Sam, what exactly did you get it with ? as it ships with a number of things..

but if you want to record from an external source say a keyboard or as Kate uses her's you'd need audio cable of some sort..depending on the connectors on your interface and the unit your using.. maybe a Y-cable 3.5 mini jack / 2 x phono to 2x 1/4" jack etc.

if your using say a midi keyboard etc. you'll need midi cables maybe IF it hasn't got USB support.. and in > out.. and out > in.

SONAR 6 LE comes bundled with the new UA-1G. I'm using both at home to record my vinyl albums to digital format. Sam, what's in your signal chain? I've plugged in the UA-1G to my USB port on the computer. I'm running stereo out from my turntable to stereo in on the UA-1G, stereo out of the UA-1G to my speakers. There's a neat diagram on the back of the UA-1G. There might be one on your product?

As for SONAR LE, looks a bit confusing at first glance. Check out these videos for help on setting up your hardware and start recording:

Watch how he sets up his device within SONAR to record & playback (within the first minute): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcAtPmLtRns

Here's another to show you how to setup a project within SONAR and start recording MIDI & audio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2UI1daUNvU

Hope this helps!

Scott's sonar Power books. But all these books are geared for Sonar Producer and studio, not sonar Le (limited Edition).
Sonar LE is a limited edition that is free with bundled software. It doesn't contain all the features of Sonar producer/studio or home studio

have a look on the disk for a PDF manual and also there is tutorial files included. If you go to the help bit , they might be listed under that.

think of sonar like a multi-track tape deck.. but with unlimited tracks..thing is you might see if you can get a book about sonar from the library..

what did you get sonar LE with BTW?

I'm utterly new to this recording stuff and need a little help.

Would anyone know of a good, easy-to-understand video on how to get started with Cakewalk, Sonar 6 LE?

This old guitar-picken guy needs something that a grade 3 would understand! ;-)

Many thanks.
