Assume this is NOT your problem, but just in case......  Make sure you don't have Punch-in enabled and a selection active OUTSIDE where you think you are recording.  If so, you will get nothing recorded at all.  I have lost some nice takes do to this simple error, i.e. forget to turn OFF punch-in after fixing something on a previous take.

There are two issues

1) if the wave does not get drawn, but the audio is theree on playback, then empty Picture Cache folder

2) If the wave dissapears and there is no recording upon playback

    a) You may have autopunch enabled in Record dialogue box, it will only record between thr punch in and out point. Therefore disable auto punch

    b) You armed the track and hit play instead of record, or hit record record on another track where what you were recording wasn't routed too.

Neither a) nor b) account for the fact that the OP sees the waveform preview (and I assume in the correct track and time range) while recording.   

yas Lanceindastudio you nailed it bro.. i did think it was me  and as crazy as it sounds if it does it alot whit it somtimes does when i hit stop i i use the keybord and hit the r and space at the same time i think that its stoping the project at the sametime as  stoping recording. so iv been hitting the r and space at same time when finished and not just stoping instantly after recording track its like it dont have a chance to evaperate and yea its the sound and the wave both are gone it was making me crazy on every perfect vocal i was like nice and then look down and theres nothing si try this Lanceindastudio and let me know if it works or if you find a more realistic workaround thanks all for the input,and i hope this helps someone out there

Sickvision, I don't understand the last response you gave. The link to yas???
I have the same problem, and getting crazy of it. It happens in X1 and X2 but not in 8.5.1 For the moment I do recording in 8.5.1 and then work further on in X2 after recording. I did all the suggestions on the forum without result.
So can you please explain to me what you mean in your last post?

I doubt Sickvision got your message, the icon to the right of the member name indicates the member was banned.

Thanks Scook, could it maybe be because of his sick vision???
Still have my problem with (non-)recording, unfortunately.
