You don't give any details of what software you are using or what eqpt you have.

1st you must have a full duplex soundcard, most modern ones are but some older ones are only half duplex.

In your software audio setup you will also need to enable the drivers to allow you to directly monitor.

Make sure you are set up to record sound on sound and not in overwrite mode. In Sonar this is accessed through the transport>recording options menu.

Hope that helps

Andy
