I'll warn you, first, that the link will take you to a movie file (Quicktime I believe). It's a movie trailer. That said, can someone please identify that mic? http://www.voiceoverresourceguide.com/media/comedian.html

If you're not getting video, the hard drive is not an issue, but it's good to know it's working. Have you tested the monitor, itself?

Any chance a pin got bent on the processor during install?

I really like it but would hate to accidently give it a bad rating. I would be interested in hearing it without the echo on the vocal, too.

Bob, How does the scale work? Is 1 the best or is it 10? Steve

The Gefell M930. One fine little mic.

Depends, too, on how quiet and treated your room is. Computers, fluorescent lights, and a multitude of extraneous noises can creep, let alone cars driving by, water running in pipes, and even air running through the ductwork. The dynamic mics you mentioned will pick up less background noise...

Is the software seeing the Firepod as an input device? Even then, there are four inputs to select depending on which line you're going into on the Firepod.

Electro Voice RE20. Can be had for $399, new.

I've used both the Voicemaster and the Symetrix. The Symetrix is a bit easier to set up. Both sound pretty good for the money, though I lean toward the Voicemaster.

If the CPU is running too hot, that will cause freezes and reboots. Is the machine getting enough air flow? I had a machine do the same thing even with a CPU fan. Added a case fan and the problem went away.

Along with what Chessrock said, there's usually a considerable amount of processing going on between the mic and the transmitter.

Check out this discussion. http://gearslutz.com/board/archive/index.php3/t-1801.html About half way down, there's discussion of expansion versus compression ceilings. It may point you in the direction that best suits your need.

Another very nice mic in that price range is the Gefell M930.

When something like that happens to me (note that I say 'when', not if), here's the order that I do things: 1) Scan for viruses 2) Make sure the cpu fan is clean and running up to speed. Remove the memory sticks then put them back (this is a way to reset contact points) and do the same for...

You might try www.bswusa.com. They have some podcasting packages. Check out http://www.curry.com/ It's a good source for podcasting info along with http://www.voicearts.biz/podcasting/pc_main.htm

The problem I ran into with the Firepod was using the unit as both a recording and playback device. I got feedback. I have my mics close enough to the mixing area so that it starts feeding back when trying to edit (in playback mode). Maybe I didn't set something up right. Anyway, my work...

Check out Tom's Hardware, too. http://www.tomshardware.com They do lots of testing and comparisons on all kinds of components.

As for a case, check out the Antec Sonata. It's designed to be quieter than the average case. I agree with the call on Seagate drives. I've only had one fail and that was after about 5 years.

If you're running windows xp, you should be able to put in a second pci video card then go to control panel -> display -> settings and get yourself set up. Hard drives, depending on what you're running (SATA, EIDE, etc) generally have a switch or jumper for setting one up as Master or Slave...
