With all due respect, the output to input cable method is full of
pitfalls, like level control, quality, monitoring switching, and
possible screeching feedback loops. Does one know the pinouts for
sure? Is it three conductors or four? What is the level out, what is
the level in?
For the time one spent on this project one could just buy the
software and get quality and control. A 'couple of bucks' at Radio
Shack turns into more like at least $20. Making one's own cable will
cost more and might fail because their connectors melt when
soldering. Not everybody can solder, either. Radio Shack is good for
pre-made cables, batteries, and turntable stylii, but their
individual connectors are the worst.
By the way, the new version of Audio Hijack Pro can record both sides
on an iChat conversation and is fully Apple-scriptable.
Couldn't you just connect a simple cable from the speaker output
jack to the microphone input jack? A couple of bucks at Radio Shack
should cover it. If you wanted to get "fancy" you could make a
simple cable that would have 2 plugs and one jack so you could still
listen to the speakers while recording.
