Mic issue
I borrowed a condensor mic from a studio, to record some stuff and I couldn't seem to get it going. Weird.
It was an MXL, large diaprahgm. I was using a Mobile-Pre unit, which was recording guitar just fine, but then I went to put the mic into the XLR input for channel 1 and had taken out the guitar input line.
Here's what happened--I could actually hear sound through the speakers coming from the mic, yet no signal! Nada. Weird. How can you get sound come in through your pc speakers and not have any registered signal.
Not only that, but I couldn't record anything or didn't know what was up at least..
Then the silly program froze up on me and I couldn't save anything or maybe it was not in the right file format? I don't know. I saved something today, so maybe it was a glitch.
What to do on the mic?
