Ok, I have read the manual several many times, and I know my comprehension is not the greatest.

1. Click on the downward arrow (icon) to get the drop menu
displaying the six possible record sources.
2. Select the desired source and press the record icon to start
recording.
3. The record icon flashes while recording and the display shows
the elapsed recording time.
4. Press the record icon again to stop the recording.
5. To save the recording, type in a name for the recording and
click the save icon.
6. The recording is automatically placed in a crate named
“RECORDED”. If the crate does not already exist, it will be
created automatically.
7. To start a new recording without saving, simply click the
record button again.

I am using 1.8.0 on a MacBook Pro. I do this to the tee and no recording to be found. What am I doing wrong? It's driving me nuts. Also, I do see a Recorded folder but no aiff files to be found.

thanks for the help,
