Recording with computers is not easy and one can become overwhelmed easily trying to deal with getting it all to work.
Because there is so much that could be causing problems and the investment one makes, not only money but with their time, it can get very tuff, frustrating and just a PITA. Not easy to see something right in front of you sometimes.
One has the oppertunity thanks to a very knowledgeable user base to have most any issue resolved. Knowing the right question isn't easy but it sure helps when you have people that understand that and are kind enough to take time not only to find the correct question if need be -but also the answer.
I see you are new so welcome to the Cakewalk forums.
