Hi Courtney, To change your input from your internal mic to line-in, you might try downloading the free LineIn application from the freebies section of Rogue Amoeba's web site:
http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/ This lets you select your Input and Output, and also lets you VO-Space on the "Pass Thru" (unchecked check box) to monitor a recording (e.g., if you select Input from Built-in Line In and Output to Default System Output). This has nothing to do with Option click or menu extras on the Menu bar, so I've changed the subject line. I use Line In with the "Pass Thru" if I want to connect to an iPod or iPhone and monitor or record what's happening. This can also be used to record what's going on with an iPod or iPhone connected into the line in for a podcast. (You can find this in the Mail Archives for this list in connection with discussions on how to demo the iPod Nano and other iPods for a podcast). HTH.
