How record microphone?

[jamland]

Hey there!

Anyone have idea how i can record mic using U-Mix Control Pro?

I have mic connected to U-Mix Control mic input and i hear it through my speakers even without Cross DJ soft but when i try catch this In with Ableton Live, there are no signal seen on all 4 channels...

Same with Cross DJ... can't find the way how record mic

Is it possible at all?

------I USE---------
U-Mix Control Pro
MacBook Pro with Lion
Ableton Live 8
Cross DJ 1.7.1

From what I know the microphone jack on the U-Mix Control Pro can not be routed because it is no input. The U-Mix Control Pro has 4 In / 4 Out audio interface and you can see: all of them are on the back. The microphone works because it is connected directly to the master but you can not use or catch this signal as far as I know.

but thanks for the reply Blackbrook!

You can use an external controller which is connected to your master output as a workaround or connect the master output to an input of the U-Mix Control Pro if you are not using timecodes.

hm.. don't really imagine how make this route
in any case i don't have any external controller except U-Mix Control...

Simply connect the mic to Ableton with your oem soundcard.

that was a reason why i ask it =)
don't want to use additional preamp since U-Mix Control have it

Many controllers send the mic signal direct into the output.

You most likely need a mic with mono jackplug. Not some kind of headset/PC mic.

Alternatively you can use your PC/laptop to use the mic as an input. This would require to use the ASIO4All.com driver to create a virtual soundcard that can use both your PC/laptop as the gemini.

Please explain your intended use so more detailed suggestions can be provided.
