Ok, that's some progress made... My computer is recognizing the mic again, thanks for that. As for the gain, even at max gain on my focusrite, without the cloudlifter, with essentially as little space as possible between my voice and the microphone, it's barely audible. What specific driver were...
When I turn the first gain knob significantly up (maybe 80% of the way there) yes I'm getting the green illumination. Even at 100% I have to tap the mic itself to get a red ring. Speaking about 4-6 inches away.
I have everything connected with XLR cables, my focusrite is showing its working. Still have low gain even with the cloudlifter. Not sure what to do, is it not getting enough power? 48v and AIR on Focusrite are on also.
Any help is appreciated!!
