Problem with tape/vinyl audioconversion

I have a new Mac.

I use EZ audio converter to transfer tapes and vinyl to iTunes. When I try to use it on the Mac the input is via the Mac microphone (background noise, me coughing etc.) rather than via the USB connection. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

The only thing I can think of that may help you is Audacity.
The Free, Cross-Platform Sound Editor

Audacity® is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Hope this helps.

Open System Preferences
Click on 'Sound'
Click on the 'Input' tab
Set the input volume to zero using the slider
Close System Preferences.

Give it a shot after the microphone volume has ben disabled to zero. Also set your default audio device to whatever recorder you are using.

Are you sing snow leopard?

I'd sys it just not selected as the input device in Sound.

Option click on the volume icon in the menu bar. You should see a list of option in which you should be able to set the default audio device. That is if you are using snow leopard.

If that does not work out. Try using SoundSource http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/

I realise it's been 2 weeks since the OP started this thread, but FWIW, there are instructions here that should help you out:

Yes I stopped at 3 weeks. A small amount of late help might be better than none;-)
