I just got the ModMic 4.0 to allow me the freedom of not having to use a stand with my AT2035 all the time. I was willing to give up on some of the quality but I did not expect this.
When I first connected it to the front audio ports of my PC case, it didn't work at all. After reading their FAQ I realized that it requires more power than the front of the case provides so I connected it to the back and it worked, but not without a ton of white noise, produced by the cheap on-board Realtek sound card.
Then I tried my Focusrite... I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 that I've been using to record professional microphones, guitars and basses for a number of years..... I had to use a cheap 1/8" to 1/4" adapter to connect to the Focusrite but the microphone wouldn't work this way. The 1/4" inputs on the Focusrite are combined XLR/TRS ports and can run with 48V phantom power. Any idea if it's possible to get it to work? Perhaps if I get a 1/8" to XLR adapter/cable?
Man, this is so frustrating.
