I don't recall reading the beginning of this thread but in general Mac's don't have pre-amplifiers built in so a plain old mic will need to go through an external preamp before connecting to the Mac's line in. This could either be a dedicated box or the output from a mixer. USB mics, while limiting your choices also simplify things as they don't need the pre-amp. Line level inputs like CD-players or tape decks can just be plugged into the mac directly.
