Question

premiere elements 14, mac os x operating system: external USB microphone not detected

hello from germany,

for better speech recordings than using the internal microphone of my imac i purchased an external microphone (producer/type:  recording tools / mcu-01c).

this microphone is detected within the system-settings of the operating system  mac os x sierra.   but trying to use it within premiere elements 14  it isn't detected there. when trying to record a speech comment there is only offered  "internal micro 1 /internal micro 2".

so i made a  test and downloaded a simple audio recorder app and it was possible to record voice comments with that new  USB micro.

i restarted my iMac without success - PE 14 does not detect that microphone for inputs.

anybody some ideas for me?

thx in advance   and have a nice weekend,

dpvl

additional comment:

-------------------------

"PE 14 does not detect that external mico"  means:

it isn't listed within the preferences of  PE 14  / audio / audio hardware -  only the "internal micro 1 / micro 2".

of course that external microphone isn't also  listed  in the dropdown-menu of the  tool "speech comment"

Do your other Mac programs access this microphone?

Have you re-installed Premiere Elements 14 since upgrading to Sierra?
