Just for fun, why not try highlighting the whole track, right-clicking, and select Audio Effects, Gain Change, and select normalize. It is possible that the input levels were too low and so you don't see a wav form on the track. I've had this happen to me before.

If that's the case, then you'll need to adjust input levels.

Also, I don't know about your FastTrack, but on my FastTrack Pro, there is a knob to switch between monitoring what's coming through the FastTrack inputs and what's coming from the Computer to the FastTrack. Setting this knob too far in one direction can make it appear that nothing is recording, as well.

Just a thought.


Thanks for those suggestions. My FastTrack is an old model. It has a Mix dial allowing the ratio of input to output signal to be heard. I get indications of input on the VU meter. After tweaking this dial a bit I got a take in which I could hear the input and the output on playback. I don't remember what I did to achieve it, and now I can't replicate. In all cases but that one, the track output visually is a solid line with no waveform.
