That link sends me to a Mobile Video page with a bunch of music videos on it. What's the full title of the piece? Koz

I need to stop what I'm doing for a while to sit through the video and look at your pictures. Koz

Oh, and plug the mic in first. Then the mixer. Koz

I knew I had it here somewhere. This circuit is designed to connect to the 1/4" plug on the right, but you will be soldering it to your XLR plug. The 10K resistor stabilizes the voltages and currents in the circuit before you plug the mixer in. If you don't use that, you could get a serious pop...

With one other variation. Sometimes the 1/4" connection will have two thin black bands around the shaft instead of one like that one has. The mixer should say what the connections do, or dip into the instruction book.

The "hot" wire from the circuit goes to pin 2 on the male XLR connector that you plug into the mixer. The cold wire or ground goes to both pin 3 and pin 1. This is an "unbalanced" electrical circuit unlike a regular microphone and the cable shouldn't be much over three or four fe...

I'm looking for the original of that picture. It's not reduced in size for publication. The extra resistor is to make the capacitor happy and to prevent serious pops when you plug the unit into your mixer. You should always use 2200 ohms (or 2.2K -- same thing, red, red, red). That's the value of th...

That's very strange. If I select my built-in microphone (which is obviously mono) I can still select "2 (stereo)" in Device Preferences. I particularly like that one because unlike some of the left-brain elves, I find it disconcerting to work in a stereo project with a mono track. This fo...

Change the export filename. MyMusic > MyMusic2. Don't add file extensions. Audacity will do that. If you start having troubles with Windows, sometimes it's valuable to force it to show you "real" filenames and not the Windows' version. -- Hidden File Extensions -- Start > My Computer > Too...
