JesusisLORD Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I have a Sony E-V100 Microphone that I want to be able to record with. It has an attachment for larger plugs and then also one the size of a standard headphone jack. Is there any way for me to plug it into my Mac Pro, or do I need to go through my keyboard?

robinloops Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 You probably need a preamp or an audio interface to get decent results, but you can try plugging it into the microphone input on your mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 JIL, please rename your topic to something less ambiguous, OK? Second, [sarcasm=on] could you possibly use a cheaper microphone? [/sarcasm] (BTW, I think that's F-V100. Might want to check....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I or do I need to go through my keyboard? Yes, although not in the way you're thinking. Cut the cable right at the base of the mic. You won't be needing it. Open Quicktime for a new video recording. Point the Mac's built-in camera and mic at your keyboard. Hit record. Find a 10d (ten-penny) nail and grasp it firmly between your thumb and index finger. Place the point of the nail at different strategic places on your keyboard while vigorously bashing the head of the nail with the F-V100 microphone. When satisfied that you have enough sounds, and when you feel that you've finally released all that passive festering aggression that's been bottling up ever since your parents refused to get you that BB gun for Christmas when you were 9, and Alice Sudburry broke up with you when you were 15 and never told you why, then hit stop in Quicktime. Save the new movie file as "How to get a Good Sound from the Sony F-V100 Microphone.mov" and upload to YouTube. Post the link in this thread.

ski Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 fader8, that's sterling advice! Can't wait to see the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesusisLORD Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 HAHAHAHAHA. Wow. Too good. So it's a cheep mike. Oh well, it's what I have for now. But that's my big question, Robinloops. WHERE IS THE MIC INPUT? And he who proved me is correct about it being a F-V100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The input is in the back of your Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesusisLORD Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 OK, is it next to the speakers? The one with the arrows pointing into the circle? (Ex-Windowser here, not used to that as a mic symbol.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 JIL, OK, all kidding aside... This is ridiculous... Don't you have a manual for your computer? Why are you taking up bandwidth here for people to spoonfeed you information? Are you just too lazy to crack the manual on your own, or do a google search? Jesus H!

JesusisLORD Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Justly reproved, justly reproved. The manual answered my question, my apologies for a cheesy question. Now to try it out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
