Hi guys,

huge newbie question here.

I am trying to record guitar using cubase Le7 and a focusrite scarlett 2i2 interface, but it is not picking up any signal what so ever from my guitar.
It is picking up and working fine for the mic.

The gain is fully up, the inputs are all matched up correctly, the correct driver is seleted. I'm just running out of ideas now and the most frustrating thing is i've recorded guitar with this before and as far as I am aware have set it up exactly how I have before! (even tried 2x leads and 2x guitars.)

Any help would be huuugely appreciated! :)
 
Does the meter work in cubase 7? You said it's not picking up any signal but are you getting sound out of the monitors?

Hit F3 and check out the routing in your mixer.
Maybe you're sending a track to a group that its own outputs don't end up in the master channel.

Also check out the master channel itself.
 
Unless the 1/4 jack part of the input is busted, plugging the guitar in and switching to inst should work. Especially if the mic XLR part works
