This is very interesting, as a bunch of W7 users (me included) have
purchased the Shure X2u: XLR to USB Adapter -- and no one has been able to
make Avid "see" it in the Capture Tool.
Mac users have repeatedly reported success -- but not W7.
And on my HP-Z800 with W7-64, my MC6 Capture Tool does not report any input
other than what is available on my Mojo DX or "Host-1394".
Can you please describe how Windows Mixer appears in your Capture Tool --
and are you running Software-Only with no additional I/O hardware?
Thanks

pretty good control over the input level and you can monitor in Avid - I use
it for guide VO through the Capture tool or through Audio Punch In. But with
a quiet room it would be fine for proper VO with a bit of eq and compression
applied in Avid.

capture the audio signs out of Avidl:
http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm and then either the excellent PPM
meters from Darkwood: http://www.darkwood.demon.co.uk/PC/meter.html many of
which are free or PPMEmulator which costs a bit:

http://www.masterpinguin.de/index.html?neu/files/content/downloads.html
which gives you a spectrum analyser as well but costs quite a bit more.
