Audioblogging!
I've got the recording software, the FTP space, and the motivation. The major snag seems to be that the microphone I bought is not a simple plug-and-play. It's a 5-dollar cheapie, this mike, and it was only in looking at the back of the package yesterday evening that I saw horrible, filthy words like "sound card" and "driver" and "maggots." I have a MACINTOSH, for Cthulu's sake! Macintoshes aren't compatible with maggots! We all know this!
So it looks as though I'll be shopping a bit more carefully for a Mac-compatible, plug-and-play mike, perhaps even biting the bullet and visiting one of the local Mac stores so carefully hidden away in Yongsan's Jeonja Land. When I finally get the mike I deserve...
...expect madness.
I might carry this mike over to the office and see whether it works with my Korean PC. Korean peripherals, like Koreans themselves, often have a great deal of self-compatibility. If the mike works, I might just hang out there, after hours, and record some bizarre shit.

Dude! Unless you have something really strnge going on, your Mac has a microphone jack on it somewhere. It is only a matter of having a compatible style plug for it. If you were here in the states, I'd suggest Radio Snack. In any case, no major expenses should be involved.

ReplyDeleteYou motivated me to rush out an audiopost. Sure didn't want to be thought of as a copier of the great big hominid.
ReplyDeleteThe audio shows the haste it was made in. Future ones will be better but the Metropolitician needn't look over his shoulder for a while.
