help me to do my first recording !

[Batis]

hello everybody,


OS Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
M Audio Fast Track
Pro Tools M-Powered 8

I have a microphone RODE and I put its jack into the input that has Guitar icon not the left one that has microphone icon.

I just need some one to tel me how to start recording and set up my settings to record for the first time, and is my input setting alright or this would not let me to record by using the microphone? notice that I put my microphone jack into the input of Guitar icon.

thank you..

I have to say that I'm not surprised that no one has answered your post yet as you really should dig into the manual and read before you post this kind of question. While I can't speak for everyone on this forum, I'm willing to bet that all of us have really done our homework and only after then we would post a question having a problem that we just couldn't figure out on our own. You may think that I am being mean about this but actually I trying to help you down the line. Again you should READ THE MANUAL and practice on your own before posting this kind of ?

As caruso said, and spend a little time just reading the DUC and noting the categories. This section is for HD users and there is a dedicated section for M-Powered on Windows. Youtube is a tremendous source of tutorial videos.

Not to be a Smart ***** but For a question like this you might want to READ THE MANUAL (RIF) or (RTFM) The rest of us are way to busy recording chart topping hits and trying to figure out what we are going to wear to The Grammy Awards and what Starlett we are going to take to try and type out the whole process of how to record in Pro Tools when its all ready out lined in The Manual.
