I initially downloaded audacity to make some soundtracks, and get feedback on my guitar, as well as try to learn how to put music together. I could record with the settings as they were and things were fine for a bit. Then I figured I should try to get a drum beat, so I downloaded Hydrogen to create a drum beat, only to realize I can't get the drum beat to hydrogen to enter into Audacity. After an hour or so of searching, I came upon these instructions;

I used the instructions for Linux, (ALSA, obviously) and it worked. Then I tried to put some guitar over the drum tracks and it wouldn't record the guitar. So I tried to open a fresh Audacity and then record my guitar and it failed again. I set the settings back to what I remember them being, and tried again, and still no luck (I was using OSS when recording with guitar, so I figured when I returned to OSS the ALSA settings wouldn't bother it). I've played with the ALSA settings a little bit, based off what that tutorial's told me, and I've gotten no where. Can anyone help?
