cool edit pro problems with recording.

[Zen_Frequency]

ive got my mic plugged into the soundcard and its all activated ie: i can hear myself through the pc on the mic.

now, ive got cool edit pro and try as i might i cannot seem to record. when i have it opened into the 4 track session, the top track is my backing music, the one below i am trying to record the vocals onto. when i hit the little red 'r' button, and then hit record on the player at the bottom of the screen, it keeps track with the backing music, but, nothing is being recorded. is there an extra function i am missing out on?

make sure the record routing (one of the two little buttons next to the volume and panning boxes) has the mic in on the soundcard selected on the track you're recording to.

for future reference, you should put cool edit questions in the cool edit forum.
