Can't play live through Cakewalk

Hi, total novice to computer midi recording and struggling! I have downloaded Cakewalk and LABS by Spitfire and Absynth. I can get them to play the midi of prerecorded midifiles but I can't play either instrument "live" via my midi keybpoard. The midi keyboard is plugged in OK because it does play the absynth when I play absynth direct- not thru the cakewalk. Any idea what I have done wrong?

To monitor through the DAW make sure the input echo button is enabled on the track(s) receiving data from the MIDI controller (or instrument/microphone in the case of audio tracks).

This button is to the right of the record button on each track.

I am clicking in a track that already has a midi instrument and can play it when it is pre-recorded ( I downloaded a Sati midi track as a demo) I can change the track to play my new Virtual instrument which is Spitfire LABS, but I can't get in there to play my own notes. If you have any more thoughts I would welcome them, meanwhile I will start doing my homework on the tutorials.

Regards, D
