...I just got a new mic so I can record my audio's.. :grin:...But..for some reason it won't record I plugged it in the mic socket an I can hear it through the speakers but it won't record..Anyone can help me?[Also it used to work with my old mic..]

what type of mic did you get, what program are you using to record?

Okay..I didn't actually bye it my uncle gave it to me..its says "dynamic" SHURE SM58 and I got acoustica...

Tongue, I got the same fuckin problem, yesterday I bought the mic and I hear my voice but can't record it, shit

I believe so it has everything to do with the soundcart on your computer
on my computer it woulden't work so i tried my sisters(witch has an other soundcart as mine)
and there it works
so...

daim I was afraid that was the problem, Sum guy is gonna fix my pc up this weekend...hope the shit works after that

if thats' the case..im not about to go out an buy a new sound-card for an old bull-shit computer...im getting a new computer next month anyway...ill just wait

lucky bastard...
I don't have the money to do that

^ me either it took a hell of a long time to save up....

play with the properties...

the question is, what are you trying to record your audio into? what program? once I know what program youre trying to use and what edition of windows, i'll be able to help you get it up and running....and as for the shure sm57/58 those are great LIVE mics...they arent the greatest for recording, but I've pulled off some pretty good recordings using one for vocals...its all about how you approach it.

okay.. to record im going to use acoustica as the program an i have windows 95...

i'll be honest, ive never used the program...my suggestion would be to verify that the program receives its input from the mic input on your sound card and isnt looking for an alternate source. check in the audio perferences, you may have to go thru a handful of menus to find it, since i cant direct you right to it...

on a more basic point, do you have to select the track you want to record to? if so, have you done so?

it should also be noted that without phantom power, dynamic mics plugged into soundcards do not have enough voltage to produce a high enough signal to be recorded...if possible, you might want to get a small mixer that you can plug the mic into so that the mic has the voltage to actually have a decent signal.

Crytearia has phantom power :smile:

whut he said^^^^^^

thanks people i'll try messing aroudn with it a little..
