Hey there guys, new to these forums and looking for some advice
So I'm recording some songs I've written with the drummer from my band in a home studio setting. While recording with the Shure PG 57 drum mic that I am using on our small tom, I noticed that there was no signal being picked up by it. In order to trace the source of the problem I used the lead cable on a different microphone and it worked fine, suggesting that it isn't a cable issue I presume. The microphone also does not work with any other leads. So, it seemed pretty clear to me that this is a microphone issue. So, I went and borrowed a Shure Beta 56 A Supercardioid dynamic microphone from a friend as a replacement only to find that this microphone also wasn't working. It didn't matter what lead I used on it, it just did not work..... I thought it was strange that 2 different microphones were not working. Sure yeah maybe by chance my friend's microphone was also dysfunctional, however, it was only lightly used so this theory seemed strange...... Does anyone know what the source of my problem could be? I would really like to use my original Shure PG 57 to continue recording. Is it just simply something in the microphone that needs to be fixed or is there some thing more underlying at play?
Thanks for any suggestions or advice you can give me
