Hi Bryan,


I know it's frowned on around here telling people to R.T.F.M., but in this case I think it appropriate. You are trying to record audio with no idea about a mixer's basic operation, let alone gain staging a signal.

First, read the mixer manual. It will explain how to connect the USB mixer, then you should read this:

This is an amazing hobby, but you will get more out of it knowing some basics.


Regards,


Bob
