I did this one minute video to show the barest, most basic recording of a vocal. I didn't save the audio for the video, but did a voice over. Unfortunately Reaper takes precedent over my screen capture program.

Thank you. Yup. That's exactly what I expected to happen. There's GOT to be a routing issue somewhere, but where.....?

As I mentioned earlier, I can't imagine there'd be any kind of "conflict" between Reaper and PreSonus, if the latter isn't running. Reaper should interact with the Audiobox interface just as PreSonus does.
Now, when I originally installed PreSonus, they did have me download something called "Universal Control" but I use that only for setting block size. Nothing else.

What's the difference between Your "mic 1" setting and "input 1"?

On my laptop I use the Presonus, here are my settings. I use Universal Control.

I don't know how to answer that question. I would say that there is no difference. I would not assume that there's a difference.

And I believe that's what the device prefs look like with Reaper. I will confirm that later today.

Yes, and I stated it looked correct. I only posted as reference.
When you record, and you stop, I assume you save the file? If you do, you should see the file in the track. If you don't save the file, you have no recording. Therefore, if you would record, take a screenshot of the popup to save the file. Then a screenshot of the file in the track.

It's about 6:30 CST here. I'll be back later this morning with a reply. I've got to take care of a little home maintenance problem, first.

DM60 - you said,"When you record, and you stop, I assume you save the file? If you do, you should see the file in the track. If you don't save the file, you have no recording. Therefore, if you would record, take a screenshot of the popup to save the file. Then a screenshot of the file in the track."
Yes, I've been "saving" the file, even though nothing was recorded. But I don't "see any file" in the track. There's nothing there. And "screenshot of the popup?" It just asks if I want to save the file. Nothing more. And "screenshot of the file in the tr:ack?" There's nothing to take a screenshot of.
BUT NOTE: I did think of checking to see if the driver for the Audiobox96 (called "Universal Control") was up to date. It wasn't. And lo and behold, the Audiobox is now listed as a "discontinued" item. Anyway, I updated the driver version, hoping it might be the key to the Reaper recording problem. It wasn't. The driver update didn't change anything.

Frankly, I'm stumped at this point. I've had Reaper work with my interface, a Zoom recorder in interface mode, and using the internal mics on a laptop. Once I get the signal into the input, it just worked. If you're talking into the mic and seeing the meter jump around, the I don't know why it wouldn't record.
I might check the Cockos forum and see if I see anything with the Presonus or anyone who shows the same symptom you have.

The screenshot of the save file popup. I think you are not saving it and then it doesn't show in the track. That is why you are not seeing anything. Even if there is no sound in the file, it should show a track was recorded. That is why I think you are doing something wrong.
If you can show the popup, save the file, then show the track. There should be something there, even if it is silent. It is not your interface, I am like 99.9% sure, I think there is a user error somewhere.

One last thing that I can think of, In WIndows settings, look to see what apps can access the microphone. Its in the sound/ privacy settings. Reaper needs to be in there.

OK guys....I went through the Windows apps settings and I'm attaching several screenshots for your reference.

I also wanted to show you this shot. In Track 2 there was this little grey area, only a second or two long. I did not know what it represents, but I saw that I could click and drag it, so I did, for the length of the song in Track 1. I wondered if it represented the "brackets" in PreSonus, for when you set up an automated mic-on. But, I tried recording again and still nothing happened. So, what does that grey area in the track represent, anyway?
