Mic question...

[stormelements]

I was in the studio recording with my artist and all of the sudden in the middle of recording my artist voice in Pro Tools started going in and out while he was spitting it. I think the mic blew but im not 100% sure. Is there a way to the mic check to see if thats the problem?

was it just the vocals,,,i've seen that happen in pro tools before due to low memory or not the proper memory page file set? (nerd alert!)

If just the vocals,,,try recording in another daw or in a wav editor like Acid or Soundforge.

Open up ur mic and look at ur diaphram and yes use another daw and is ur phantom power workin 100 percent on ur mixer?

Yeah it was just the vocals. Maybe it is the memory. I didn't know that pro tools did that. I'mma try to delete some stuff and try it again.

try this:



Control Panel/System/Advanced Tab/Settings (under "Performance")/Advanced Tab/Change under "Virtual Memory"/Click on "System managed size" and click set. Hit Ok and reboot. If you have enuff ram, you should be good.

do you have a mixer? Try keep the computer out of the signal path. That will rule out your mic one way or another.

I have a Mac. What similar steps would I take to do this on a Mac Powerbook 10.4?
