| First, let me say that I am not a computer or recording expert. But I do use my Mac to record my trumpet practice. I use a Griffin iMic USB audio interface. It plugs into the the computer's microphone jack. The external microphone can then be plugged into the Griffin iMic. There is a toggle switch on the iMic which should be pushed away from (yes, away) the microphone jack on the iMic. If you already have this set up and still have a problem, then make sure your computer "Preferences" are set on iMic external microphone instead of the internal microphone. There may also be Preferences in your software which need to be set to an external microphone. (Finally, I learned the hard way to always make sure the microphone is switched on.) Good luck. |
