Okay! Looks like I have narrowed the culprits down to a faulty XLR cable and also what looks like a suboptimal adapter. For some reason the line in on the mixer only picks up.
I apologize for the constant cuts. This was filmed whenever I had a spare minute over the course of the last few days. Weekends are when I have the kids to look after the entire day (no problem :)
Edit: I had messed up my links when I first uploaded this video.
Sorry for lack of background music. This video is intended strictly for testing. Also, lack of editing time due to kids crawling on me.
Music briefly heard:
Heroes of Might and Magic III - Armageddon's Blade Campaign Theme
Heroes of Might and Magic III - Grass terrain theme
Heroes of Might and Magic III - Armageddon's Blade Dragon Slayer Campaign Theme
