Sorry for the simple question, but hey, we all need the simple ones in between the super hard ones - right?

I am brand new to computer-based recording (although I used a Roland VS880EX workstations years ago). I recently purchased a M-Audio Fast Track Pro, which came with ProTool Essentials M-Powered 8.

I plug in a single USB to power the interface, and a single instrument into the input. I open PT, and start a new track (for instrument). I open the mixer and specify the input as interface. There is my signal jumping up. I hit REC on the mixer channel, and REC on the Transporter. I then hit PLAY to start recording, but it never seems to record. I am just starting, but I cant seem to even get to the basics : )

Thanks for your help.

you need to arm the track you want to record first (the dark red button with white circle, next to solo and mute) ;)
 
Thanks - I was setting up an INSTURMENT track instead of an AUDIO track (which I needed)

: )
