Thank you, I'm glad to part of Sonar. I have Sonar Artist. I will probably upgrade, but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing. It's been ten years since I last touched Sonar. I'm pretty sure I have everything hooked up. I've followed the YouTube vids about setting up the audio and I'm still not getting anything. I also got my midi working for a brief moment, but I wasn't able to change from the piano sound.

Is it a Condenser mic? If so, you will need to engage Phantom Power on your Fast Track mic input.
If it is not, and you have engaged Phantom Power, you might have fried your mic. Hope that is not the case.
All the best.

Go to the basics and make sure that:
1- check it out if The Audio Interface its showing up in sonar device list (Press P to see preferences)
3- select the most compatible Driver mode and driver settings for your set up.."i totally recomen ASIO Mode"
if you sound card does't support Asio get ASIO4 ALL... its free!
4- once you are sure that audio interface its fine , arm an audio track and dont forget to select the apropiate Input from your device, then try to record something
5-check it out if you Audio interface set up its correct, cables, Phantom power, Input levels, sample rate, routing etc
6- Make sure Usb devices like Keyboards controllers etc.. are showing up in the Midi imput list. them insert a Vst instrument and select the appropriate input from that device.
This is like a basic check list procedure...

You may need to slide the latency slider in ASIO for all (if you are using it) make sure you have check marked your outputs and inputs in ASIO for all (if you are using it) If you have other sound devices disable them (windows device manager) to simplify things. Also set ASIO for use in the cakewalk edit => preferences => playback and recording => driver mode, properties dialog box. restart cakewalk check your audio track inputs
