Why Can't I:
Plug the BB (Baby Bottle for future referncing) into my Fostex MR8 via an XL Cable (I believe that is what they are called), record it onto the Compact Flash Card, then plug the flash card into my CF Card Reader and yet I can't hear it play as a .wav file. I can do it with a different microphone, just not the BB?

Any help would be very appreciated.

its an XLR cable and umm, do you have phantom power on? i would seriously doubt this has anything to do with the microphone.
 
Oh, I need phantom power. Hah. That's it right there. Though I orignally thought getting this Mic for $15 at a garage sale was great, see "What A STEAL!", I now see it just as good, though I need to get some sort of phantom power device. Any inexpensive but still pretty good ones? I will have about $115 to spend on either a stereo compressor or now I guess some sort of Phantom Power device.

Any suggestions?
 
You didn't get it for $15 at a garage sale. Stop living in fantasy land.
 
why couldnt this deal have gone to someone more deserving! like me! oh well, god owes me one for this...

umm. an audio buddy has two pres and is only 80 dollars.

No, yes, yes I did. Though it was explained further in a different post of mine, I wish you'd direct all comments to that post.

I'd tell you to stop living in your fantasy land, just because I got a good deal on something. I'm sure one day, you'll find just as good of a deal.

Ship me the Blue Baby Bottle and I'll ship you back a Studio Projects C1 with an Audio Buddy.

I'll do even BETTER than that. Send ME the BB and I'll send you $120. OK. $125. Then get you an RNC compressor to go with your other mic. You don't even need the BB anyway. You don't have phantom power.

How can you change opinions on a mic you haven't heard yet ?
Without phantom it's dead. And it's too new to show up on any garage sale for 15 dollars.
 
Yo SL- I hear some envy coming out in the local boys. They want one too, but the going price is about $400, if you look around. I think you'll find it's very good on acoustic guitars and other instruments, but will only work on some vocalists. It is a bitch to be accused of being a liar by people who don't know you and have no evidence. Yes, the world is full of people who will sell their kid's stuff for a stupid price. We did that on a magic collection recently, and the $50 I spent on that collection paid for a Joemeek twinQ and a Studio Projects C-3. My brother's 1896 Martin cost him $20, and his copy of "The Lost Cause", signed by Robert E. Lee, sold at auction for over $6000. It cost him $1.-Richie
 
In Music Mans' original thread on buying this mic at a garage sale for $15, he claimed that the mic worked and sounded great.Now, he's says that he didn't know it requires phantom power to work.I smell a big, steamy pile of grade-A bullshit.

Whoops! I was at the garage sale with a friend of mine, whom I record mostly with. Most of my recording equipment is at her house, so we tested the Mic on a mixing board of hers. Then, later when I brought it home, I didn't know it needed phantom power, which is why I started this thread in the first place.

You can smell whatever you want, I got my question answered and I thank those that helped me.
