Default Instrument track picking up my microphone, but not my audio track.
Hey everyone, I am using a Mackie Onyx 1640i with my PT 9, and I've been trying to record via Microphone. When using an audio track, it does not pick up the microphone, but when I use an instrument track it does. When using the instrument track it does not record what is coming through the Mic. Anyone have any suggestions?

Help!

Default Re: Instrument track picking up my microphone, but not my audio track.
Instrument tracks are for hosting virtual instruments and recording MIDI. If you're using a mic, you need to record to an audio track. I would suggest reading the PT reference manual on how to record a basic audio track. You need to have your I/O setup properly and set the input/output correctly on the audio track. Also, make sure you have a good signal from the mic on your Onyx.

Are you using a MONO AUDIO track(you should)? Have you set the track input to the correct input source?
