Shot in the dark, but I bet you are trying to record to an INSTRUMENT track? Use an AUDIO track. Instrument tracks are for VI's(aka Virtual Instruments or plugin instruments). Common newbie mistake. Spend some free time on youtube watching tutorial videos for almost anything you can think to search for(just search for "pro tools, how do I______", but without eh quotes)

You use an *audio* track, not an *instrument* track.
