When you say:

2) Select (open) VOLUME button directly under this device name: The "Recording Control Window" should appear.
3) Check input selection & settings of "Recording Control" Window

The VOLUME button is grayed out and I can't click on it so the "Recording Control Window" doesn't appear.

Also,
I'm not connecting my mic to my keyboard. I't going directly into: AUDIO BUDDY DUAL MIC PREAMP/DIRECT BOX. And underneath that I have my DELTA BREAK OUT BOX with 4 ins and 4 outs. It's probably the same thing you have only the "66".

Does this help you to help me?
Thanks,

Peter
