A Little Help Recording With Roland Quad Capture

Hidy, ya'll (how's that for ingratiating Southernese?).

I have some love tracks from a gig, 8 channels in Sonar X1. I wanted to sweeten with some extra guitar, so I plugged in the QuadCapture, created a new audio track, set the input to Left QuadCapture 3-4, Master is set to Stereo QuadCapture 1-2 (actually, X1 pretty much set that all up for me).

I arm the new audio track and strum. The QC shows plenty of signal, and I can hear all the other tracks when I playback, but X1 shows nothing in the meters for the armed track: no signal to record. I can hear the guitar clear as a bell in the headphones from the QC, just nothing into X1.

I did the usual things does when one has no idea what to do: exit X1 and restart. No change. Even created a new project with only the one input, but no signal.

Any ideas? Thanks

And if that IS the issue just plugging into input 1 (which I imagine is a multi jack which can handle a straight guitar signal) will likely fix the problem without messing with settings. Also you probably want a mono track, not a stereo track to record it unless you are running multiple inputs. But this is assuming you've never done this before at all and I'm completely misinterpreting the question. If so I apologize.

Well, I'm afraid all this advice was to no avail. I've done recording straight into X1 from the QC before, but do not know what has come unglued. For this exercise, I'm just gonna copy all the tracks back on my Zoom R16 and add the sweetening there. 

I need to solve the problem, but I'll sidestep it for the moment.

Thanks for the input. I'll post if I discover the (undoubtedly cockpit) error.

Have you got Sonar's input monitoring on to see if a level is coming in. If you can't see anything then it's definitely a routing problem. Does the QC have a software mixer? Is that set up correctly? Have you definitely got the right input on the QC corresponding with the track input?

Set the input of the track to 2 Left and plug the Guitar into CH 2 on th QC.

Where is the audio track output going?  Is it set to go to Master, or None?
If none to none, set it to Master and set the master output track to main Output 1/2.

If your audio inputs and outputs are labled 1 Right and 2 Left then you your will use QC channel 1 for right and Channel 2 for left.

CH1 = Right
CH2 = Left 

CH3 = Right
CH4= Left

..., and so on (or maybe it's the other way around...LOL

Peace
