I mean, you first need a good clean strong warm signal. If the mini mbox gives you this then ok. but if your signal is weak or not great, plugins won't help. But first give it a try.

If your cords are new and you can record other instruments with the same equipment, then I think the aforementioned factors seem to be the only other possible problems in your sound chain apart from the mic itself. If everything else works, did anything happen to the mic? did it take a bad fall or was it submitted to very high/low temperatures or to a very damp environment? Condenser microphones are said to be very fragile as far as I know, so a lot of possible reasons might explain it failing you...
