Scratch

record somewhere else then import to scratch?

Of course you need one, and also check your microphone settings.  I really don't know what else could be causing the problem.

Yeah, that too.  But my microphone is working fine, it's not me that has the problem!   

Try without one. My computer can record without a mike, although the quality is bad. Yours, if it is semi-new may have one already.

If it doesn't,They will sell them at best buy and office depot for cheap. You probably won't need anything expensive.

if your recording sounds bad try geting a recording program and importing the sound to scratch

d-boy,

You do not provide enough information for us to help you.  For example, where is you music?
   in your head?
   played on an acoustic instrument or sung?
   played on a MIDI instrument?
   recorded on a CD?
   recorded in an iPOD?

Importing sounds that are in WAV and MP3 formats is pretty easy.
Recording sounds with a microphone is pretty easy (though I'd recommend external software like audacity, rather than the crude recording method built-in to scratch).

Anything else will be harder.

Does flute music count? (I play the flute. XD, I don't think the mic could pick up the sound.)

Do you know if you can record sounds coming from the computer you're using with a microphone? I'm not so sure I think I tried but it didn't pick up any sound. BTW I'm using a laptop. Thanks! Oh, something funny is that I tried using one of those singing game mics and it works! Or is it supposed to? Or am I talking to much?

It should work fine

Hey roflcatz, when it comes to wav files, Scratch only accepts uncompressed wav file (it is likely that, if you're using a converter, the option will show up as Windows PCM). 

When I record sounds they always have a lot of static and go super fast.
What's wrong????

Ok, so everyone is saying to use a microphone and record it. But i don't have one! All of my iTunes music is in AAC (what is that...?) format, and you guys are saying make it mp3 but how?! Someone plz help a scratcher in need! Thx in advance!!!

I recommend youconvertit.com . Type your email, choose MP3 and the file, then wait a few mins and you will have pretty mp3s. I'm not sure about iTunes though. You might have to look in Help and search exporting.

Rats! i need a microphone 

i tried a microphone once but it didnt fit in the plug-in thing 

If ya want to get music just go on sounds right click then use export this sounds then tada!
