so right off the bat, i admit that i am not particularly adept with either computers or music. still, i endeavor to record on my g4, so laugh if you will, but please help if you can.
i am going the cheap route, because i am cheap (duh). i have downloaded audacity, which seems to be all i need anyway. i also have an old mac mic for an input. that's my setup. it's not like i'm writing operas here. the problem is i can't seem to record. as in, i get no sound. the preferences panel for audacity does not give me the option of selecting the mic; it's set for the default "built in audio controller" - - what that means, i don't know, as the documentation for audacity is not particularly helpful. i just want to be able to record some simple melodies and some chords on top. how do i get the sound from my instrument into the g4? can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong? |

Go to your system preferences and select sound. Then go to inputs and see if the microphone is chosen.
I hope I was able to help. |

"line in" is my only choice in system preferences. and the audio line in port on the back of the g4 is what i have the mic plugged into.
so it would seem that everything is okay there, right? |

Yeah... it seems to be alright.
You could try to disconnect the mic and use the built-in mic. (there's one built-in right?) |

there does not appear to be any such thing on my g4.
