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?

For a start go to “System Preferences” then select Sound then select Input.
Then select the Singstar device and check it’s input volume levels to see that it’s working.

I’ve tested the singstar with a G3 ibook running panther and an off the rack generic type 600 ohm microphone and everythings ok.
If your having problems it’s with the input sockets.
You have to get an 1/8″ adapter or extension lead that fits all the way into the slot.
If you don’t it won’t work.

Here’s the gem with Singstar. Yes, there is some latency with Garage Band if you change interfaces after opening Garage Band. However, if you set Singstar as your default input, setup a project in Garage Band to work with it, then save, close and reopen it, the latency vanishes.

Now, it gets even better. Singstar adapters have a unique serial number for each unit. This means they EASILY aggregate. I’ve just used two with an iMic in a trial, leading up to recording my band at live gigs with my iBook, aggregated in Audio/Midi Setup. It works! If you use Audacity 1.3.2, it now recognises aggregate devices and has next to no latency. As far as I can tell, I should be able to run as many as 7 (14 tracks) via a fast hub and have no appreciable latency in Audacity!

Don’t bother trying 8 tracks in Garage Band on anything less than a Core 2 Duo, but with Audacity, you can record stacks of tracks, then export to AIFF for import to GB.
