No input

[Roman1967]

I used to use Sonar based on a CD many many years ago so I am not a complete beginner, but today  I decided to give it a go and use some multitrack software and make some music. Of course, immediately a big issue came up. No input. I want to set the input to use audio from files on my PC and later add audio tracks using my microphone. But first I need the input from the very computer I am using sonar with. Could you help me? I am using windows 11 and am pretty simpleminded  when it comes to computers and software.

I have already found the solution but I am sure I will have more questions later.

For anyone else who stumbles upon this thread, if all you're doing is importing files, you don't need an input.

Of course, you will if you later want to record audio along with those files.

And hopefully using an Audio Interface!

And even more hopefully, one that is equipped with native ASIO drivers and not some $50 piece of junk
