Forced? OK, the quick answer is no, there's only one set of analog I/O for just about every Macintosh hardware I've ever laid hands on--notebook, desktop, they're all the same. What you want is a separate audio interface, like you suggested. Depending on what program you'll be using for your audio editing, you have choices, or limited choices. If you're going to use ProTools, Avid/Digidesign have opened this program up to virtually anything, or if not virtually anything, then a whole lot more than ever they used to allow, so check with your retailer to find out what's supported this week. Just about every major brand, like M-Audio or MOTU, is probably supported, and within those two brands alone is a plethora of choices. Can you use your Zoom H4N as an audio interface, if you have one, which I do not know? Don't know, but it would surely be interesting to me if you could, as that would make a very handy dandy external USB sound device for me. Bottom line is, find out what software you'll be using and what devices it supports natively or with installable drivers.
