BackTrack+Mic - no LineIn recording

Hi,

today my Backtrack stopped to record from LineIn - it is always in Mic mode.

It worked for about 1 month now without problems.

Dis- and reconnected my LineIn cable - nothing. Mic is always active, no way to record from LineIn anymore.

Any ideas?

    Additional info:

    plugging my guitar directly into the BackTrack it works;

    the LineOut of my amp is no longer recognized (and the LineOut signal is ok)

      Re: BackTrack+Mic - no LineIn recording

      Since the BackTrack's LineIn works with your guitar, the only thing that can be happening is that the cable from your amp is not carrying the signal properly. Are you using the same cable when making sure that the amp's LineOut signal is OK?

       

      Are you perhaps using a stereo (TRS) cable from your amp's Line Out to the BackTrack Line In? If so, maybe the cable is carrying a mono signal on the channel that is not making contact with the BackTrack's mono LineIn jack.

        I was very sceptical because it worked for some time now....but you are absolutely right!

        Plugging in a mono cable -> mic is disabled

        Plugging in a stereo cable -> mic is still enabled, LineIn is ignored

         

        So I have to fetch a mono XLR->1/4"... weird.

         

        Thanks a lot!
