I can't for the life of me get any sound on any VST instrument on Tracktion 4 for Mac
What am I doing wrong.

Here is the screen shot of my main page.

Is it something to do with what you have selected for Midi In? Your input arrow has "internal" on it; not sure what that is. Is it a Midi input, or something else?

Here is an image with me using my Akai MPK Mini. You can see that the meter is reading an input but still no sound.

Hi,
may be stupid question but do you have the right output selected as default? try selecting your actual output of the audio card if it shows and if i'm talking out me bum, can you post a screenshot of your settings tab and audio devices highlighted

1. Try arming that track to record. I have a different interface but I cannot monitor incoming signal unless the track is armed for recording. ("R" is lit).

2. Make sure your e to e button is lit in the transport section. If it is, then clik it off and then on again.

3. What device is being used to play back? Go to the Settings tab and check to see what your default audio device is.

4. The vst is not passing signal; when you open the GUI of the vst does it show signal reaching it?

Finally figured out. It wasn't detecting my audio out channels for some reason.

Maybe because the track was "Muted"?

Then the M and S would have a cross through them.
