I have written some music using Finale and I would like to record myself on my laptop singing along to the music.  My laptop doesn't come with a dedicated microphone input port.  Can I use an external microphone using the headphone jack or one of the USB ports to make the recording? 

 

( I know the laptop comes with an integrated microphone if I want to speak to someone with the built-in webcam, but that won't work for what I want to do.)

Hi,


Yes you can, through microphone-head phone jack on the right side:

Thank you very much.  I appreciate your help.  I wasn't able to find out the answer from other sources I tried. Thank you for sending me the manual.
