  1. Im making a guitar with a string thru body, and when i drilled the string-thru holes they didnt turn out perfectly straight. What i have now will still work, in fact it looks kind of cool. Anyway, the holes on the back of the guitar are a little bunched togeteher, so i would have to sand down the rims of the ferrules so theyll fit next to each other.

    So is there something else i could use, or leave it empty? Thanks.

  2. What exactly is your XLR-1/4" converter? Is it something like THIS with a transformer? Or is it a simple XLR-1/4"mono cable? Or is it an XLR-1/4"TRS cable. And is your 1/4"-1/8" adapter mono or stereo (TRS)? Whatever components you're using and how you combine them can make or break your signal.

    My choice of all of those would be the XLR-1/4" adapter with transformer through a mono 1/4"-1/8" adapter.

    yeah, thats exactly it. the XLR-1/4 is stereo, and the 1/4-1/8 is mono. thats the problem. thank you very much.

  3. thanks for all the help, but ive tried all those things. making sure the mic input volume is up, looking at sound level bars, but it still continues to have the same problems.

    im using a demo version of Mackie Traktion, and a free program called Audacity. neither work.

    as for the mic input, i know it works, because for testing i plugged in a guitar directly to it.

    i think my comp just cant record with a mic. thanks for the help.

    (the writing on the back says "MADE IN JAPAN")

    awhile ago i got these pickups off ebay. the guy said they came out of an ibanez prestige.

    they came in dimarzio boxing, along with the wiring instructins, so im not sure if they are dimarzios, or some stock brand.

    so im just trying to verify that my wiring diagrams are correct. (http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schematics/color_codes.html dimarzio, and http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schem...h_1v_1t_3w.html with the dimarzio codes substitued)

    thanks for the help.

  5. its a shure pg57, and i dont thknk it requires phantom power. nothing is said about it in the manuals.

    as for the min and line-in being selected, i only have one, like you said, and it still is not working.

    my computer is a 2002, so it might be incompatible with what im using, but probably not. (i dont know, im computer stupid)

    thhe diaphram has stopped making that wird staticy noise, but still fails to pickup sound.

  6. im trying to record with my mic onto a computer. it has to run through 2 different converters (XLR-1/4", and 1/4"-1/8") to hook up to the computer properly. ive tested all of the components, they work perfectly, but the mic will not pick up any sound at all. alot of the time, the diaphram of the mic itself will make one of those computer-static noises, without picking up any tone.

    my mic book says that you have to run the mic through a mixer, then the mixer to the comp.

    do you have to do this? i just dont want to have to spend 40-50 bucks if i dont have to. thanks.

  8. So who is the manufacturer? If they are SD wiring colour codes, the 3-wire one will be red to live+, white & bare to earth.

    The 5-wire one will be Black to live+, green and bare to earth, red & white need to be taped together as this is the bit that you could short out to earth to give a coil-tap.

    the brand is dimarzio, and i got all the color sitiated. i was just making sure it would work, but it looks like it does. thanks.
