Mac Forum / General / Hardware / April 2008quick imic/imovie question...
Hi, I've looked and looked for an answer on this... Directly from the apple store I bought an imic (first generation white one) and shure microphone. The input levels through the system (sound control panel and imovie) are feeble, stronger than line-in, but still feeble. (the levels are maxed). But if I use the stupid software that comes with imic (final vinyl) I get a strong signal. I bought it to narrate imovies within imovie. Does anyone know why this isn't working? 10.4 G5 imac, imovie HD 5 Thanks!!!

Yes, but something is working, because the "final vinyl" software gets a very clear signal. I'd say the OSX system gets about 1/3 the volume. About halfway between using the mic directly in the line-in in the back of the imac and the "final vinyl" volumes. I hope that isn't confusing. I'm sort of upset that apple sells a kit like that and it doesn't work with the ilife suite. I can't see anyone being able to use that mic unless they shout into it. Any ideas? Could it be something particular with 10.4?

If the volume is still too low, contact Griffin and tell them which model microphone you are using. You could try a USB microphone, <Logitech USB Desktop Microphone> <Blue Microphones Snowball Microphone> Wow, another slider... it was nearly maxed already, and there wasn't a 24-bit setting, only 16-bit and lower. I have two decent microphones here and both are behaving the same. Thanks for the info, I'm still bummed. I contacted Griffen. Thanks!!!
