You. Are. Awesome. Saved my neck literally two minutes before I was supposed to interview someone and I needed an external USB microphone to work. Thank you sir.

I searched and searched for days and this was the absolute most simple, to the point and helped tremendously. Thank you!

That was very helpful! I’m trying to find a microphone to record vocals for garage band on my mac pro, so I’m doing some research :)

@hybridresistance 3 года назад

Do the USB adaptors affect quality? I got a highly rated although relatively cheap mic Tonor Mic and I was surprised how bad it sounded compared to my built in 2019 MacBook mic. Any suggestions? I thought maybe it was the adaptor the compromised it, but I wasn't sure if this is even a thing. Thank you

Hi Gary, I'v learned a ton for your video's over the last year or even more! Thanks so much and keep it up! I will say your audio is clear and sound good, let me suggest that your room is 'boomy', and your very sensitive mic picks up the reverberations from your room. You're perfectly clear though Gary. Thanks again!

I have attached my Comics microphone into my MacBook Air and it will show audio in but I can't get it to show up on the input by name, only as an external mike. I also can't get it to work directly with DaVinci Resolve 16. DaVince does not recognize it from the input list. It only shows 2 built-in microphones which when patched in also do not work. What am I doing wrong?

@usa_kenyan 2 года назад

Thank you, Gary, for an informative video. I just want to clarify something. I have a Logitech analog mic. It has the common jack with no pins (the jack is the same size and type as the one that goes into my iPhone or MacBook earphone port. I tested it on both devices, to be sure). I want to use it with my 2014 Mac Mini. Some of the USB adapters I'm seeing have 2 holes. Should I avoid those and only look at the ones with one hole?

Is it possible to use Facetime with an External Mic through an audio interface? I have an M1 mac mini and I cannot figure I out.

@chrisclements3862 3 года назад

thanks so much. I purchased XLR mics, I can't get them to work with my Yamaha mg10xu, going to my iMac. so now I have USB adapter for the XLR, and now this doesn't seem to work either. Any advice? thanks.

@basilbcf 3 года назад

I've been using a Yeti Blue USB mic for a few years now and have been quite happy with it. Besides using it for FaceTime and Zoom, I also do video tutorials with Screenflow and the sound quality is quite good. Not saying it's the best option, but for the money it's pretty decent and flexible.

@hamzaalshihabi5738 2 года назад

I have that exact one but mine wouldn’t work it would say no sound detected make sure your microphone is connected. Do u know how to fix it?

@larsandersen9134 3 года назад

Thank you for a good tutorial. You are really easy to understand. I like the warm and bass'y voices on the American radio shows. How do I make my mic that while i am video chatting with friends? I have Focusrite 2i2 3rd gen. and CM25 MKIII

@macmost 3 года назад

Probably a better question for an audio expert. But I would say first get your mic closer to your mouth. Look at the video of when they do radio -- the mic is right there.

@TonyPadgett 4 года назад

What do you think about a lapel mic for video calls and use an AirPod to receiving the audio?

@macmost 4 года назад

If the quality works for you, then sure. But you can also just use AirPods for both.

I was hoping something on a small mic that you could attach to a shirt would be covered. Those are good if you are moving around form time to and need to keep your voice always level but don't want to be seen in your video with a USB headphone/mic combination device. Lots of good info. Thank you!

@macmost 4 года назад

They are just microphones like any other. You can get some USB lapel mics too and they connect the same way.

@krugergoalie53 2 года назад

Thank you for your excellent video. I recently purchased a Maono usb mic For use with my iMac. The sound quality is good but there is a hum that is very noticeable on garage band recording during quiet parts. I cannot get rid of it no matter how far I move the mic from the computer and I have tried using a powered USB hub. Any suggestions?

@macmost 2 года назад

I'd contact the manufacturer about it.

@alyoria4692 4 года назад

can i have a headset plugged into the headphone jack while the mic is plugged into the usb jack?

@macmost 4 года назад

Sure.

@GRSAFseventhousand 3 года назад

@ryanzmuda3167 4 года назад

Which ones do you recommend fior zoom groups and the main zoom speaker

@macmost 4 года назад

Get a headset if you don't mind it appearing on camera. That's the best audio quality. I don't have a particular brand or model to recommend (the one I use isn't made anymore).

@suitcafe 3 года назад

If a mic comes with usb a- usb c as you mentioned and the Mac has all usb-c, does any usb c to usb c cable work with the mic or does it need to be a special data type cable vs a charge type cable? Thanks for the to the point video.

@macmost 3 года назад

A USB-C cable is a USB-C cable. There is no "special data type" version of a USB-C cable.

Very useful Gary ! Does a usb mic like FIFINE K683A (who has integrated amplifier) works via usb on a mac mini 2012 ? I have a lavalier boya mic with usb sound adapter but it not works on my mac.

I have no idea. You'd have to ask the maker of that mic.

What USB C microphones is there i can't find any

@macmost 3 года назад

USB is USB as far as the data is concerned. Most good microphones come with USB-B (a square-ish port) and a cable for USB-B to USB-A (old standard rectangular cable end). You just pick up a USB-B to USB-C cable instead if it doesn't now come with one ($7 at Amazon). Or, if the cable is hard-wired in to the microphone, it may have a USB-A end, but you can get an even cheaper USB-A to USB-C adapter to fit over the end of the cable.

@theshiftmastersessions Год назад

Hi Gary, can you tell where I can find a base to pure the SHURE mic in, that is not the tripod stand? Thx

@macmost Год назад

Just search on the maker's site, or a site like Amazon. Lots of options available. Another option is to visit a music store to see some mic stands in person.

What external microphone would you recommend for a MacBook Air?

Depends on your needs and budget. Look on Amazon at their USB mics, read about them, and find the one that will serve you best.

Hello ! I'm having a problem that when I'm sharing screen on skype I also need to broadcast the audio from itunes because I give online classes, I've looked everywhere and the audio only broadcasts when I unplug the usb microphone, I appreciate the help in advance !

You'll probably need to get some audio software to be able to mix things like that. Not sure what Skype expects so I can't be of much help.

What about mics that use phantom power??

@macmost 11 месяцев назад

They would need to be plugged into something that provided the power and converted the audio to digital too. So an audio interface or board.

@Yoffezz 2 года назад

does using a usb adapter help with heating and fan noises ?

@macmost 2 года назад

Shouldn't make a difference either way. But having a microphone that is not part of the body of the computer, and closer to your mouth, should help with noise during the recording. If it is an omnidirectional mic, though, it will pick up room noises as well as your voice.

@Yoffezz 2 года назад
