Easily and inexpensively connect your instrument directly to your computer.

This LightSnake 1/4" to USB instrument cable is basically a "sound card on a cable" that lets you record audio from your guitar or other instrument directly onto your computer. The LightSnake offers true plug-n-play operation: simply connect the 1/4" mono plug of the 10 ft LightSnake cable to your instrument and then connect the USB end to one of your computer's USB ports. No additional drivers are needed for Win 98 SE/Win ME/Win 2000/Win XP/Win Vista, or Mac OS9/OS X.

An embedded 16-bit analog-to-digital converter with audio signal boost ensures extremely low audio loss and a 48kHz sampling rate provides you with high audio quality while recording. The HSDL (Host Side Data Loss) Noise Reduction function prevents any unwanted noise when converting the audio signal to digital format and saving to your computer. SoundTech's patented "Live when Lit" cable ends glow when connected properly and flash when sound is being transmitted.

The 10' LightSnake includes a DVD with 30-day trial versions of all of Sony Media Software titles, including Sound Forge, Acid, Vegas, etc. This addition makes the cable a complete solution right out of the box. Mac users can use GarageBand or any other Mac-compatible recording software.

One thing that surprised me was that it plugs right into the guitar, and you dont need to run it through your amp or anything so that's really nice. then I recorded a couple of riffs, and we really impressed with the clarity of the sound. the only downside is the lack of distortion, and my guitar doesn't sound that great when its naked.

HOWEVER I would highly recommend this for someone recording with a acoustic-electric, because you'll get a clean and a bright sound. I do believe it is a bit pricey.

I use this on my Macbook Pro to connect my Guitars/Basses GarageBand and Logic Pro. Have never had any troubles with it at all. I looked around and other USB interfaces to your computer will cost you quite a bit more. This is an excellent product. The only thin I do not care much for is the green LED lights that are on the entire time you are using it. I found them to be annoying after a while. Other than that, not a single complaint.

Great Product. Must read the instructions

This is a great product. My XP installed in with no problem. You MUST read the instructions though. Don't just assume it's going to work right away. I made that mistake at first then I realized I had to follow the manual to get it to work properly. The Glowing lights are really cool. You can see you music being played from the data transfer. Also, USE the spitter. It cancels the lantency. Plug the USB port into your computer then plug the splitter into your amp. That's the best combination. Best $40 I ever spent!!

First don't be discouraged by some of the negative comments here. People need to learn how to set up their hardware. I've been using the Lightsnake for several months now and I am completely satisfied with this purchase. I use it with Sonar, Cubase, Guitar Tracks pro, Amplitube, Revalver, Guitar Rig 3 ect. ect. It is far quieter than my on board sound card, and is far more convenient. Get ASIO4ALL and set it up right. You wont be sorry!
