The flat green line

OS: Windows 10 (Version 1803 -- OS Build 17134.648); Settings/Bluetooth & other devices/Audio="FocusRiteUSB"
            ** Latest FocusRite USB ASIO downlaod installed

MixPad: Options/General/Audio Playback="[ASIO] FocusRite USB ASIO" --  Track/Options="[ASIO] FocusRite USB ASIO"/Mono

As I strike keys on keyboard a flat green line indicating no sound being recorded moves across track.

What am I missing?

Hi Parker,

The first thing to check is that the gain on your focusrite is turned up. The small backlit ring around the gain knob should illuminate when it is receiving a signal from the keyboard.

The second thing would be to check the output volume of the keyboard.

The third thing is to go back to the track options and check which input channel you are recording from. You currently have it set to [ASIO] FocusRite USB ASIO / Mono which is correct, but you also need to tell it which input channel - in this case I think the FocusRite Solo designates the instrument jack as Input 2.

Regards,

Ben
