I have a new lab of 2.3Ghz i5 Mac Minis. I'm running Garageband '11 (version 6.0.5) and since the Minis don't have a microphone, I'm exploring some possibilities that don't involve spending $20 per machine (I have 20) for a Logitech USB mic.
I have a box of
Labtec AM-242 mics.
I found this:
Comodow HY552 USB Composite device This works for about 30 seconds, then I get some latent noise, which then will clear up, but when I record at that point, there is a one-second delay/echo.
I have experimented with Using both the system output or the output on the device and the results are the same. (I thought perhaps there was a feedback loop somewhere)
The device apparently has some software on it; effects, 5.1 drivers, etc., and I'm thinking that perhaps there is a default setting causing the delay/echo, but I'm not sure how to access them on the Mini.
Any ideas? What else might you need to know to help me troubleshoot this?
Thanks!
