I'm impressed with the MBP's built-in mic

I'm use to the tin can effect of everything else i've owned. I took my computer to my friends bar (I can mootch off the near by coffee shops wifi here) the other night. A friend stopped bartended to play guitar for a few mins. Figured i'd test out the built in mic. I expected it to sound crappy but it came out quite nice.

Here's what I recorded.

It sounds almost studio quality. The bartender sounds pretty good. What program did you use to record?

I actually used iMovie, ripped the audio from the video, then converted it to .mp3 in iTunes

But I just downloaded an app that will save me the trouble of all that again lol..

That sounded pretty damn good. Good Guitar player too!

I listened to the whole thing.

I didn't that a laptop could record good sound like that.

Yeah I didn't either. Not with the internal mic anyway.. That's why I was so supprised.

I def want to get a good app for recording. I play guitar myself and it would be fun to mess around with.

Garageband really isn't all that bad at all. You can also try Audacity (a very basic but functional multi-track that's a little more spartan than Garageband) and Ardour (a free hardcore digital audio workstation).

Ahh.. Yeah.. well.. I don't know anything about garage band and this was spur of the moment... Maybe i'll just learn it since it's already on my computer.
