First off I have lost all my instruction manuals 
Second I have never done this before. Geez Im in bad shape.
I have a Mac Power G4. I purchased both a Mackie 1604 and a Motu 2408. I installed Digital Performer on my Mac. Then I installed the Motu audio card. I ran the Free Midi program which came with DP (which I was told to do). In DP I confiqured the hardware driver as "MOTU PCI -324". So its obvious that DP notices that the MOTU is connected.
I have taken one mic which I want to use to record my drums. I have 8 mics but will just learn how to set this one mic up first. I put the one mic in the "mic 3 slot". I then pushed down the "L-R" grey button next to the #3 fader. I then pushed down the "main mix" button which is part of the CTL ROOM SOURCE. I then put my headphones in the phones input and proceeded to turn the "main mix" fader up aswell as the CTL ROOM PHONES volume knob up. This is what I did to get a sound out of the mic when I tapped it. Remember I am a total begginer and dont really know what the f*** im doing.....which is why im here.
What made sense to me was to run a cable from the mackie "direct out slot 3" and run it into the MOTU "analog in slot 3". From the MOTU I just run the "audio wire" into the back of the motu card in my Mac.
I then open a new project but under the level column I am getting no level at all.
I am very very confused. I bet I hooked it up completely wrong. Please tell me where I should hook cables up to. I just want to be able to record from one mic at the moment. Its very hard with out a instruction manual and I don't understand the terms.
I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers.
