Could I get a 1/4" to RCA adapter into a mini plug Y adapter? That might cause more noise, but it will ensure I get sound, correct?

Like such? But then, wouldn't it play only in the left speaker?

Is this a possibility? If so, I can run down there right now (it's a few blocks away) before it closes and get a functioning setup before the end of the day! It does say it's stereo to stereo. But it doesn't give anything more than that. Do you think that'll do? :confused:

Thank you for the help. I checked the adapter and it says "Mono 1/4" to Mono 1/8"". I guess that solves the problem! So I need another adapter now, is that right? If yes, is it one I can go right now and buy at RadioShack or Circuit City?

Wow, if I had that much money, I'd invest in so many other things than just one guitar.

So I've reviewed what I've gathered, and here are my conclusions: I can't afford a preamp. So what I'll have to do is get the next best thing, which is simply trash my XLR-to-phono cable and get a XLR-to-phono adapter, then, in turn, a regular ol' 1/4" cable into a 1/4"-to-1/8" adapter, into...

Oh, I've looked at it, and it's a dynamics for sure. It's a Samson Q7. And I think the salespeople can be good. But it's very rare. I went with a friend, and he got a real nice guy that got him exactly what he wanted (a drum machine). I'm just not as lucky.

Oh no, no I didn't install it separately, it came with the computer.

I know the mic input works. I've recorded with it in the past. But the line in... how exactly do I test it with a CD player? I don't have anything that goes out of the player and into the line in (in other words, a male-to-male 1/8" cable)

Wow, that all makes so much sense. Thank you so much for the help. I am definitely calling the manager first thing tomorrow. I am enraged with this salesman. EDIT: After looking for those interfaces, I have to say that, as much as they may be the best answer, I have no money to spend on them...

That's a crazy story! You must've walked out of there a happy man! And I might just do that. I come from a family of very crafted and skilled complainers (to managers and waiters and such :D ).

What do you mean not acceptable for a decent recording?? I don't think so. I use Screenblast Acid 4.0 and I didn't unisntall anything. Yes it does. I've tested it and, as well as any other plug ever, it doesn't work. :( True. In retrospect, I think I should've done that. But then I, if I...

The setup is such: Mic --> XLR to 1/4" cable --> 1/4" to 1/8" adapter --> Realtek AC97 soundcard Line In The problem is such: I hear no sound. I've tried everything. I plugged it into the Microphone input, I put all the volume controls up, I checked everything about the soundcard and it's...

I am having the same exact problem... Same sound card and everything... It's very frustrating

Amen, brother The guy did seem pretty strange

Thing is, the Sam Ash is 20 miles away + toll tickets + gas money... :( I might just call them...

Realtek AC97... it came with the computer I realised it does have something "resembling" a preamp with it... And it does help when I turn it on... But I still get mostly silence

the guy at sam ash told me not to get a preamp because he said my sound card had it and "dynamics mics don't need them anyway" now I can't record anything :mad:

This sounds pretty good. I'd say it's more reflective and drowsy than it is sad. There's more of a lethargic feel. Especially in the drums. It sounds kind of like instrumental shoegazer. It's like latter day Slowdive without the vocals. Which is actually a good thing, since Slowdive never did...

This is pretty cool! I especially like when you moan "rhubarb! rhubarb!" in "The Vegetables"
