Default Can\'t see the waveform of a direct-in guitar signal?

I am recording the direct-in signal from a guitar to a track in ProTools. I go through a standard BSS Audio D.I./Line Balancer box made for this purpose. It converts from high impedence to low impedance, so the signal can be fed to the 192 I/O.

On the track Peak Indicator the maximum signal is -4, which is higher than most of my other tracks. When I play the track with Amp Farm inserted on the track, it plays back fine.

Everything seems to work fine........except, I can't see the waveform for the track. Even when I expand the waveforms until the waveforms on all my other tracks are off scale, I still see only an occasional little bump; otherwise, straight line, like there's nothing recorded in the track.

Why can't I see this waveform? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
Thanks,
Mike
