@jpboogie Yes, it's possible. I can't speak for the Mac world since I'm a Windows user, but if you're on Windows, you just have to select the Spark ASIO driver for the input. However many people report problems with timing when using the Spark ASIO driver. Plus it's fixed at 48K so you have to make all your projects 48K instead of the CD-standard/Wave-file-standard of 44.1K. Many people have found greater success using the free ASIO4ALL driver, which you can set the resolution for which makes life easier with different recording projects.
However, realize that you won't get any of the backing tracks recorded, if you're playing along with those and want them recorded also. All you get through the Spark USB cable is the guitar sound. If you want the whole thing you need to get an audio interface and use output from the headphone jack on the Spark amp.
