you can either get a USB microphone, which would give you an additional
microphone input in the properties of audacity, and you can choose this as
the new microphone input for the software.
alternatively you can get an interface, which would allow you to connect xlr
or quarter inched jack microphones to it, giving you another form of input/s
to your computer.
however, you still have to go into the properties in audacity and set the
microphone to the name of your interface.
ctrl + p brings up the properties for you to choose your output, which is
where the music would be coming out, either headphones, speakers or if you
have any other outputs.
you can also change the inputs here, this includes your microphones, weather
it be the built in one on your computer or a USB microphone that has its own
sound card built on to it or the interface with your microphone/s connected
to it.
you can find interfaces on amazon as well as USB microphones
good luck
hope this helps.

Subject: [audacity4blind] External Microphone
Hi list,
Please be patient with me. I am not trained in this area.
I am new to Audacity and have it downloaded onto my laptop. My question is
this. How to I plug in external microphones? Do I need some kind of
interface box or something like that? If so how and where do I get one.
Thanks in advance.
Andre
