Using a sound input that is built into a computer isn't the best solution: An external sound card will normally produce better results but whether you use a built in sound card or an external one, there are two or three ways to connect a microphone.

A dynamic mic can connect directly to the 3.5mm microphone input jack. Most of the lower cost mics are dynamic although there are many studio mics available.

A condenser mic can be used but they normally need a voltage on the input connector to power them. Condenser mics are normally the preferred choice for recording and they can be used if a "phantom power supply" is connected between the mic and the input.

With any microphone, an adaptor may be needed from either a 1/4" jack or an XLR connector to the 3.5mm socket. Many electronics stores will have the right adaptors.

An alternative is to use an external mixer. One or more microphones can be connected to it and the output will be at a higher level than a single microphone and is likely to offer a better quality sound capture than using a microphone level into the sound card.

In imovie the built in mic sucks how can you record with your own mic?

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.

you would need to buy one seperatly. then on the back of the computer (were all the cords lead to) there should be a set of plugins that are about the size of a toothpick. get the cord of the mic and plug the end into the one with a picture of a mic by it. you should then be able to use it.
