Can't get signal with my brand-new USB converter cable...

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm a new Audition user and I'd like to plug in my AT2020 mike with this particular USB converter cord. The cord blinks when I plug it in, indicating that there's some sort of data, signal, or information running through it. When I select it in Audio Hardware Preferences, I believe it's showing up as USB PnP Sound Device. But so far no signal when I hit record. Please advise! Thank you.

Unfortunately the AT2020 is a condenser mic that requires 48 volts phantom power to work. This USB adapter cable doesn't provide this. You will need a much better USB audio interface with a proper mic preamp and phantom power to be able to use this or similar mics with Audition. Something like https://www.amazon.com/BEHRINGER-Audio-Interface-1-Channel-UM2/dp/B00EK1OTZC/ref=pd_sim_107_10?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0…

You have posted this question to the Captivate forum, but it looks like you want to have it on the Audition forum. I will move it.
