Hey sup HR! K I have a huge problem. I am running Adobe Audition 3 on Windows Vista with a Stearling Audio ST55 Condenser Microphone, M-Audio Fast Track mic recording interface, phantom power, and Alesis M1Active 320 Monitor speakers.

Here is the problem, I GET NO SOUND, well my vocals...nothing is picking up! Except a distortion sound when I record. Here is a link to the sound! Click Here! Now I believe I have everything setup the right way. In Audition in the Audio Hardware Setup menu it is set on: M-Audio USB ASIO (in the Driver section) The M-Audio driver says connected and working. The device is on and running and is set to Mono (Guitar Center said thats what it should be on!) I tried to set it on stereo and still nothing.

Phantom Power is on too and working and on the mic there is two small switches one being either 0db or -10db?!? and the other being ___. and .___ something like that (wish i had a pic) But yea I spent alot of money on this stuff and I am now lost. Can't seem to find any help. Could anybody give a guy a break? Thanks - Gage
 
Real quick....do you have another mic you can swap out? If that doesn't work, it's on your PC.

But if it does work, it's the mic connection.

Kind of obvious but I like cross-indexing problems.
 
yea I do let me try dont go no where lol but its not a condenser
 
k a regular mic plugged into the unit does not work and i plugged it into the mic port on the pc too. Weird! I have no exp. with condenser mics.
 
wow just playing around and there is sound now but VERY low. But lol its clear. so the mic is working I have to work with the settings in adobe i guess. any ideas? I changed the settings in the track area if you know what I mean!
 
On the track you are recording onto, is the input source assigned to the device and channel where the mics is?
 
OK...sounds like you're close.

Here's a crazy idea...but...

Control panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Voice Tab>Voice Recording>Volume

Is the slider up? And is it not muted? And is it showing your correct gear as the hardware?
