How do I mix my voice in headphones on Sonar ?

Hi everyone,
I bought a FOCUSRITE Scarlett Solo 2nd generation a few days ago. I don't have any virtual mix with it and I can't hear my voice as much as I want to in my headphones... I have search everywhere if there is a solution about it and I didn't find anything. Just one guy told on a forum that I had to mix the voice directly in the record software... But I didn't find how I can do this on Sonar ?
Sorry if my english isn't so well... If anyone can help me on this I'll be greatfull !

    Need more information to help. You might want to contact Focusrite support if you don't get it here.
     
    What is the source of your voice? Are you using a microphone plugged into your Scarlett interface? Is it a microphone attached to your headphones? Is the microphone/headphones USB or something else?

    Hi, and welcome to this forum.
    Turn the "Direct Monitor" switch to the right / on.
    Try to adjust the master out, so your input matches your playback.
    Hope it helps.
    All The best.

    I'm using a microphone plugg into my scarlett interface with an XLR cable.
    The "direct monitor" is on and I can hear my voice but very very low.. And my out monitor is nearly at max... Even if the master on the software is low, I cannot hear my voice loud... :/

    Do you have the gain turned up on that input? See this article:

    What microphone are you using? Does it require phantom power?

    I was just going to say the same, USB power does not always supply enough juice for a phantom powered microphone. 
    If not possibly the mike, the cable or the interface is broken. Only way to test is to replace each item. 
    There is no mix control software for the Solo so all monitoring is done on the sparse front panel.  
    My son in Law has one and we had no problem setting him up with a SM 58, The pre amp level is at about 12 o clock. 
    Sing your loudest parts into the mike and turn the Level up until the ring turns Red then back it off until it stay's Green. 
    If you end up with the level control anywhere past 3 o clock, something is broken.
