...And one step back

Well, that didn't take long.
So far, I have not been able to figure out how to use the audio interface I have to hook my instruments up to my computer. I did what I thought made sense, tried some test recordings, and no sound went through to either of the recording programs I tried. I don't know whether it's a hardware issue, or something like some simple option isn't ticked in the program settings. But the net result is, I can't record. I won't lie and say that I've put in a ton of time into trying to figure this problem out, but I have taken about as much time as I feel I'm able to. It takes so much for me to get motivated about doing something, and takes so frustratingly little to kill that motivation.
I don't really think I'm going to be able to get this sorted out until I can get one of my more tech-knowledgeable friends here to show me what I'm doing wrong, but that probably isn't going to happen until after we're no longer living in Covidland, so... probably no FAWM this year after all. I shouldn't have opened my mouth until I knew I was going to be able to participate, but during those oh-so-brief moments when my motivation exists, I tend to get excited, and I can't help but share my hopes.
Which usually ends up biting me in the ass when they get shot down lol.

Sometimes what works for me is to back the hardware all the way out back to the box, then start over, checking off each installation step with a pencil on the manual as it is completed. Checking all the footnotes carefully.
