Hi Jim: You need to select your ins from within Sonar, according to the type of professional audio card you are using to input audio into your project because it is routed directly to your mixer. For example: inputs Right Delta in 1/2 or inputs left Delta 3/4 etc. Hopes this helps, Robert. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Wicketts To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 4:30 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Recording issues Hi Jim, no nothing about tascam, however, are there only to XLR inputs because you may need to select right acio fw for the second microphone as it's in the second XLR Socket.

No prob with this one, I can both hear the audio and can monitor the peak levels. The second audio track is vocal mic 2, Input set to left acio fw-1884analog3, the cable from the mic is plugged in to the next slr slot. I can hear the audio from the mic but the peak meters are not changing, I go in to record and get nothing. BTW, on both tracks the output is set to master. What am I doing? Jimmy
