The SpotDJ Blog

The Mac version of SpotDJ will use whichever microphone you select through the Sound System Preferences Panel. To change your microphone settings, select “System Preferences” from the Apple menu on the top-left of your screen. Select the “Sound” item (it’s listed under hardware) to select your input device.

Under the “Input” tab, make sure that the correct device is selected. If you’re using a laptop, you’ll probably use “Internal microphone”. If you’re using a desktop Mac, you may have a USB microphone, or one of the sound input ports on your computer.

In the screenshot below, the internal microphone has been selected. Notice that the Input Volume has been set in the middle — a good starting point and the first setting to tweak if your spots are too loud or two soft.

Note: Some newer macs, like the Mac Mini, have an audio input port that looks like a microphone port but won’t work with a standard microphone. You’re better off with a USB Microphone. If you’re unsure whether or not your mic is working properly, watch the Input level on the Sound System Preferences Panel as you speak into it.
