Help! I can't record, what's wrong??
Help!
I woke up one morning to find that I had left my Behringer Mixer on all night long. I didn't think much of it but when I tried to record nothing came through! My mixer didn't light up to indicate incoming sound from my condenser microphone (B-1 Behringer).
I thought it was my mixer, so I bought a new one and nothing improved. Does anyone know what the porblem could be? The XLR cable? The microphone? Fried by possible overheating?
I have never had problems with my mic so I never invested time into technical insight... can someone suggest anything?
Thanks!

Thanks for your Help Phillip. I tried a TAPE IN to the Mixer and the lights indicate a feed in, and I can hear on my head phones. So that means the XLR and Mixer are OK. Looks like I'll need to buy a new Microphone... I wanted to upgrade for a while, perhaps it's destiny but I don't know why it would just stop working... perhaps because I used an adapter for the mixer to UK power? (I have a USA mixer)
Now it's time to find a new mic I suppose, do you suggest any UK outlets?

I just found out that it is indeed the mixer. I've been in a whirlwind of confusion. I tested my mic at the University TV station and it worked fine, as well as the xlr cable, so I think the mixer wasn't transferring power. The strange this is, I bought a new mixer and returned it because it repeated the same as my defective mixer. So the one I purchased may have been faulty when I bought it! Strangeness... now I have to go to the music store and convince the manager that the mixer that I bought 3 weeks ago and returned was defective, and that I should get my money back... but when I returned it I assumed it was fine... sorry if this is confusing... the moral is beware of Behringer I suppose!
