[MacDV] Voice over Mic Suggestions. iMic?

[Jeff Carruthers]

I have used am Audio-Technica microphone (ATM41HE), a small Eurorack 
UB802 mixer with two microphone ins and a headphone output (for 
monitoring). plus Peak 4 software, with good results.

The main output from the mixer goes to a minijack that's connected 
directly to the line input of my 12" Aluminum Powerbook. I set the main 
levels using the sound in under the System Preferences and then 
fine-tune from the mixer within the software,

I can then edit the soundtrack in Peak on the computer, playing the 
output back through the mixer, and then save as an AIFF or an MP3, 
depending on the need.

We carry around the mixer, the mike and cables in an old computer bag I 
had used for a Duo mac portable.

I've used iMic and another USB sound-in device, but find it a lot more 
direct to use the line-in.
