recording two mics at once

[Devan]

How can i setup protools so i can record two mics i have in the mbox at the same time for singing and playing??

hook up 2 mics. Create 2 tracks. Set one to channel 1, the other to channel 2 (probably already setup like this), record-arm the tracks (little red button on the fader-strip) and go into record (click rec-button on transport and then play. Or just hit the numeric "3")

thats the problem though, its not already setup like this. When I record enable both, only one is coming through.

Does one of your mics reqiure phantom power? that could be the problem. What types of mics are they?

Could be as simple as a bad cable. Does the track that isn't recording receive audio before you start rec/playback?
