Can I use my studio mic MLX-990 for directly recording on my MacBook Pro (Mac OsX)? I normally record my songs with that microphone through my Fostex MR-8 digital multitracker and put the results on my Macbook later (by using a Flash card reader). Now it would be much easier to record my vocals directly onto my Macbook on Garageband or some other music software. Do I need to buy an additional audio interface like M-Audio Fast Track MKII, or is there a way to avoid that? I tried to connect the multitracker to my Macbook once via USB, while the microphone was attached to it, but the microphone didn't come up on the list of mics on my Macbook.

Thank you in advance.
 
Yes you need an audio interface and be sure it provides phantom power for the mic.

Dont get one of the small usb mic dongles, spend a little more and get a proper asio interface.
Maudio, Focusrite or similar is what you want.
