hi there,
what did you do exactly, when the recording failed ? let's start from scratch :
i simply have to 1.)drag & drop the presence instrument into the track-window, 2.) find a bass-sound, 3.) activate the recording/solo/listen buttons and then 4.) start recording by klicking on the record button at the bottom.
take a look at the picture and try it exactly like this, good luck a.t.m.
greetings
