what do you mean by "losing the signal flow?" you state that you have a MIDI/USB cable connected to the computer, so that's a contradiction of terms. there's no "signal flow" for MIDI, MIDI is data only. if you're trying to record an audio signal from the Alesis, then you won't be using the MIDI/USB cable - you'll need audio cable(s) running from the audio output(s) of the Alesis into the soundcard.
if you're trying to record MIDI, then you'll need a softsynth inserted into the project in order for the MIDI to trigger sounds
if you're trying to record AUDIO, then you'll need audio cables as I mentioned above and you'll need to record that in an AUDIO track instead of a MIDI track.
tell us more about your system (computer, sound card, etc) and exactly what you're trying to record and we'll try to help.
