Has anyone tried on of these iMics? Maybe I am using bad microphones (two different ones) but I can't get a decent recording. My PowerBook's built in mic give me a stronger signal than the iMic.
I'd love to hear other's experiences with the iMic.
I've had crappy experiences with my iMic lately. Well, I haven't really used it since I got my 828mk2, but it had always been hit-and-miss. I think there's something wrong with USB audio drivers under 10.2 and later. One thing I *was* using it for lately was recording messages off my voicemail, using a $20 adapter from radioshack. I returned the adapter once and was about to do it again when it seemingly didn't work (loud ground hum noise when I had it connected). I discovered that this hum went away when I recorded to my iBook running on battery. When connected to my G4, or to the iBook plugged into the wall, behaviour was spectacularly awful. Clearly some kind of electrical issue that the iMic did not isolate. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
