hi sounds,
welcome...
have you got a device set to receive your notes ? For example, if you have midi track 3 and you play some notes from your pc keyboard, you should have the red arm button on. This will allow you to see midi input on that track's meter. But it won't make a noise until you put a drum module or a synth or sampler in that track. Click on the track name, go to the live browser and click-drag a simpler into the bottom of the empty clip view window. You need to load a preset and then you should hear some noise.
