The only thing that annoys me is the tool tips on each lane.  The + and X buttons have tooltips that read "+" and "X" respectively.  No indication other than assuming you know that + means "add another lane" and X means "delete this lane".   It'd be nice if +'s tooltip was "add new lane" and X's was "delete this lane".

You'll prolly learn that fast enough, won't you?

indeed I did, just trying to think of the n00bz

compensating for my earlier miscues....

snicker: Im sticking with Composting !! haha

I was a musician first then I got into recording. 
I was quite confused about the recording term comping when I ran into here.
To me it was more like the Wikipedia definition:
Comping (an abbreviation of accompanying) is a term used in jazz music to describe the chords, rhythms, and countermelodies that keyboard players (piano or organ) or guitar players use to support a jazz musician's improvised solo or melody lines. The term is also used for the action of accompanying, and for left hand part of a solo pianist.[2]

im going to do something no one has and go out on a limb and possibly jeoperdize my level of professionality and say,i still have no idea what it means.
i have plenty other words to describe what your saying or this thing you call..."how do you say"-comp-in ?...com-pain..
com-pain in the buttocks.

i usualy call it making my client look like a hero.
or editing.

nice thread mike.
i can say those are things i like about your threads.i always find it interesting.

Yes. You never know for sure how some expressions are used. We had an interesting, short debate two years ago
here when I noticed some forum members moved from the end of the project  to the beginning, to the left, and said they're moving forward. And several native english speakers confirmed that's the way it should be:  going back to the start is going forward!

I play jazz and that's a common term. I've never heard it used in the context suggested by others. The only other time I've heard it used is short for "complimentary" as in sometimes when you gig they might "comp" you a meal or drink - on the house you might say.
Some use it as short for compressing as well.

Thank you to everyone for adding their perspective and comments to the thread.
