Danie:

No peaks doesn't mean there are actually no peaks but that the general 
level is too low for the peaks to show, or that the signal is completely 
masked by noise. You don't want any of these situations.

You should record at a higher gain level (do experiment!)

Yo should see an envelope profile like a succession of hills and 
valleys. The general height of the hills should reach about half the 
upper limit. ¿Then if it turns out to be too loud in the mix, just use 
the gain slider at the left turning down up to 36 dB (usually you'll 
never need more attenuation than that if you want the track to be heard 
at all)
