How To Hook Up a Mixer to Your Mac [Video]
Dec 18th
Here is a quick video I did of how to hook up a Behringer Xenyx 802 Mixer
to your Mac. It’s really simple actually. All you need is two 1/4 to 1/8 inch chords, a mic, a mixer, and a Mac. Watch the video tutorial above and let me know if you have any questions. I am working on the screencast version of this to show you how to set up your GarageBand Preferences.

Episode 011 of That Mac Show brings you this weeks Apple news. We cover a lot of the top stories and give you some commentary to go along with it. This week we are experimenting with an Enhanced AAC podcast since it’s a Mac show and most of you will have iPods or iPhones to consume it on. Also this show is quick and dirty since I didn’t have a very big window of free time today to produce it.

USB Webcam Drivers For the Mac
Dec 14th
Like most of you out there I have an old webcam or two laying around. The problem is that most of these webcams either dont have Mac drivers or you lost them a long time ago. Luckily there are some open source programmers coming to your rescue! The application you are looking for is called Macam. Macam bascially allows you to use one of the hundreds of USB webcams that are out there in the wild. I have had very good luck with the app and it has worked with an old Microsoft webcam that I have, and actually I think it might work better do to the wide amount of settings. Once you get your webcam dialed in, it`s good to go. Macam has saved my life on many occasions since the webcam in my MacBook is messed up. Now I just plug in my old USB webcam and I can now use Skype, Justin.tv, CamTwist, etc.
Here is a link to their supported webcams.

Behringer XENYX 802
Dec 5th

Behringer XENYX 802
The other day I finally picked up a mixer. I decided to go the cheaper route and get a Behringer XENYX 802. So far I have only had a chance to hook it up to my MacBook and play around with it in GarageBand. I was able to get system sounds and mic sound into GarageBand, which is one of the main reasons I wanted to go the mixer route. My M-Audio Fast Track Pro has done well up to now but I needed more inputs and control, so it will be relegated.
