[twoteaspoon]

Hi, I recently bought a Macbook for recording purpose and am pretty surprised to find out that there is no mic-in port, unlike the one i have on my creative soundblaster live on my PC.

i learnt thati need to get a usb audio adapter. has anyone any recommendations? i need it to record vocals and it needs to offer clear and clean recording.

any help is greatly appreciated!

twoteaspoon, have you already gotten a microphone? do you have a budget? if you need to record just vocals, you can go for those interface that has 1 or 2 inputs.

are you sure? there may not be a Mic In port, but there are combo Optical/Line input/output ports. mic ports for computers sucks anyway, its mainly for those pc microphones used for gaming and skype etc. not ideal for recording at all! there is an built-in mic on the MacBook too if you want to chat to your friends online.
