In the end, I had to use a, which everyone bashes. $%^&*andrewface said:im just trying to record on guitar pro with a cheap studio mic and i plugged it into the macbook and i cant get it to pick up anysound....i turned off the built in mic and tried to turn on the line in one how do i get this work?
was it a subconscious urge to avoid ridicule that made you omit what it is that you use?thejadedmonkey said:I had to use a, which everyone bashes.
Did you read the Primer Zim linked to?andrewface said:so im confused?
it doesnt work then?
from the primer said:though the mac audio-in port does have a mic pre built-in, it is accessible through an apple proprietary connector called PlainTalk. it seems this connector is longer than a standard 1/8" plug and can access the mic pre's phantom power. therefore, plugging in an OTS condenser microphone, with an XLR to 1/8" adapter, won't work.
