To start, check your USB cable. If using a USB-C equipped mixer or microphone, make sure that you're using the USB-C to USB-A cable that came in the box. Though it may seem counter-intuitive, you cannot use a USB-C to USB-C cable. If you need to connect the unit to a USB-C port on your computer, you can use a USB hub or USB-A to USB-C adapter.

• Your specific mixer's product page found in the Products dropdown
