It actually should be as simple as what you're expecting...
Let's check out the basics going in to see what the problem might be.

Can you give us a few details?

Are you recording direct in or using a mic (or both)?
If it's a mic, is it a condenser?
Are you assigning the input(s) to the track(s) you are wanting to record onto?
Is the 'Record' button flashing or showing a steady light when you are recording?
Are you seeing movement on ALL the level meters on the screen? (i.e. the INPUT meters (A-B), the MASTER meters (L-R) AND the individual track meters (1-2/3-4/etc)

Other things to check: Headphones not plugged into the footswitch jack, or insuring that you are using the LINE OUT jacks (RCA) and not the FX Return (1/4") to connect to your amp/monitors.

Check out these things and get back to us... Hopefully it's just something simple

.......................hey bro thanks alot.....i just figured it out few hours ago what i had to do was to assign the tracks you want to record on to input 1 or 2.3...damn tascam,.should just keep it simple,lol...i was use too korg..which i feel are good...but now im with tascam...i have only this machine a day im not a huge expert on recording...but im getting to grips with it,...its a nice unit"...now im just looking foward to putting up some music after i record...cheers guys

It looks like everybody has the same problems with this recorder. Assigning is the problem. I had the problem too. You only have to read the manual, it is so easy but it takes time.
