Hi I'm a total beginner at max msp still, and I am trying to figure out how I can hook up my guitar to a max patch I made that affects sound. Can anyone tell me? Thank you!

Do you have an external sound card ?

No, I don't... All I have is a small audio interface that I could connect to the computer by USB. Do I need one of those?

Do you have an instrument input on that interface ?

Yeah I do!

There's a line/guitar in jack.

This patch will get audio in and working and give you a visual so you can give it the old 'testing testing' etc and see it works.

the rest is in 'options -> audio status' and just make sure you have selected your interface and its all on, plugged in the right channel, gain up etc.

Regards,

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.
