[comp.sys.mac] looking for sound input device

Help! I'm looking for a good sound input device that I can BUY. It
doesn't have to be some great piece of high-tech wonderment-- I just
want one that's fairly inexpensive and does the job-- namely, lets
me input sounds into my mac (to use in soundmaster, etc.). I realize
there's a SID schematic available by ftp, but it is really
complicated and I don't know the first thing about electronics.

So-- anyone know where a good find might be? (One of the SID guys
wanna build me one for a fee?) Anyone? Help!

Hi Jason --

Sounds like you want a MacRecorder to me.  It has a built-in microphone, and 
comes with software that allows you to listen to the digitized sounds, view the
sound prints, edit the sounds, and save them in certain formats (SoundMaster, 
Sound-Play, snd resource files, etc.).  Since the mike is built-in, you can
record from practically anything: speech, TV, your stereo, the radio...

I think they run in the vicinity of $135 from MacConnection (or your favorite 
mail-order vendor).
