Newbie Question

Hello there, I have just started not only using Cakewalk Music Creator but also in recording from my home computer. While I have figured out a few things with Music Creator I am still quite lost in how to edit my tracks. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start for a complete newbie to recording as well as Music Creator 6? Thanks!

By the way, I've gone through some of the videos and find all of them unhelpful. The documentation is only slightly better.

Hi and welcome to the forum
You'll find that Music Creator, like any worthwhile endeavor, has a learning curve associated with it. The tutorial videos are your best starting point to begin your climb.
The Music Creator program is fully capable of doing what you want to do---but it is so much more than that. Anyone here could tell you exactly how to do what you are attempting to do, but----the best way, is for you to do the homework associated with the program---it's part of the reward you get.
Then, when you get into the program, you can come back with specific questions, and you'll find many people here with probably many different solutions to your questions.
Also, it's helpful when you post if you tell us all about your set-up---what computer, MC version, sound card, audio interface,microphone, keyboard, etc.         
Good luck and much patience to you-------Keith

I have always found the tutorials to be helpful.  Use the pause and rewind with them. Have the DAW open and then go to the DAW and do what they just did in the tutorial. Probably 80% of the stuff you need, maybe more, is in the toots.
 
If you hit a road block, by all means come here and ask a question. Make it as specific as possible and include as much detail as you can so we have some clue as to what answer you are seeking.
 
To edit a wave and make it one..... basically, you will find the cut point where you want to start the edit to remove something.....be sure to select that specific track, then,  click at that point, right click and select SPLIT from the drop down menu. Click OK. now move along the time line to where you want the end of the clip to be. repeat the split process.  You now have a new clip in the track.  Right click on that clip and it will change color and the track material in the clips around it should NOT change color. Select DELETE from the drop down, click OK. Now, left click the clip to the right and drag it over to match up with the clip on the left.
 
Making the match up easier is probably best accomplished by setting the snap to grid setting default BEFORE you do the splits. This allows MC to split at the exact point it needs to, and then when you drag the clips together, they will match perfectly with zero gap or overlap. Gaps and overlap can cause audible clicks and pops where they occur.
You can also use envelopes to ease the edits in and out gently.
 
Hope that was what you were needing.
