Hello, just a new beginner starting off with a home studio.

I downloaded Mixcraft to put on the PC and attached an AT4040 microphone via the Icicle XLR to USB converter, and tried recording some audio. Both the computer and Mixcraft recognize the Icicle.

I am in the process of upgrading my home studio from a "jam" setup to being able to record on a computer. I got all the parts in the mail and got it so that the keyboard, base, and guitars are working get but the mic is killing me. Here is what I am using.

I'm sure this can be answered VERY easily by someone with a bit of experience but I'm stumped! I've just setup a basic recording system to create a podcast. This is my first attempt at any type of recording and have NO experience. The problems is that I can only record the left channel from a mic and wondering how to set up the mic so that both left and right will record.

I cannot get the microphone on my headset to work on my Motion Computing Tablet PC, Win XP. I know there is nothing wrong with the mic because it works on my other computer.

I got a hold of some mics and recording equipment today, and sadly the connection I thought might work for me, won't. For these mics, I'll need something to convert from the mic cable size to 1/4" (patch cable size), or even headphone size (1/8"). The only thing I have access to that can do that is the actual mixing board, which I'm not at liberty to use.
