Audio Help!
I appeal to my fellow musicians who know more about recording audio then me. Here's the skinny: 1 XLR microphone needs to plug into the 1/8" input on my mac.
Now here's the FAT: The microphone is low-impedance. The input is high-impedance. Got it all to connect through a series of adapters but the volume is incredibly low. Plus, it looks like crap sticking out the side of the laptop. Don't want to spend more the $40 on a solution, and I've already tried a "Lightsnake." Crappy crappy.
I'm trying to keep it simple because it's just to record interviews out "in the field" and simple acoustic songs. Any suggestions? 1 comments from 1 users

What kind of mic and what are you going to use it for? Would a lav mic work ok? Those tend to be a little more sensitivity. But I'd say you need and impedence match, obviously right? Find a high impedance mic and you've solved your problem. What you are doing right now is checking down your audio due to that config. Hmmm or one of these ;) ,.. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Mod...
