no Make a Recording button

[tgroft]

Hi, just looking for a little help.
JamKazam approved my audio setup, everything seems to be working.  I want to record myself with a backing track.  I can record myself alone (not within a session) and it plays back ok.  However, the tutorials show a Make A Recording button when one initiates a session.  My screen is blank where there is supposed to be the Make a Recording button.  Can anyone tell me why that might be?

Thanks so much!
