IUKUSUSB Guitar Cable, Guitar to USB Interface Cord [10FT] USB to Mono 6.35mm 1/4 Audio Adapter Guitar USB Recording Cable Compatible Windows and MacOS Guitar Base to PC

The Iukus USB-A to 1/4" Mono Jack guitar lead is graced with 10ft of shielded heavy braided cable and supported by most contemporary Operating Systems from Win98 through Win 10 and IOS. While it's no substitute for a professional setup, this handy cable allows for direct connection of your instrument to a computer, laptop or tablet. It's well shielded with no noticeable latency, but you still need to keep it clear of power cables and strong electrical fields. Unusually for such a lead, the jack cover can be unscrewed to access the soldered contacts, so this lead can be repaired in the event of a break at the jack connector.Of course it can be argued that fully sealed connectors are less prone to break in the first place, so it's down to a matter of personal preference.

This is a good item and it doesn't buzz loudly like some cables that I have had in the past. It is a decent length as well. It is a bit heavy but I am not a professional musician - wields might be nicer but this is a good product for a goof solid performance. I will be getting this again if I ever need another cable.

This is a really useful little widget. It's bascially a soundcard on the end of a 1/4 jack, so you can plug your guitar (or anything with a 1/4 jack) directly into your computer.My Win10 PC recognised it straight away, and I was up and playing pretty much immediatly. As it's a USB soundcard I can imagine that if you've got a finely balanced DAW set up then plugging a random soundcard in could mess things up but on my vanilla laptop everything was fine.Once the signal is in your PC, then you can record it just as you would any other source. There was no lag that I could detect, although when you're really looking for it you always feel you can detect some microsecond of hesitation. Overdubs were straight forward and appeared where I expected them too.Nice lead, and a useful 'problem solver' to have in your kit bag.

I do a lot of recording of music and have found that connecting the audio out of an electric Yamaha piano into the Line in of a laptop is OK but just OK.Step forward the IUKUS. Simply - it’s perfect. The audio jack plugs into the piano and the USB into the laptop. I use Audacity and it recognises the IUKUS as a connected device. The sound transmission is perfect and the levels can be altered within the software.Only draw back is the fact that, because it is designed for a guitar, it is purely a mono device so no stereo but I don’t think that detracts and certainly does the job for me.For a guitar, it would be perfect, for a piano, it’s near prefect. Sound quality is great, it does not need external power and I love it.Recommended

This is a cable with a 1/4" guitar jack on one end and a tiny sound card on the other, with a USB A plug so you can plug it into a PC.As soon as I plugged it in, it was recognised by Windows as both an input and output device, and made itself the default which upset my PC royally. The cable has no means of outputting a signal, so why enable the output function?With order restored and the cable assigned as the input, I was able to record my guitar with it in Audacity (other software is available). However, no matter which audio drivers I used, the latency was really high. With the WDM drivers it was nearly half a second.I then tried it with Positive Grid BIAS FX2, BIAS AMP 2 and Amplitube 4, and none of those support using one device as an input and a different one as the output. This is actually a limitation of Windows - to get the lowest possible latency you need to use ASIO drivers, and Windows can only use one ASIO driver at a a time. Since the cable has no audio output, you would need to use a different interface device to hear the guitar.I checked this with a couple of different interfaces - I usually use a Focusrite 2i4 as my main IO device, and I also have an old Tascam US-122 which I got working on Windows 10 in Compatibility Mode (W8). I can't use both at once.So, yes, this cable will allow you to plug your guitar into your computer. However, you won't be able to monitor in real time unless you use the Windows WDM drivers, which have unuseable latency.I've given this cable a really generous three stars because it does do what it's supposed to - you can connect a guitar to a PC and record it. However, I do not recommend it, as it's pretty much useless in practical terms. Dedicated devices are available which are affordable and work much better.

This cable allows you to connect a guitar to your computer via a USB port, and it does that pretty well.It's a less versatile method of connection than using an audio interface, although it is much cheaper.You can record audio using built-in windows tools, but to get the most out of it, it's best to use either a DAW or a stand-alone guitar effects program, and many are available. Unlike some others, I haven't had bad problems with latency, and I've found this to be quite usable. It won't be replacing my Native Instruments interface, but it is handy when you just need to plug into a PC quickly.

A good quality braided cable that has a gold-plated 1/4" jack on one end and a gold-plated USB A connection at the other end. The USB plug is larger than a standard USB plug as it has the circuitry in it. The cable is 10 foot long which should be ok for recording purposes. When plugged into a PC it appears as a new audio source and output - if you are connecting a guitar then just need to set the output back to your speakers. Most recording software, such as audacity, should work fine and I also experienced no notable latency issues. The cable seems professionally made to last with the ends protected. Probably a useful cable for most guitarists.
