2 mics on macbook

theparttimetheparttime Registered User regular
Hi. I'm really new to this so bear with me. I'm helping my friend to setup to record on a macbook. I have 2 of these NADY SP-4C Dynamic Microphones. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009W40D/ref=ox_ya_oh_product) and i want to hook them up to my macbook. I got an iMic http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-iMic-USB-Audio-Interface/dp/B000BVV2IC/ref=pd_cp_MI_0 but unfortunately i found out that it only takes in 1 mic and 2 iMics connected will not work with 2 mics connected simultaeneously.

I'm up for any solutions. Things that I can buy at a store locally (radioshack, best buy, frye's, music store) would be the best because I don't want to wait around for shipping again. I heard that I need a mixer maybe? The macbook also has bootcamp so if a Windows only solutions exists, thats ok. any help would be appreciated!

    The iMic supports stereo mic in and those are simple mono mics. A cable like this is what you need:

    That will split the stereo 3.5mm jack into two mono 3.5mm jacks, one for the left and one for the right. Then simply tell the recording software that each of you are on a mono channel of the same device.
