Hey guys. at this point i have just miCD my guitar amp and i am able to record tracks and on to the hardrive. When i play them back i cant hear anything.
Im useing a Mbox2... i dont have any monitors hooked up, do i need them in order to hear anything? i just have the usb cable going from the mbox to the computer... i thought i would still be able to hear playback threw my computer speakers since the audio IS on my harddrive?
When i go to set the output device all i see is bus 1 bus 2 stereo etc etc... i was hoping there would be a output that said USB but unfortunetly there isint...any ideas? thanks.

This, unless you are using a laptop. Then you'll need monitors or headphones plugged into the M-Box output. PT8 only works though its own hardware; it can't access your computer's regular sound card.

Would having a XLR to XLR cable be alot better?

Yes. First because that is the jack designed with a preamp for a microphone. Second, you will need less gain adjustment for the mic because of the first point.
Now, if the mic itself is generating the hum then that is a problem and if it has been dropped enough (and isn't a Shure SM57/58) then maybe a new mic is in order. But I would start with the proper cable.
the mic is a CAD 411 thats seen better days. Thanks for the in

Splitting a "stereo" (dual mono) XLR output into two channels of speaker amp. Or similar. That is certainly part of the hum problem if not all of it.
