external mike recording presentation problems
I am trying to record a presentation on Keynote 12.2.1. I am using an external mike for better sound quality. It works beautifully until I have to stop the recording. If I stop the recording to re-record due to a mistake or just to take a break while I get my thoughts together, it will continue to record... or so I think. When I go back to listen to it, it will play up to the spot I stopped and will go no further, not even with the video. I tried this several times with the same results.
Out of curiosity and experimenting to solve the issue, I tried to record... stop... record... stop...record but this time without the external mike. Using the built in mike on my Macbook Pro (Ventura 13.1) all worked out just fine without the external mike. So my deduction is that is has to do something with when the external mike is hooked up.
Since I don't want to record a 45 minute video in one shot I need to get this to work somehow with the external mike. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
