I recently bought an MXL 770 microphone from a garage sale. When I took it home, I plugged it into my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and the "halo" light turned green, showing that the interface was getting a signal from the mic, but when I tried to record anything with it (I am using Ableton Live 9 Lite) it didn't pick anything up. I press record on the program, and the cursor starts to move across the screen, but I don't even get that sound wave thing. I plugged in my guitar using the same XLR cable, and it worked, signifying that the cable isn't the problem. Is the microphone the problem? And if so, how do I know what the specific problem is with the mic, and is it fixable?
Thanks for your help!!
