Focusrite 2i4 not receiving signal from RODE NT1

I'm currently trying to use my new RODE NT1 microphone to record into ableton. I am using a Scarlett Focusrite 2i4 as my audio interface. I am aware of the need for phantom power and have the '48v' button switched on on my interface. Although I have the phantom power on the interface seems to be receiving no signal from the microphone.

General question from a beginner

So I stumbled on this website to find information from pros on what studio equipment to buy for a small home studio. I plan on using it to mix and master my vocals. If someone could give me a list on what to get i'd appreciate it, My budget is $3500 max, As far as the programs,mic,anything else I need .. I just need to know what to get then i'll learn from there. Thank you and God bless.
