No sound through cakewalk with my usb interface

Recommended Posts

This is probly something super simple, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm using a behringer interface with my edrums. The e drums come through the speakers just fine, and cakewalk recognizes the interface with no issue, but I can't get cakewalk to recognize the sound. Meaning , I can play and hear the drums fine, but there is nothing coming through that channel (meters arnt moving, nothing recording) I've tried everything I can think of, but no luck. I'm sure this is something simple, so any help is appreciated

Does Cakewalk recognise your drums? To check . . . 

Go to Edit > Preferences > MIDI > Devices.

Select your MIDI ports under Inputs.

Select your MIDI ports under Outputs.

1: USB connection.

Is your drum module installed? 

If not, install its driver software. After the module has been configured, connected, and properly installed, you’ll be able to enable it as a MIDI controller and then start recording electronic drums.  

Once the drivers have been installed, the next step is to update Cakewalks  MIDI settings to communicate with your drum module. This means enabling its input and output ports so it can send MIDI data onto a track. You'll be able to then use SI Drums, Addictive drums or any other. 

2: Interface Connection: 

Connect two TRS cables from the Main Outs on your drum module’s back to two inputs of your interface. 

If your interface only has one input, connect a cable from your drum module’s L output to the input on your interface.

Create a Stereo audio track and update the input routing to match the input(s) you’ve connected to your module.

Record-enable the audio track and press record.

I don't think you're understanding what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to record sounds from my drum module onto cakewalk. I'm using the behringer interface to transfer that sound into cakewalk. Cakewalk recognizes the interface and I can hear the drums through my laptop speakers/headphones/monitors, but cakewalk is not sending the sound to the audio track, even though the input and output is correct. The meters on the track show nothing and the track won't record any audio

Read again. There were two ways I used to connect.
