Sure you can PM me if you want to call.
In the meantime,
You want to make sure the Mic Mate is selected as your input AND output device. It becomes your soundcard, and disable the internal card, or at least it is not selected in your global options.
Now with the MIc Mate as your audio device, create an audio track. In the input dropdown, you should see the mic mate, select it. Also, in the output, select it as the output as well. Now if you arm the track, you should see the signal meters registering the level. Click record and you are good to go.
To listen, you need to plug headphones or speakers into the Mic Mate, remember, this is now your soundcard. To listen while recording, click on the input monitor button beside the arm track icon on the audio track you are recording.
Good Luck
