First time posting from a newbie. I just downloaded Cakewalk recently and have been watching youtube tutorials. I have been trying to figure out how to get the drums to work. I follow the tutorial and click and drag the drum kit to the left, which opens a midi track. I open the kit, and can play the preset samples - I can both hear them and see them registering on the sound meter on the track. I dragged pre set clips into the timeline / track - I can see them there. However, when I play the track, there is no sound and nothing registering on the sound meter either.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, and am frustrated that it's not working. I am sure it must be something simple(although nothing really seems simple in Cakewalk!). I would appreciate any help. This problem isn't happening when I record and playback guitar.
