Honestly not trying to pour salt in your wound - I've been there and done that before which has led me to to the following process...

The key to successful 007 is have everything running, levels set conservatively (until you have confidence to where they need to be), signal clearly visible in the recorder, recorder time clock is moving, and recorder locked.......... and this is the KEY TAKEAWAY...... before you sit down in your seat.

Thank you. A tough lesson learned. I should have checked sooner and I should have just plugged into the recorder and taken my chances.

before you leave home, see that every thing is working OK, then go to the gig, sit down, then get set up. Not before sitting down, you can move shit around enough to fuck things up that way. YMMV

Try using it with the plug in power and bypassing the battery box and see if you get anything. You should

He did, I believe:

Just tried it with the CA -11'S hooked up to the recorder and they work with mic power on and input of 75. Tried with the Ugly battery box and mic power off and got nothing.

This sucks, but yeah, is a good reminder to test everything out as many times as possible, then once more for good measure.

why I dig the internals and the dual mode of the DR-2D.

it makes 'failure' virtually non-existent, even if the mics fail....(bum batteries/card/deck are about the only culprits in that scenario)

people who are fans of the music, they LOVE what I document and capture...people who are fans of themselves....not so much.

Is this the first time you have used it?
Did it work previously?

Buy this one instead
