it’s july 2009. paid $6 for the singstar mics and usb converter box at thrift store. dogs chewed cable off right at end to red mic, but i spliced it, plugged into OSX imac, didn’t show up on screen, but found your comment. Went to imovie, and was able to actually record from both mics…!!! i’m so thrilled. I like to input from lots of sources, so with these long cables can put one mic one place 10 (?) feet away. Let the dogs howl now!!

I’ve never given this a try, but I think it’s about time I do.

We bought Singstar set, used it for a while. Now the converter plugs in – blue light starts to flash BUT the message on screen: (SingStar USB converter not detected. Please connect converter to one of the connectors on front of the console.) Is there something wrong or must I restart? Please help!

Interestingly, the Singstar microphones work on the Line-In on my original Macbook.

i don’t know how useful this information is on a mac blog, but plugging this into my windows xp computer puts each mic on a different stereo channel. i’ve used them for recording (spoken word) and they’re serviceable; not grand, but the audio’s clean-uppable in audition.

i plugged my singstar mics into my laptop(not mac) using the converter and it picks up the blue mic and not the red. I tried the red one in the mic jack and it doesn’t pick it p either. The red mic works when I play singstar on PS2 though…please help

WE were playing PS2 singstar and the red microphone just stopped picking up sound. we switched the red mic with the blue mic, and then the blue mic wouldn’t work,either. we tried everything- from blowing on it, to restarting it. I think the little red hole thing that you plug the mic into is messed up … but nothing helped. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Now I bought 2 SnowBall USB microphones. So good their output can be made into a CD of your band at the end of the session. BUT they are each USB. Plugged into my MacBook Pro Duo, only one or the other is recognized. There is no stero by plugging both in. Why Not ?

I have a digital camcorder that has no external mike jack. There is however a USB port. Would it be possible to add an external mike port using the USB Microphone Convertor?

I bought one of these units v. cheap (£3) from Cash Convertors today, just wondering if it would work, after seeing the USB box. At first I thought it was broken as I could get no input, but after reading this page, switching USB ports on my G5 iMac and working through some of the above tips has got it working. I’m off to record now, thanks for the tips!

Say, if you bought two, or three, or four of these singstar adapters, would you be able to do multi-track recording? Like, if you plug in two Singstar adapters, would the Mac recognize four audio inputs?

I am looking at hardwiring a replacement microphone for my ps2 The hardwire will go into the singstar usb adapter which i purchased off ebay it had no mics but i had a couple of old mics lying around that the jack wont fit the sockett I thought a hard wire internal solder to the singstar adapter may do the trick?. Has anyone succeded in this process or are the mics supplied with the ps2 rigged?
