HD 1080 with an extern microphone?

Hello –
I’d like to buy the Live! Cam Socialize HD 1080.
But: Is it possible to record the voice with an other Microphone than with the integrated one? Or: When I plug in a special microphone in my notebook, will then the integrated microphone be switched off automatically or can I do that?
(Sorry for my English)
Best regards - Marc

Well, sounds like your RAID ARRAY is choking on the media. How fast is it rated for? 250MB/s? 300MB/s? What is the data rate of that captured footage? Seems like it would be MIGHTY HIGH if it is 4:4:4 1080psf.

Recording With An External Microphone.

I have a microphone with a 3.5mm output, can I connect it to my MacBook Pro and record voice tracks? Also, if possible, what softwares are best for the recording process?
I bought my MacBook in August 2010 and the microphone is Azden SMX-10.
Thank you for feedback!
Cheers!

If it fits into the port, you can hold option and try to select the volume slider in the top of the menu bar to switch the headphone port to input.
That answer is incorrect I am afraid, the MacBook Pro does not have a microphone input, it has a line input which is significantly lower in gain than required for a microphone. That is why your microphone is not providing much level.
You should purchase a USB microphone interface, there are many and they are inexpensive.
Here are the MBP specifications:
Connections and expansion
MagSafe power port
Gigabit Ethernet port
FireWire 800 port (up to 800 Mbps)
Two USB 2.0 ports (up to 480 Mbps)
Thunderbolt port (up to 10 Gbps)
Audio line in
Audio line out
SDXC card slot
Kensington lock slot

Extreme Problem with Disconnecting External Microphone and Headphone.

I just got my first Toshiba A355D-S6921 6OCT2009 Display. I can not remove External Head or Mic without a High Pitch Squeal since their is no External Volume control. Fixed only by Powering down the laptop. I could not take my external out to add someone elses. Could cause a person to wreck if your kids were using the computer in your car. What can I do to fix this problem?

That knob is indeed a volume-control dial. It's electronic; so it has no stopping point. Apparently, yours is not working.
Pressing Fn + Esc should mute the volume.

Recording video with an external microphone

Hi, I have been looking into buying some equipment for location recording and I just wondered if anyone had the answer to a little question that's niggling away at me.
I want to record videos using the Ipod Touch (5th gen) camera but I want to use an external mic rather than the built in mic to record the sound for the video.
I will be using the Apogee Duet plugged into the lightning connection of the Ipod Touch and I just want to know if the Ipod will default to using the Apogee for the sound while I record videos.
If anyone has any experience or just knows a little more about this I would be very grateful for an answer. I just don't want to spend all that money just to discover that I have to record the video and audio seperately.
Thanks

I thought so but I wasn't sure seeing as how the Apogee connects to the lightning connection rather than the headphone jack like some other audio interfaces. On closer look at some other audio interfaces it seems they tend to connect to the 30pin or lightning connection so it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for your help aqu8!

External microphones don't work with audio input

Tell me its not true that an ordinary mic won't work with the audio input....I have 2 mics which I know to work mini jack [tried both stereo and mono] and zip! nothing....what is wrong with this equation
any ideas from the floor? [do I really have to go and buy another usb headset or an iMic to resolve this??
please tell me there's another option!
thanks
Tony

I have been unable to get the microphone input with a Viewsonic 22" monitor with webcam to work with either iChat or iVisit with my Mac Pro. There have been other reports on the web about newer versions of the OS 10 inactivating the audio input for several programs. Is this why the microphone does not work or is it true that the audio input does not act as one? If the audio input does not work with an external microphone, what is it for?

Lion / External Microphone problem on Line-In port

I am having a problem with an external microphone on the line-in port on side .
I now have tried two mics: 1) Logitech and 2) Gear-Head
I can't get it to be seen on the system preferences nevermind any applications.
Hardware: MacBook Pro AND iMac (purchased only 3 weeks ago).
Software: Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (Build 11A511 from developer seed)
The USB Mic works fine.
Headphone works fine on same head set.
Any help would be appreciated.
Patrick
Keywords: mic, "no sound bars", linein, ext microphone, Lion, Screenflow, Screen Flow,

OK, here is the deal!
The audio input on the side or back of the Mac is not for passive non-amplified microphones. You need a microphone with a pre-amp or put one in-line between the mic jack (male) and the computer (female) audio port.
Watch this External Mic Issue Video for more specifics.
This is more of a general hardware issue and not that of OS X Lion.

Recording with an external computer mic in Garageband?

Hi,
I am trying to record an interview for a podcast on location and was trying to use an external computer mic. This isn't a professional mic or anything, just one that goes into your phone jack or line-in. cheap little thing many computers come with. the problem is i can't seem to get the recording to go through the mic. when i use Built-In Line-In nothing records. If i switch to Built-In Microphone, obviously then it works, but is using the internal mic.
Can anyone help me in the appropriate setting to use with an external microphone NOT coming in through an Audiophile or similar set-up (i have used a professional mic as well with an Audiophile, but needed something more portable)
thank you in advance!

thanks - i tried bulletsandbones and have to admit i'm not sure it helped me. But maybe i'm missing something. I changed the recording options to Built-In Line-In but still nothing was recorded. the second link just says "depends on your processor" so it's not too much help. Basically is there a way for me to record using a line-in Mic WITHOUT it being a Firewall or USB device?

How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?

How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?
Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one. It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.

HT3648 I have an iPod touch 3rd generation. I would like to test it with talk to text for my deaf mother. I have downloaded the dragon program but I need an external microphone. Can you help?

Hello,
I think my iPod touch is a 3rd generation. It is a 4.2.1 Version, 8 GB.
My 89 year old mother has totally lost her hearing. I would like to experiment with my ipod touch to see if an ipod is what she could use in her assisted living arrangement.
My ipod does not have an internal microphone as far as I can tell.
I see on the internet that I can purchase an external microphone.
I do not want a headset microphone just an external microphone where someone could speak into when the dragon app is on and it will transfer talk to text for her to read.
Can someone help me: a) do you think this will work.
b) what do I have to do to make it work.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
anetatsk

EXTERNAL microphone not working on T61, Colleagues with T61s having same problem

I am unable to get any external micophone to work with my T61. A colleague of mine spent hours with Lenovo support trying to get his to work but was never able to. The internal microphone works but the quality is low. I have tried several external microphones (3). I verified the external microphones work with other systems.
As for drivers, here is what I have tried so far:
SoundMAX driver uninstall
Installed Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for HD Audio
Installed SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio driver (5.10.1.5520)
None of this made any difference. When I plug in an external mic, all applications, including the SoundMAX Control Panel > Microphone > Setup Wizard, detect zero sound from the external microphone. I have muted/unmuted the external microphone, muted/unmuted the microphone in Windows, boosted/decreased the volume, used the Microsoft microphone troubleshooting wizard, etc., etc.
Please help! Using an external microphone is very important for my work (speech recognition) and for several of my colleagues. If we would have known external microphone do not work with T61s, my company would not have purchased these. Now we are all stuck until we get new laptops again (2 more years)!
P.S. One strange thing I noticed while plugging and unplugging is that if I plug in headphones to the external microphone jack, one of the headphones (R, I think) becomes an "external microphone." The quality is terrible but applications register sounds coming through the external headphones. Why then have none of the 3 different external microphones I've plugged into the mic jack worked?!?!
System:
SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio (Driver 5.10.1.5520, Location 65535, C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ADIHdAud.sys is 5.10.01.5520)
Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP2
Intel Core2 Duo CPU
T7300 @ 2.00GHz
2.99 GB of RAM

I am having this same problem and am also using voice recognition software. Have you found a resolution yet to this problem? I have not. Please share if you have.
Thanks!

Using an external microphone with a Mac Pro Tower

I have a Mac Pro tower with OS 10.4.11 and I have a question regarding recording sound through an external microphone.
I own a microphone with a 1/4" jack and when I plug it into the designated input on the back of my tower, I'm not getting any sound. I've troubleshooted with a couple different microphones and none seem to work. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some sort of configuration that I have to do when using a mic?
Please help!

I'm sorry, but that's not really my area of expertise. If you are planning to use this for simple voice-recording you could try the Griffin iMic device which helps provide both pre-amplification and impedance matching between a mini-plug mic and a USB port for sound input. I've used it recording music from a boom-box to a MacBook.
The tech specs state that the audio line-level in port is:
Input impedance greater than 20,000 ohms
Input level: Max 2 V rms (+8.2 dbµ)
I would look for a mic that meets those specifications. MacSpeech.com has several microphone/headset recommendations for use with their Dictate and iListen voice recognition software. I would think that their suggestions would be useful.

Using external microphones with zen ne

How do I plug in an external microphone into my zen neeon? I plan to use bi-naural microphones. Can I use a preamp and an adapter? Is this even possible with my model?
Thanks

Record video directly into imovie with external microphone?

Here's what I am trying to, and I am just wondering if it is possible.
I like recording video covers/songs to put up on youtube. i don't have a video camera that takes good video AND sound, and the video quality provided by recording in imovie through the isight is perfectly fine. however, i would like better sound quality than i get with the internal microphone.
i own an mx audio pro system which allows me to connect external microphones to my computer through usb for higher quality recording (i've used it for garageband).
my question is whether i can simultaneously use the isight and external microphone when recording in imovie, and how i would do that??
thanks!

Click System Preferences/Sound/Input and select your USB mic.
I know this works for voiceovers, but it should work for iSight as well.

ZEN NEEON with external microphone possib

Does anyone has Zen Neeon?
Neeon has 'direct line-in recording' as stated in the product page, does that mean it is possible to plug an external microphone (eg. Sony ECM-DS70P) to the line-in jack and bypass the built in microphone?
thanks.

I don't have a Neeon, and there aren't a lot of people here who have one so I'm not sure how quickly you'll get a response to this. On the previous MuVo N200 (which had its name illogically changed to the Zen Nano, if I recall correctly) the line-in wasn't well rated for quality, based on posts here. Being a Journalist you might want to try and get a product from Creative UK to test for yourselves.
On point 4 you are best to contact UK Customer Service (or as you are a Journalist, perhaps UK Sales) who will be able to tell you (or not) whether the player is coming. Often this kind of information is limited to a press release.
