I wish to record a speech by talking to the microphone in my computer (iMac G4 lampstand). I've tried using the audio from iMovie but the format is not recognised by iTunes from which I hoped to burn to an audio CD. This might seem like horse and cart stuff to those who rip and cut and perform all sorts of magic on dvd let alone audio. I don't wish to record on a tape and then hook up to my amplifier that is connected to my tape player.
Is there some software I should obtain that will do the trick?
Thank you for suggestions.

Hi Merv

"Audio In" (or similar freeware) to record, then drop the file into iTunes, afterwards you could convert it to mp3 and keep it if necessary. The recording level is set in Sound prefs if required. Keep the meter/monitor full without "maxing out" (clipping) or err a little lower to be safe. Do a few tests to get the levels right in the recording, you can use existing music or speeches to compare sound levels.

Good luck
