garageband question - MICs

hi there. have macbook , have been recording vocals built-in microphone. purchased shure condenser mic record on. i've been having trouble , though, because doesn't seem pick music well. i've been recording 1 track of me playing guitar , singing, , before worked fine. since switched, though, recording low. have turn recording level loud , creates lot of hissing in background. have mic running on phantom power , plugs directly space next headphone input.

have suggestions on how (admittedly better built-in) mic of job?

 

first of assuming using external phantom power unit if condenser , plugging straight record in of mb. if not usb microphone using.
secondly highly reccoment buying external sound card can pick these relatively cheap purposes of single input recording. because trying record device have sub quality componants more basic recording needs. why getting hiss. sound of elctronics produced inside mb.

going original assumption. microphone ayou using model ( shure what?) if standard condenser microphone must using xlr cable phantom power unit try turning phantom power unit if possible , turning computer level down. if componants in phantom power unit enough should eliminate of hiss.
again making many assumptions here if can give me more details try , more.
