Where is the file "Music_Creator_Demo.cwp". As you can guess I'm new.  So far I do not like this Music Creator 5 software.
However I was impressed with the remarks made after the  offensive remarks I made about this software. 
The answers made by you folks were very nice. You could have blasted me, but you didn't and that shows that you have made this trip down this road and understand quite well where new folks are, in trying to understand this software. Thanks are in order to you all.    

I can agree that the ads are a little exagerrated, but I was in fact making music within 30 minutes of installing MC 2003 way back in 2002. Then came hardware issues...
I did have a little recording experience using tape, but a lot of the terminology used in MC and other DAWs was alien to me. Took some reading and asking questions here to understand (most of) it.
Plus, I was a new computer user back then which really could have hampered my understanding of MC. Fortunately, my brother is a computer programmer and helped a lot. He even bought Home Studio 4 not long after I got MC.
So, ask if you need to know something.
We seldom give the RTFM response, although RTFM will help you immensely.

I agree. read the manual, try to work through some AUDIO demo's first, and remember that there is a learning curve with this hobby, the length of which is determined by you.

It took me almost 2 weeks to get the audio working (hardware and software settings issues) and get a handle on just the most basic stuff. Now, after 3 years, I can easily record stuff, bit I still have not worked through ALL the things in this simple MC4 DAW..... there are things I have never used, and in some cases, was not even aware that MC4 did or had that function.

It's a continual process of learning and experimenting. Some of the best things I have learned were learned as a result of an experiment. (Wonder what will happen if I do this" sort of thing.

I think for the first two or three months after getting started, I did not really try to record a song. I simply played around, trying things, seeing how it all worked, and becoming familiar with the whole process. Even today, when I buy a new audio FX or a new synth, I will stop working on my projects and spend a few days or so becoming acquainted with the features in the new "toy" so that I know how it works and then I will use it in a project.


So... cast off the bow lines, unfurl the sails, feel the wind and the sea mist in your face........ uhhhhh wait....better yet, just turn on the DAW, have the manual handy, and work through some things..... come here and ask questions if you get stumped...at least with the music you won't get sea sick.
