Render not working

I have rendered
before. Watched video, looked at all 6 instances of ‘render in place’ in the manual and don’t know what the problem is.

I have the instrument track playing the TD50 drum module. It sounds, but no fader activity. However if I create an audio channel with the input as the TD50, it shows activity while playing that the instrument track doesn’t, as in the picture. But when this instrument track is soloed and no events are selected and render in place is chosen. nothing happens.

This just wears me down. After leaving the Window, there was no cubase window. I clicked on the icon and it wouldn’t open. Used task manager to close and then was able to open and now the instrument track played with no sound. I went to look at the mixer window and that was gone. I reenabled UC and got the mixer back and the intrument track still had no sound. I went over the inputs, external instruments until I got it sounding again, and now it’s channel did show activity. Set up to render, as before and still won’t. I should have recorded on the audio track below when I had the chance, as now that has no signal when set to record as before. Opposite of before.

Finally, couldn’t render but recorded the old way as the midi played.
