You are correct, Jaimie, in regard to the good old Windows-based PC system -
but the thread was begun in reference to recording audio to a Mac. Toast is
a Mac platform program, and Macs have a 1/8" stereo input which quite
acceptably will receive audio from most sources - unlike PCs which usually
must be configured for audio purposes. (Longtime Mac user here...) Just
trying to clarify.
