Default A&H ZED R16 no sound going in.

Hi, I'm new here, new to Reaper, and new to using DAW's period. I have been working with Tascam "studio in a box" set ups for a few years and finally built a computer, purchased a Allen and Heath ZED R16 fire-wire mixer and downloaded Reaper. I'm having a few problems though. I have my mixer selected in the preferences on Reaper, and I have my mixer set in the audio options on my computer. BUT I am not getting any signal coming into Reaper from my mixer. I have tested and made sure that it is indeed linked to the computer in its "ZED" driver program. And audio does play through the mixer when I watch a video on youtube. Please help I'm lost and very frustrated at this point....Thank you!

Welcome!

Have you enabled the inputs at the audio device configuration ? Have you armed a track and set it to the appropriate input ?

I'm also using a Zed r16, so i might be able to help you. You have to give me some more information though.

Where/what are you plugging into you mixer?
Are you using the ASIO Driver?
Have you selected channels 1-16 to be usable as channels?
Can you playback audio from reaper? (just drag an mp3 into the reaper screen to check)

I have tried both fire wire ports and I didnt get any sound levels showing when plugged into eather.

Im not really sure, I downloaded the drivers on A&H's site under the R16 and it gave me a "ZED" program with an icon that I can go into and it will show me some info on my mixer and what not.

I am not sure how to select channels. I went into the preferences on Reaper and changed it from 1 to 16. Not sure if that is what you mean or not.

I will try doing play back when I get home.Im on my lunch break at work right now.

Thank you for your help!

I have played with it quite a bit more and Im still getting nothing. I have the mixer selected in the preferences. I have all the current drivers for the mixer uploaded and the mixer is communicating with the computer.
