Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 22:40:02 -0500 Hi. Well, I suppose I could always try a different battery in the pre-amp, but in all my tests I haven't actually used that yet. I'm simply plugging the mic directly into the archos. I did try it with the pre-amp and it didn't work either though. But hey you never know. Everything in the recording settings appear to be right, the mic itself, not the pre-amp, but the mic itself is plugged into the line-in jack on the archos, the source is line-in in the recording options, and the quality is set at 5. If I missed anything I'm sure one of you guys can let me know.
