Fuckin Mic Not Workin

IP:

This is seriously the worst feelin in the world.... ive been at this for 2-3 days, and i cant get it to work...... the problem has to do with when where i plug the XRT cord from the mic into the Input for the pre-amp

has anyone had this problem.. if so, do u know if its prolly the mic thats messed up or the pre-amp?

THIS IS SO GAY....... especially wen u have like 2 songs to record, ugh..... bitch

well the mic used to work....... but this problem has happened before, and i used to just have to move the cord around alil in the input socket of my preamp and it would work fine.... and than i went thru a real long stage after that where there was no problem wat so ever...... and i didnt need to jiggle the cord around in a "hot spot" to get it to work.... but now its been three days, and i cant move the cord around anywhere to work....

I was gonna suggest flippin it around, but it's probably female to male. what barand of wire is it? it might be broken inside or the xlr connector is loose from the wire.

if you have a second XLR in your set up, try swapping them around and see if that helps, if not, might be time to cash it in and get a new cable mayne

well that could have EASILY fucked the port up. same type thing happened to the soundcard on my computer after a good fwew dosen tugs. shit just doesn't line up liek it used to.


but for an XLR, try bending the prongs out slightly so they make more contact with the connectors, get what I'm saying?
