The lock on a Macbook pro microphone gain?

Hey all, I have a question that makes me mad and after a few long google search, I am still unable to find a solution. I use a mic boom (Yeti) and I need to put my low gain otherwise picks it up too much in my background. I use Slack and Join.me for work and it seems that many of these programs will hijack my sound settings, increase in my gain. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to no longer soft or Join.me because they do not have a way to disable the auto gain control *. I wish there really was a way to lock the gain system-level. Does anyone know of a solution, before you buy a DAC? I would consider even a paid app.

* Although, even on the applications I want to disable automatic gain, my gain still seems to decrease or increase alone.

Thanks for your help!

I wasn't familiar with your microphone. but the research it upward. It would seem that it has built in gain control as well as for directional and omnidirectional. It is in the Mac operating system, in your Utilities folder an application called Setup Audio and Midi. You might look into Garage Band and upward on the app store. It's only $4.99.

  • ICloud emails disappear at the time of my Macbook Pro when I delete a message from iCloud of one of them?

    I'm an old Geezer Mac, but a Newbie iCloud. I just put on my two Macbook Pro iCloud email addresses and access e-mail through Apple Mail on both computers. Here are my two questions:

    (1) iCloud emails disappear at the time of my Macbook Pro when I delete a message from iCloud of one of them?

    (2) if I move an e-mail message to iCloud Inbox Mail at Mail Archive on a Macbook, can I delete the message from the second Macbook without losing the archived message?

    Yes, that is what is supposed to happen with an IMAP e-mail account.

    If you move it to a folder on the Mac, not in the iCloud account, you can remove safely icloud.

  • Is it safe cover the keyboard on my MacBook Pro 15 2014 to?

    I love the Apple Magic keyboard, just feels better to type on for me.  I would like to use it with my MacBook Pro, which is 15 inches from mid-2014.  The magic keyboard perfectly well enough over the Mbps built at the keyboard, and I would use it like that.  However I noticed the bottom of the magic keyboard gets very hot after only a few minutes, so I figure that it can block the flow of cooling air.

    Is it safe cover the keyboard on my MacBook Pro with the magic keyboard or will lead it to damaged by heat?

    Thank you

    Not with another keyboard. You must use magic outside the computer keyboard. What you do may damage the built-in keyboard.

    The Snow Leopard is one of the more stable OS Ive ever used, but you won't have a lot of features.  Mavericks is in the Middle, has more features and is always quite stable. I would, however, try to reinstall El Capitan, or deleting some files to free up space.

  • How to optimize the battery in my MacBook Pro?

    Hey,.

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro 2015 13 inches and I love it so far! Mainly, I bought it for use at the University since I am a student in Architecture and I was told that the MacBook Pro are great for this.

    Anyway, as I always take careful care of my business, I want to know how to maximize the battery in my MacBook Pro? Is it true that whenever I have my MacBook Pro connected to the charger and it reaches the max (100%), the charger stops charging? Also, should I turn off or put to sleep when I'm not using it?

    I have read online some tips, but I want to just make sure that all of its clear. I have a lot of questions to be honest, but if someone can give a brief explanation I would really appreciate it!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Josetroti:

    When you leave your MacBook Pro is plugged, it stops to load automatically when it reaches 100%. There's no need to unplug it.

    I turn on my Macbook Pro in the morning and left running unless I'm going out for a few hours in this case, I if it turned off.

    In the night I turned off it. I don't use mode 'sleep', as with the SSD climbing boots Macbook very quickly. But that's just my preference.

    I heard that if you leave your computer connected permanently, a once a month, you must let sink to about 30% and then recharge.

    It is not good to let it drop below 10%.

    Here are some tips on using the battery. Batteries for laptops on Mac - Apple Support

    No new upgrade is available for the system.

    My Question: Why the fan on my macbook pro continues to run at a fast pace for long periods?

    I guess that the fan runs constantly, because the CPU is working at a high rate. I rebooted several times but without any resolution systems. At the bottom of the computer is very hot at times so place the laptop on an object that allows good air circulation. This problem occurs intermittently every few weeks or more. I wonder if it is downloading an important upgrade, do a scan of viruses, or by working as a bot. Lights for hours. Currently, I estimate that it has worked rapidly to possible 6 hours. Thank you.

    It will usually be to dissipate internal heat from running resource intensive applications.

    Download and install a temperature/speed control application.

    Open the activity monitor all THE PROCESSES and CPU to display values between high and low.

    When the fan speeds up, post pictures of both for review.
