SONAR has two modes that govern how fader levels function: Envelope Mode and

Make sure that the input for the track you are

properly.
Double-click on the speaker icon in the
Windows task bar to display the mixer. Choose
Options-Properties, select Adjust Volume for
Recording, and click OK. Make sure the
appropriate Select boxes have checkmarks
and the input volume is turned up.
Your sound card isn’t hooked up
correctly.
Try recording audio using the Microsoft Sound
Recorder (Start-Programs-Accessories-
Multimedia-Sound Recorder). If it fails, check
your sound card documentation to make sure it
is properly installed and configured.
You have not set up SONAR to
record.
Make sure that 1) you have chosen an input for
the track; 2) you have armed the track for
recording; and 3) you have pressed the Record
button, and not the Play button.
