I am so frustrated with this because I have successfully done this before but now I can’t seem to get it to work.
I am using Cubase 7 and UR28M USB Audio Interface.
I have my Rode condenser mic hooked up to input 1 of my UR28M. I have the +48V switch on. I have the input 1 knob turned up. I have an audio track with record enabled in my Cubase project.
When I do a mic test, I hear nothing coming out of my monitors. They’re working fine because all VST tracks are playing and making sound.
I have tried this with both the HI-Z and PAD switches off and on.
Nothing works. I don’t remember what I did the first time I recorded vocals which was back in October.
What am I missing? I have an assignment for a class due in 3 days and I need to be able to record vocals.

Do you have the channels monitor switch selected? (little speaker icon)
Have you checked in vst connections that your input 1 is assigned where you think it is?
Have you made sure that input 1 is selected as the input for the audio track you are recording to?
Also do you have direct monitoring selected in the audio devices setup.
Thanks for all the responses. I figured it out. I had the wrong input going into the track itself. I thought I had checked it but I obviously didn’t.
Recording vocals has a bigger checklist of failure points than just bringing up a VST. Since I don’t do it as often (I write mostly instrumentals) it’s easy for me to forget something. I should probably just make a checklist on a spreadsheet so that all I have to do is go through the list and check everything off as I get to it. That way this won’t happen again.
Thanks again for all the help. I really appreciate it.
Of course nothing can salvage my horrible singing voice.
