problem getting signal from mic into pro tools
Well i'm new to pro tools so hopefuly you can tell me what im doing wrong
Im trying to just record using a microphone.
I opened a new session
opened a new track
specified 1 mono audio track in samples and clicked create
opened the mix window and clicked input audio path and selected analog 1 cause thats the mic input im plugged into
turned up the gain on the 003 rack talked into the microphone and nothing
dont see anything on the meters, hear any sound ETC
AS i said im very new to pro tools im sure its a routing issue or something so can anyone help me out,
Thanks
Mike

turn on phantom power if it's a condensor mic. try other inputs on the 003. try another mic cable.

Phanton power is on even though i dont need it using a sm57 just to test everything, i will try another cable however tommorrow. I just feel like it has something to do with whats selected in the audio imput path should be be analog 1-2 if its input one im using or something else, sorry for such newbie questions
did you try my suggestion of testing the other inputs?
is there some sort of mic/line button on the front of the 003 you didn't push?
do you have any other mics?
do you have a multimeter to test the mic cable with?
