Recording directly from external device

Hi

I am a long-time Pro Tools user now trying to learn Audition CC.  I use a MixPre-3 as an external audio device, with very good quality microphones; it connects to my MacBook Air via USB.  I'd like to be able to record live from the mics through the MixPre, directly into Audition, but can't figure out what I need to do in Audition to get it to recognize the MixPre.  Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks very much.

    Assuming that the MixPre works OK for other apps on your Mac you need to go to Audition's Audio hardware set up page in Preferences where, hopefully, the MixPre will be shown in the Device box. If not click on the twirl down arrow on the right of the box to see a drop down menu where you can select the MixPre. If it doesn't appear there can you post a screen grab of the Audio harware set up page and post it here for us to take a look at.
