended.

Oh yes. You are correct. I rarely use PCs hence the error.

Edited for posterity.

I second that.

Also, use the line-in, most Mic inputs are mono.

For macs without audio input jacks, I use a thunderbolt audio interface to input audio to the mac. Usb or firewire devices can also be used. I was only photographing that PC cause I imagine it will be what most beginners have at their disposal.

The funny thing here is that your tutorial shows a pc with a mic input, but the screenshots are of a mac, which do not have a mic input....or do they? It seems like the headphone jack used to be able to double as a mic input, but not any longer. Is that right?

What's the best way to get audio in to a mac?

I don't get it. Did someone do that?

hows that working out for ya
