Microphone Problems (Cubase)

L'autrechance

New member
I am new to this, and just getting started with my software etc. I have Cubase Elements 7, using a Novation Nio as interface, and I have an SM58 mic. Computer is a small Acer 11.6 inch laptop.
Everything seems to be set up and installed correctly, made Nio default, checked the Bus input/output etc. Mono In/Stereo Out but the mic is not being picked up in Cubase when I attempt to record vocals. It is likely to be something obvious I am doing wrong but I can't figure it out. Do I need external speakers as well? Could it be that the internal audio on computer is interfering somehow?
All help appreciated! Mic is new, software is new and Nio definitely works so has to be me.
 
Do you have the Novation selected as the USB input and output device in Cubase? You should be monitoring with headphones plugged into the Novation (speakers will give feedback when the mic is recording!)
