Hi all! I'm using an M-Audio Keystation 88 ES 88-Key MIDI Controller. To my knowledge, I followed the instructions given by the CakeTalking tutorial on making it's volume slider control the volume slider in Sonar, but when I arm the volume of the track I'm on, and press control+R to go into automated recording, it doesn't seem to record my shapes when I fiddle with it. I can hear the volume go up and down when I hear the music, but I don't hear it work by itself when I play it back. I also tried to follow the instructions to add a control surface, thinking it might solve the problem, but my type of key station, which is identified as an "audio device" isn't there. So I'm confused; what else should I try? (I'm using outdated software, including Sonar Pro and CakeTalking 4, but I don't want to upgrade until I make a profit. I hope that's okay in this situation.)
