1 out of 5 stars erratic & cheaply manufactured   June 15, 2008

I've had two of these devices, & they are simply not very good. I (tried to) use it for home recording on Garageband with a Mac (electric guitar or mic'ed instruments). The first iMic was erratic - sometimes it worked, sometimes I got one or several of the following problems: hideous buzzing or bleeping, latency of up to half a second or more, it sometimes even crashed my machine (& Macs rarely crash or have problems with peripherals). Eventually it fell to pieces (no, I didn't stomp on it). I thought it could be that I had just bought a dud, so I bought another - same problems. To be fair, when it works, it works fine, but who wants to spend time troubleshooting when you could be playing?

Spend a bit more money & buy one of the other audio interfaces out there (m-audio, Presonus, Digidesign....). BTW the consensus among reviewers seems to be that firewire devices work better.



4 out of 5 stars good audio output   June 13, 2008

got this little thing because the headphone socket on our laptop was getting very flakey. So instead of using that socket we used this device in one of the USB sockets. It works fine, the audio is comparable to a laptop soundcard. Haven't tried recording with it.

I bought this product as I have damaged the audio out jack on the front of my notebook.

I use it for connecting external speakers and using Skype.

I just plugged this unit in and it worked immediately. No need to even install drivers. The sound quality is greatly enhanced both on my speakers and the headset I use.

I couldn't be more impressed, the product exceeds my expectations.

I recommend you buy this tiny (5cm) adaptor.

I found this simple little gadget extremely easy to use to copy my old casette tapes onto my Mac. Simply plug one end into the back of the tape deck and the other end into the USB port on the Mac. Download the free software, Final Vinyl, and simply press play on the tape deck and record on the Final Vinyl. You can then import the music file into iTunes. Really simple, even for the IT numpty like me.

Using the Griffin 9066-IMIC2imic - USB Interface automatically re-routes your audio so that no inputs go directly to the outputs, the only channels routed to the output are wave, sw synth, and cd player. Only internally generated audio goes out.
It does NOT 'eliminate computer noise and ground hum' that is a blatant lie. I bought it because my laptops internal computer noise on the line in and line out channels is awful and renders it useless for serious music production and recording projects. I thought this would be a solution to that problem. The reality of the situation is that all it does is inconveniently re-route my audio only adding to the problem.
It is a jolly good external socket/adapter. Great if you need one.
If you already have sockets for mic.& line-in/out but have a computer-noise problem you need an external analogue-to-digital converter of some sort. After trying the Sweex External Soundcard which I found was shockingly worse than my rubbish Asus soundcard, I chose to buy a stand-alone solid state line-level audio recorder that uses compact flash cards and can transfer files via usb after recording.
