M-Audio Microtrak
anyone using an M-Audio Microtrak?
I have nice microphone, a Beyer omnidirectional with XLR to 1/4" cable... the Microtrak has a Left and a Right 1/4" input
I would like to record in stereo, but with the one mic.
Anyone know if that is possible? I had a splitter / adapter to go from one 1/4" to two, but it doesn't seem to work (of course I got it at Radio Shack because that was closer to my house)
Just curious... I already did my audio audition using what I had, but if anyone has any tips I'd be appreciative. I'm new to audio arts.
THIS IS FUN!
I have a Microtrak too and I thought it had 1/4 inch inputs, but actually, they are "tip ring sleeve" 1/4 inch inputs, which basically means the 1/4 inch has to have a little ring around it in a certain place or it won't work correctly. I suggest you purchase a tip ring sleeve splitter and you should be recording in stereo in no time. Also, be sure to update your Microtrak firmware at the M-Audio website because they are always fixing bugs and improving stuff for that little piece of equipment. Best of luck!

awesome... thanks for the tips...
and I just spent the better part of an evening downloading all the firmware updates in sequence just to make sure! I haven't had it long enough to know if it works better or not.

It's possible, just make sure the adapter is Mono at the quarter inch end other wise the signal will still be split to one side. Also check if the xlr to quarter inch cable is normal phono or TRS.
Hope that helps.
not sure... I guess I'm heading back to Guitar Center.
thanks!
