Re: USB interfaces
I have a toneport. Here's how I use it:
plug guitar into toneport. Toneport goes into computer via USB. Use Gearbox to select amp/effects, and open Garageband. On a new track, make sure that you enable the Monitor feature so you can hear playing. From there, you can either plug headphones into the computer's headphone jack, or you can run a 1/4 inch cable from the Toneport to an amp. Preferably, since the Toneport is acting as a virtual Preamp, you'll run the cable into the power amp of your amp. This way you don't have that second preamp affecting the sound. If you have a full frequency amp like a keyboard amp or modeling amp, it can sound pretty spectacular.
