Thank you, everybody. I will look into all of this.

Yes there's lots of ways to do that,  I'm just assuming the OP has diddly squat for audio gear,  but as I said... the latency would make all this pointless. Much better to just share the project like everyone else does. I think it can be done but it would involve very low latency audio devices and A/D - D/A 

What if I use one input from my computer to receive a zoom call of the two of us? they will have a microphone hooked up to their computer for better sound quality.

This has nothing to do with Cakewalk. What your asking is more to do with the capture of live streaming audio by your sound card. The problem is this audio is from the output of the system and you need an input. Cakewalk can record inputs but not output unless it is looped back somehow 

My Motu M4 has loop back so I could do this but it’s rare an on board sound card would have this option 

The other issue is the latency will be unusable even if you got it to work. 
Your playback will take about 20 ms to get to your friends house and then their voice will take another 20 ms to return not to mention the real bad fidelity. 
Best to just use a cloud storage to share the project on line. Cakewalk is free so you can have identical set ups 

This would not be an input and an output.

This would be 2 inputs, one from my microphone plugged into my computer, then the 2nd input would come from the remote location.

I would like to import the feed of my friend's microphone from long distance, and record ourselves on Cakewalk. One channel would be me with my microphone, and the other channel would be them with their microphone plugged into a computer - as would mine, and we would both be on Wi-Fi.

Does Cakewalk have this capability?

Can we view each track's equalizer levels as we play back to help adjust bandwidth levels?

Can we monitor our FX of choice in our tracks before recording?

I thought it would be that easy, but it is enabled.  It just won't recognize anything plugged into it from an outside source that's meant to be read into the computer.  Only outward, like a headphone.  Yet it calls itself a headset microphone.

I ordered the cable I mentioned that I will plug into my Focusrite instead, which ought to solve the problem.

I have a Focusrite 2i2, I will need a stero jack male to XLR male..... yeah

I think this is an issue with my Realtek Driver.

Any time I plug a stereo jack into my Headset/Microphone Dual jack in my computer, my Sound Control Panel does not recognize that a microphone is plugged in.  I've tried this with different stereo cables, different microphones, etc.  No avail.

My current audio driver is Realtek version 6.0.8821.1
