What can I do to enhance MacBook Pro internal mic sound quality in iMovie?
- by gaearon
After using MacBook for two years, I bought 17'' MacBook Pro.
I'm pretty happy with it, performance and all, but I also was going to record some music videos for YouTube. I play guitar and sing.
However I was extremely disappointed with the sound quality that comes by default. I'm 100% sure my 13'' MacBook mic was much better at recording music and singing.
Currently mic can't event handle acoustic guitar, outputting sound you'd think was recorded 5 years ago in ARM format on a Nokia phone on a loud concert. It totally feels like some lame filter is cutting low and high frequencies.
I want to know what settings (visible or hidden) in iMovie or Mac OS itself I might want to tweak in order to get my MBP mic record clean sound.
