OK, this is kind of odd. Has anyone noticed, that unless you plug an actual
microphone into the mike jack of the logicboard on your Mac, you cannot!
record both system audio as well as the mike? My quick silver doesn't have
a mike jack. Trust me, I had someone sighted look. It doesn't. bottom
line. So, I'm having to use a USB mike, which I have ran through the USB
port of my keyboard since on the tower, both my USB ports are used up. That
doesn't seem to pose a problem though. I made sure that in system prefs the
default input was my logitech u s b headset, and it was. I also made sure
it was turned up, and it was. When I hijack it I am able to hear myself
through the headset absolutely flawlessly so I know that the mike got
hijacked correctly.
I just can't get it to record both system audio and the default input at the
same time. I tried creating a brand new session and instead of setting it
up as default input, I literally set it for the u s b headset. I could then
high jack it and record my mike just fine, or I could hi jack my system
audio and record it just fine, but I couldn't get them both. I did! try
plugging the u s b headset straight into the tower's u s b port with no
luck. I also did make sure I highjacked system audio, then the mike, then
went back to system audio to record. I had this exact same issue with my
other power Mac G4 running Tiger. The only difference was, with the older
Mac, I fixed the problem, as that system has an onboard 8th inch mike jack.
No pre-amp in it, but that's ok, the mike I used had one. So, with that
system it worked perfectly, but any u s b mike/head set, forget it. Again,
I can get one or the other, but not both. I found this incredibly bazaar,
and wondered if anyone has seen this, and if so, do you know another app
that'll let me record speech and also my mike at the same time? I really
wanna make some demonstrations for a few people, but I kind a like, can't?
if I can't get this resolved. That's the main reason I bought hijack too,
so wow. What a waiste a $60 if I now can't use it for that. O sure, for
other recording things like Skype, etc. it works wonderfully, but again,
that wasn't the soul purpose why I got the thing.
This is really strange, and frankly, I'd really love knowing if any yall can
reproduce this problem, and if so, if you find a work around without using
the onboard mike jack on the logic board, or the onboard mike on the laptop
or whatever, I'd be real interested with u s b interface how in the bloody
heck you got both to work.
