I should have mentioned the vu meters in my post, John... sorry. The vu meter input doesn't move... just the output side. I'm using good headphones. I used to record a bit a few years ago with Cakewalk but haven't touched any music until I got BIAB and RB. I just find it strange that it would work in Cakewalk - really good, I might add - and not in RB - with the exact same setup. I know that the sound is getting into the Audigy - I used my headphones to check that out. It just isn't coming out - in RB.
