Re:How to set up Cakewalk/ Soundcard to record audio from the audio input on my soundcard

Welcome to the forum.
First, go to the M-Audio website and download and install the latest drivers for your operating system if you haven't done that already.
Go to Options>Audio at the top and change the Driver Mode to ASIO.
You may have to close and re-open SONAR after the change for it to take effect.
Once that's done, go into Options>Audio again and make sure that your 24/96 is listed as both Recording and Playback Timing Masters. Under the Drivers tab, select the M-Audio's drivers and deselect anything else.
In an audio track, set the input to whatever you have your audio source connected to.
Click the record button in the track to see if you're getting a signal.
You may need a mixer or other pre-amp if you're using microphones. Connect the mics to the mixer/pre-amp and the mixer's outputs to the M-Audio.
Browsers other than Internet Explorer often don't work well with this forum's software. If you have IE's zoom level at anything other than 100%, many of the icons for Insert Image, Smileys, etc won't show.

if you're wanting to hear what you're recording through cakewalk while you're recording it, then click on the INPUT ECHO button.

I don't specifically see an INPUT ECHO button on your screen shots and that looks like a very old version of cakewalk - what version is it exactly?

yep - I see that in the top post now. guess my eyes are getting old.
anyway - it's an old program and I don't have it - I didn't start using cakewalk until SHS4. but in order to hear what you're recording while you're recording it, you have to use INPUT ECHO. I don't know where to find that option in HS2004.

I see now that you've already done the things I described above.  So, you're not getting any reading on the record meters? Try changing the Windows record options to Delta AP 1/2 instead of multi. Is the webcam off? What is the audio source you want to record?

Well, I'm embarrassed. I got it working. I had the hardware connected wrong. I really appreciate everyone's input.

Thanks for coming back to tell us. We all make mistakes like that, but knowing how things were wrong and how they were solved is usefull to anyone trying to help.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

Totally!
Thanks Matt for coming back and letting us know. You are DEFINITELY in the minority. It's so friggin annoying when you follow a thread, help someone out and really give a lot of input and then the person just all of a sudden disappears! It happens ALL THE TIME. I'll say it's like 80/20, with the 80% being the ones who just disappear and don't bother to come back and let us know what the fix was. It truly doesn't matter what the solution turns out to be, just the fact that it gets resolved is what we all want to know. I wouldn't care if you stuck your finger in a light socket and touched the other hand to your computer screen and that's what did it. JUST TELL US! That way when the next person comes mosying along with the same issue... BAM- there's the solution. Anyhoo- I'm sure you get my drift
Thanks Matt!
