Using a headset to record a screencast through Screenflow.
I was frustrated with the fan noise showing up in the screencast recordings that I did with my Macbook Pro, so I decided to purchase a headset with a microphone. Connected through the USB port the microphone works great and does not pick up the noise from the fan. In the first part I created a recording with the internal microphone. It contained lots of noise from the fan. In the second part I used the Beyerdynamic MMX 2 headset which includes a microphone. When the headset is connected through the USB port it will not pick up any noise from the fan. Adjustments: System Preference – Sound – changed to Unknown USB Audio Device and checked the input level. — An easier way to do this is by holding down the alt/option key and left clicking the volume button on the top right menu area on your desktop. Opened the Screenflow – Configure Recording (under the screenflow icon on the top right area of the menu bar) Changed the Record Audio From: Unknown USB Audio Device
Thank you very much! This really, REALLY helped me!
Great!…:)

“In the second part I used the Beyerdynamic MMX 2 headset which includes a microphone. When the headset is connected through the USB port it will not pick up any noise from the fan.” (From the above text..:)
