Hey Guys. I really need anyones help as of now.
I really saved my cash for this mic to record. I even got a 1.0 -> 3.5mm jack adaptor for it, but when i started recording a while ago it worked on stereo for the first time and it sounded great, but after that all i could get from the lower half of the recordings were blank noise which muffled my recordings. It's really irritating. It's brand new and idk what to do now. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Description of the problem is basically the photo i'll attach to this Please help guys :< I don't want my money wasted with poor sound quality.

The mike is mono. Its signal is being recorded om the left channel, as the picture shows. On the right channel there is no singal, so all you see is noise.

There is nothing wrong with the mike.

The problem lies with your recording set up in Audacity. You need to set up a mono track to pick up the left channel.
 
Gecko TY for the reply but i'd like to ask another question. Can't I get the mic to work recording on Stereo? cuz it sounds better tenfold. Is there any way to do that?
 
Gecko is one hundred percent right.

The 'stereo' that you think sounds better is almost certainly just mono.

A signal recorded to a mono track played back through both speakers, is the same as a signal recorded to L+R of a stereo track, played out both speakers.

Use a mono track to record, and set your main output as L+R, or 1+2.
 
The mic is a mono source--even if you can change things in Audacity to put it in both sides of a stereo track, this should sound identical to a single mono track being played. If there was any difference before then there's something wrong with your set up.
 
Also, what no one has mentioned is that you must be using your computer's built-in soundcard (due to the mini jack reference). Read the stickys at the top of this forum section about computer recording and save up for an audio interface.
