Tips & Warnings
- Using the internal mic may not produce pristine recordings, however increasing the volume of your speakers and placing them towards your computer may help. Also if you have an old microphone laying around, using that in place of the internal will markedly improve sound quality. For ultimate sound quality pick up a copy of WireTap Pro in place of any kind of microphone (it records directly from the Mac’s internal audio chip) and then follow the steps above.
