so Im currently trying to edit a video and I need to hear my microphone audio in order to time stuff properly. however i cant hear my microphone in after effects.

I can hear the gameplay perfectly fine and my microphone audio is able to be heard in preimere pro

Ive already gone through many tutorials on how to fix the issue but none have worked so far

I use NVIDIA Shadowplay to record my audio and I have two seperate tracks in order to adjust my microphone audio independently of the gameplay being recorded

I believe that could be the issue but im not sure.

the audio track doesnt have any waveform at all and the file is visibile in effect just not able to be heard

    There's a pretty good chance this has something to do with your recording format. You might try running it through Media Encoder to see if a different codec gives you more success. 

    Likely, though, this has to do with the channels being used in the recording. (Audio is *not* AE's strong suit.) It might be easiest to just export .wav files of the audio tracks from Premiere, and use those as the audio in AE.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
