I am not dealing with PMs on calling you on the phone. You need to RTFM for your mixer. It a 2x2 interface, it has no way to record an individual mic. It lets you record the mixed down 2x stereo output. This is basic basic beginner stuff that you need to sort out, and nothing to do with Pro Tools.

I'll bet the manual tells you exactly what to do to get signal out on the USB. Otherwise it's basic Pro Tools how to record an audio track stuff. If you don't know that start with a beginner's tutorial on YouTube. Mackie always have schematic diagrams for their mixers in their documentation that will identify the 2x2 USB out signal path.... which should make clear to you what bus/signal path you need to drive stuff on in the mixer to get to that interface output.

So if I want to record any kind of vocals through a microphone, I will have to do it through a seperate audio interface, correct?

If you want to record individual input you do. If you can live with recording the mix down you can use the mixer. If you have nothing else going into the mixer then you can make all the mix that one mic and record the main L/R out, but that's it.

Mixers like this are intended for small gigs, rehearsals, practice etc. they are not intended to be recoding interfaces. If you want a recording interface there are literally hundreds to choose from.
