I am using an alesis multimix8usb mixer with 1 mircophone and earphones. Everything appears to be well and appropriately connected to my computer through a USB port which the computer is recognizing.

When I open a new file in sony sound forge audio studio 7.0b and go to record, the RED recording light is blinking as it should, the 2 green bars are appropriately moving, the recording time is progressing nicely, the sound is coming through my earphones accurately, BUT

when I close the recording window and go to the file window, there is no sound wave form! and if I press play in audio studio, there is no replay.

N.B. I have recorded successfully before with another microphone (but without the mixing board) and everything works properly. I am also able to retreive those files and listen to them through my mixing board headphones as well as the computer speakers.

I have worked with gateway and they say its the software,

I have worked with alesis multimix people and they say it's the software.

Help!

Thanks

Tim

First, double check the file properties. See where the files are going to. It's possible that the files may be going to a different location. Second, If they are not appearing then hit refresh located under "view". Sometimes the files won't appear for me until I do that.
