What OS are you using? Make sure you check your computers recording properties, since it sounds like you can only record from one source at a time. (ie, Mic., CD, Line In.) Make sure your have the correct recording source selected. Digital Mixer, or Line In.

I hope that helps ya.

Yes, Welcome.

One way to record all audio ins and out is actually to record the Digital Out or Wave Out since all audio is routed directely to those outputs.
But notice that with half duplex, (full even) the quality can decrease a bit. (Not if you have digital out though)

You migth want to record each part one at a time and use a program like Saw-Plus 32 to mix it all together.
