I'm planning on recording the audio for a little music concert on july 18th, and I was wondering if you guys with iSight could talk about how good the audio quality is on it? Also, I need to know if iSight's mike can be selected as input for sound, and used in apps like Sound Studio. Thanks in advance.

Oh, if it's possible, it'd be great if someone could post a sample of recorded audio from it. Maybe recording some music or something. Thanks.

I don't think recording with that mic is such a great idea.

It's probably optimized for voice...

I would go with a Griffin iMic and a decent microphone.

Thanks for your suggestions, but I'd really like an opinion from someone with an iSight. I might just test it ourselves, and if its unsatisfactory, send it back. (With 15 bucks for opening the box).
