Hi: I'm trying to record myself speaking, and the sound output from a Victor Reader Stream. I have a MBP 2010. I do have an Oak external mike that will go in the mike jack on my MBP. I do not want to hear VO because this needs to sound professional. Thanks for the assistance. On Mar 30, 2013, at 5:36 PM, Esther <[email protected]> wrote:
