Default Re: can hardly hear myself while recording

How about posting a full clear description of what you are doing.

What are you trying to monitor through Pro Tools or monitor through the MBox hardware? And where is your mic input gain knob set to? If one mic worked OK and the other was quieter... what was the make/model of the mic that worked? Did you use the same mic cable and input? Can you test the problem mic on a PA, liver mixer etc. You are using the correct side of the AT2020? And are you *sure* you are hearing the low level mic in the headphone, not just hearing bleed through of the live sound.

What do you mean "It's input is very loud when I playback when I recorded."... that sounds like you are using hardware monitoring or some blend of that while tracking and then playing back louder from Pro Tools... maybe with Pro Tools track input monitoring set to input only not auto input. Very easy to accidentally hit the keyboard shortcut (PC: CTRL-K Mac: Option-K), just try toggling that. And do other things mentioned like check the pad is not engaged.
