Hi folks i've just joined the forum and am looking for a bit of information and i'll be as clear as i possibly can when explaining my situation.
I've been recoring at home for about 7-8 years and consider myself to have a decent level of understanding about the whole thing. Over the past 2 years i've been using my Rode NT1 mic for recording vocals and have been very impressed with the quality of the mic, but i have now run into a problem and i don't know whether it's down to the mic or the connections (xlr-xlr going through an 8 track mixing desk, into my pc through a 3/4 inch jack adapter).
The problem is this: when recording vocals everything is fine, but when i try and record an acoustic through the mic, after a few seconds a sort of phasing occurs on the signal and the sound ends up very tinny and i have no idea why it's happening.
It's not the sort of thing you can just enter into google and get a million people providing solutions for, so i thought it best to join an active forum to speak to people more clued up than myself in order to seek advice.
If there is anyone here that can relate to this problem it would be very much appreciated if you could shed some light, as i have never had a problem with my current set up in all the years i've been using it. And please, if there's anything i haven't explained in enough detail feel free to fire some questions at me.
Thanks in advance.
