Customer Reviews

Works well ...
... Provided you follow the directions. The people writing the bad reviews of this product seem to have difficulty reading the very specific directions regarding how to get your computer to recognize it. For Garageband, the easiest way is to plug the cord in BEFORE you open Garageband, then open Garageband and open Preferences ... then go to the audio plug-in. Garageband won't recognize it, but you can still use it. It just won't have an officially recognized name.

The product itself works well, given the price, however I found that it had a tendency to sit loose inside the guitar jack, not tight like a typical high-end guitar chord. What does that mean? It means you have to sit still while you're recording. If you move too much, the jack might come loose and your recording will pick up a very audible "CLICK." Other than that, the quality is quite decent.

The Lightsnake for Instruments
I got the Lightsnake because it was so cheap. Compared to the $200 recording tools that my local music stores offered, $40 for a simple tool won me over. I expected the quality to be terrible. I was definetly surprised when I plugged in the Lightsnake and within 5 minutes I was able to record some guitar riffs with pretty good quality. The reason the Lightsnake is so cheap is because it doesn't come with recording software. The software costs about $150. I lucked out and was able to use a friends Soundforge. I definetly recommend the lightsnake to anyone who's interested in making simple recordings

not plug and play
This cable does what it's supposed to. I've heard many people just give up on this product without actually getting it to work in the first place. Yes it's true that the company who makes the lightsnake cable declares it as plug and play but that doesn't mean you can pop open any program. With that being said I have gotten this product to work on Mac OSX10, Vista, and XP. Furthermore I have also gotten this cable to record using Adobe Audition, Sony Acid pro 6 and GarageBand. The trick to making this work on XP/Vista is a driver called ASIO4All which will then let you select the usb cable as an input. Use google to answer your questions before giving a bad review. For the price the quality is great and I'd recommend it.
