Hi Rick. Welcome to Cakewalk and the Coffee House.
You would be best posting your question in the Cakewalk by Bandlab forum. There are sensible, helpful folk there who will walk you through your problem. The Coffee House is populated by men in their dotage with a becan (bacon) fixation.
If you got sound one day and not the next, then you don't need any further equipment. My "studio" consists of an ancient laptop and a pair of headphones. That's all that's needed.
