Best Answer

You will need to use your own digital voice recorder and then import the audio into the computer to put into iMovie.

If you have a USB microphone you can plug that in to use. If the microphone has a jack plug you will need an adapter to connect the mic to a USB socket.

The built in mic is not too bad it can be adjusted in the Input section of Sound in System Preferences.

How long can iMovie record for?

If you mean like video or audio directly from the isight or the mic in the mac using no video cameras to import, it can record until the start up disk is full. This means that what ever space iMovie can find, it will use. This means taking up space on your computer. If you look at the lower right hand corner of imovie, you will see a number, which is the amount of space available on your computer.

How do you record on mac os x?

If by 'record', you mean a screen recording, there is a function within Quicktime(Mac OS X Lion) that allows you to make a screen recoding, as well as specify the saving destination and sound settings. If you mean sound recording, one may use the pre-installed Garageband, or download free software such as Audacity. If you wish to make a sound recording then you must have a microphone, if not a built-in one then an external microphone. For recording voices, a diaphragm condenser mic would be best as an external mic, though may require an additional power source. If you wish to make a video recording, that is not a screen recording, you may use the application Photo Booth (if supplied with your version of OS X), or iMovie to record from a built-in camera. For an external camera, a recording may be made via the Mac through iMovie if the camera is supported.

How do you get a desktop mic to work on a single port computer?

So i recently got a new mic and i want to record but my computer only has one audio in and out port (It takes microphone and Headphones in the same port) but the mic was not built for this (it has two black rings if that helps). I have tried everything that i could think of. The problem is that my computer pics it up as a headphone and not a mic and so it will not record sound through the mic but it will stop sound from coming out of the computer speakers like headphones would. Please help! (yes i know this is an answer but i wanted to put a description so just edit this with the right answer)
