How do I record from a CD?

Simple problem (I hope).
I'm using Wavelab Lite and getting no signal. (Naturally this all worked fine before installing the kx driver, and I'm sure it'll be fine again when I understand all this...

)
What controls do I select on which pages on the kx mixer? What needs to be on, off or up? I've tried various permutations to no effect.
I've set the Wavelab sample rate to 48 KHz - is this right?

(I have Win2K and an SBLive card, if this makes a difference.)

don't use a wave recorder unless you have the audio cable connected between the soundcard and the cd drive

just use a ripping program like wmp, nero, or cdex to rip files

Thanks Chris.
I realise I can rip CDs (and often do), but I used to be able to record wavs in real time (so the physical connections must be present) - and I found this useful. Often I only want a small part of a track (for transcribing, etc), and it's a more immediate, transparent (to me :-)) way of doing it than running the ripping software and then re-opening the wav file in Wavelab or Transcribe.
This isn't a big problem, IOW - I can change my habits - but I'm still trying to get to grips with the kx interface - which I imagine will be hugely useful when I understand it.
