I just bought the Umik-1 and I can's seem to be able to calibrate the soundcard. I get sound out of my speakers but my mic doesn't register any input. Attached is what it looks like.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you need to calibrate your sound card or not in REW? - Gearspace

Hi folks. Read in another post that calibration is not actually necessary and to just skip that portion in the REW tutorial by GIK acoustics. I am trying to take some measurements using a Focusrite Clarett 4 pre interface and couldn't figure out how to co

I might add, I did download the calibration file. And I have watched at least 50 You tube videos on setting up REW

There is no soundcard calibration with a USB mic. Soundcard calibration is only applicable when it's possible to have an electrical path from the measurement output to the measurement input.
