I never thought about it because I paid for my copy of Pro Tools.
Mics and interfaces are interchangeable. I didn't mean any disrespect, but as I said... Pro Tools SE is not even the "basic" version, it's the stripped down version. Basically, Garageband. You get what you get.
I'm glad you got it working, though. Don't get me wrong.
The thing is, a lot of people here can't help you with SE, because most of us experienced users have paid versions of Pro Tools and have no experience with SE.
Best of luck with future recordings.
