Reason # 423 Why Macs are terrible.

You need a $35 attachment to use a typical microphone.

that being said... does anyone have one i can borrow? im doing that DIY radio thing for faction on sirius.. (round 2)

if i cant find one i guess ill just record on my pc.

Ok I guess the $20,000 question is if you hate the mac and are always having problems then why didn't you just record on the pc to start with?

..because im always hearing how garageband is gods gift to recording. i guess it is.. if you have professional equipment.

but those of use who have a typical $20 microphone that works on 34548574385435734 pc's on the planet are SOL though..

Ahh you are talking about a real microphone not some dinky thing they throw in with everything. They tell me Garage is good but I've never had a reason to use it.

one would assume that since macs are so "great" at audio/video that a typical microphone would be fine. what if i just wanted to use it for skype? does it make sense that i'd want to spend $200 on a microphone for VOIP ?

apparantly i need a mic "with line level signals".. so i guess a professional, powered mic?

or.. the "cheap" way to do it is the iMic thing by Griffin which lets you use "mic level signals" through USB.
