I thought this was a sound card problem, so i went and baught a good soundcard (M-Audio Revolution 5.1) but still have the problem:
When I plug my Mic in and speak into it, it is very very silent. I have turned up all input levels to max and still i have to scream into it for anything to register at all. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is? Any help would be greatly appreaciated. |

i can relate, somewhat. i have a sm58 into a firebox and with the preamp completely cranked, it still doesn't have the signal i would expect. i tested the mic and chord through a tascam four track and it worked well. infact i could hear the room ambience and passing cars outside, something that didn't come through in the firebox. i do like the firebox but at the level i need from it, it produces some noise that i have to e.q. out on every track. somewhere around 1k.
