i have the Samson R10S microphone but when plug it into my ipod touch for the voice recorder it doesn't even reginster the mic (even with a specialised ipod adapter)

Also when i plugged the mic into my PC for recording sounds, even if i was talking loudly into the mic, you would hardly hear the recording when played back (even at full volume)

Have you ever had any problems with this Samson R10S microphone??

Please help!

@spanner1995 I did have to up the gain a bit in post, but otherwise it did pretty well. On my Mac, my volume is quite low. I'd recommend plugging it into a mic pre-amp.

@inferno10 how did you up the gain? and i dont have the money to buy a preamp, sorry im new to this, all i wanted was a cheap mic to use how you have in this video :/

?

@spanner1995 Final Cut Pro, which I use for editing, has the ability to increase gain. Depending on what camera you're using, you might be able to also increase gain in-camera.

It's ironic that this video was shot on the Pentax K-7, which is not actually compatible with the Eye-Fi card.
