Built in Microphone......

Post by Datplaygurlbunny » Thu Sep 04, 2008 12:09 am

So I've search this site up and down and didnt exactly find what I was lookin for. But I have a laptop, an HP Pavillion DV6000, and I noticed that everytime I recorded a song, it sounded like the microphone was on the other side of the room...it even picked up the TV and other background noise (It puzzled me because I use to record on my desktop) then I realized the mic was at the top of the laptop(Duh :oops: )....so how can I fix that? I just wanna make simple ringtones for my phone, thats all I want to do!!! Is there someway to have it record a different way? Or am I just out of luck?.....

<<<so how can I fix that?>>>

You want to record from the high-quality microphone plugged into the side of your laptop instead of the cheap built-in one even though you didn't say you had a second microphone?
