thanks baron, before i get to following your directions...

i have my m audio plugged into the firewire port, and the microphone run right into that just to see if it works, i use adobe to record but i installed their pro tools demo just to see if adobe was the problem, when i opened up pro tools it says that it cannot find the maudio an that it is not plugged in, also i should be getting bus power on my firewire with the 6 pin but im not...

any idea?

i wanted to use the compressor on the vocals i record, it has a lot more options than my mixer

basically i was recording with the mixer, into the computer, but i bought the compressor to help my quality, welll thats what i thougt it would do
