I barely know what I'm asking so I will put it here. I want to take the 3.5mm input channel on my iMac and route it through some software effects and then use the processed signal in something like Skype or iChat. What's the best/lightest weight way to do this? I don't want to spend any money on something like this that seems simple. Can AU Lab pull this off? I plan on using the effects in AU Lab at least. Do I need to use something like SoundFlower to route the sound? I'm thinking I need to fake another input channel that is actually the processed version of the real input channel, right? I'm sort of asking the question before really playing around because I don't want to install and remove a bunch of software only to find out there's a simple solution using software already in OSX. I have 10.6 with developer tools installed.
