Help using a USB microphone?! Post by HugoP » Sat Jan 10, 2009 8:12 pm Hi, I've borrowed a USB micropone from a mate which he says is supposedly alright quality which I wanted to use to try and record some sounds and vocals with, but I can't seem to get ableton to recognise or record any input from it. I just downloaded and authorized Ableton Live 9.0.5, and I am trying to use a DigiRack 003 as my audio interface. But the 003 does not show up in the dropdown list in the Audio Input or Audio Output in Preferences. The 003 shows up in the Input/Output dropdowns in my old version (Live 8), but not in the Preferences of Live 9. What am I missing.
Hooking up a microphone to your computer allows you to record sung or spoken vocals in the Ableton Live digital audio workstation. After you've set up a mic, you can overdub vocals on to a backing track, apply effects to your voice or slice a vocal into a MIDI track. You can also use Ableton Live's built-in Vocoder plug-in to modulate a synthesizer or carrier sample with your voice, thereby creating robotic vocals in the style of Kraftwerk or Daft Punk.
Plug the microphone into the 'Mic' jack on your computer's sound card. Right-click the Windows Start button and then select Control Panel from the jump menu. Click Hardware and Sound, then click the Manage Audio Devices Ableton theme mac. link in the Sound section.
Click the Recording Third party administrators. tab. Click the icon next to Microphone, followed by Set Default and then OK.
Launch Ableton Live. Go to Options, Preferences and then Audio. If the sound card is not already enabled in Ableton, select it from the Audio Device drop-down menu.
Click Input Config. If you're using a stereo microphone, click 1/2 (stereo). If you have a mono microphone, or if you're not sure about the microphohe type, click 1 (mono) & 2 (mono). Click the OK button and close the Preferences window.
Click the Arm Session Recording icon, which looks like a circle inside a rectangle, at the bottom of the audio track. Click the circle icon inside the first clip slot to start recording from the microphone. Adjust the track's volume slider to change the recording level.
Press the spacebar to stop recording. Click the Play button inside the newly recorded clip to listen to the recording.
Warnings
Leaving your computer speakers on while recording into a microphone can create feedback.
