it was also pan right

i tried to clean it up to see if it worked but just seems like the mic is messed up

maybe more expereince guys at mixing n stuff might know

[DelinQuent]

yeah i know it was panned.
it's a Behringer mic, going into a M-Audio Firewire 410 box, to the computer.

i have a behinger b1 mic so from experience i can tell u more or likely your cables broke.Its happend to me like 4 times before cause i used adapters to covert it to mic jack.Then i bought a cable that didnt need adapater and aint had a problem.

[DelinQuent]

you got any links as to what i need, cause we have the same exact mic.

np,ill get a link and post in here asap....also the other day while recording i noticed this fucked up thing....the mic made sum crazy hissing and distortion noises. It was totally out the blue,I wonder if this is what happening to you,as we have same mic.

I thought water or damp condensation had got into it overnight,but like it went after waiting 10 minutes.


ill go grab that link bruv.

ok after much searching lol ive managed to get exact names for what you need....

Twin 1/4" Mono Jacks to 3.5mm Stereo Jack <<<



^^^ theres a picture of one type of brand of this cable.My one is made by a company called STAGG< the main thing to note is to buy quality.The more you pay the more likely its quality.

also this is my mixer...



behringer ub802^

just so to check our setup is similar,as we have the same mic.

[DelinQuent]

yeah see i don't use a mixer, i just use the mic into the M-Audio FireWire 410 interface.
it's definately my cable tho, the cable going from the bottom of the mic into the interface, because when i move the cable it get less or more crackles depending on where it is. all i really need is a new cable, thanks for the help it's appreciated.

in that case....

when you go to the shop,ask for stagg.You know its quality then.Oh also gold connectors.If they try giving you anything that needs adapters tell them to shove it,there usless.

and i knew it was your cable,i had same thing man.Really pissed me off when it first happend i thought damn,mics gone!

oh and np man
