I'm just starting to use this, and I'm slowly but surely figuring it out, but sometimes I wanna smash my laptop off the wall. I remember the good old days with tape recorders and if you pressed record, guess what it did? It started recording then and there. With Cakewalk, nothing happens, at least not for me. Why do I have to go to preferences and be confronted with all sorts of terminology I have no clue about? When I hit play, I want it to play, when I hit stop, I want it to stop, when I hit record, I want it to record. So, to get around this I used the piano role thing and clicked on a note I wanted to play. Some sort of progress at last! I right clicked the note to copy it, and it just deleted it instead. So I figured out that I have to press 'edit', 'copy' and then 'paste', but instead of doing any of those things, it simply moved the note left a few spaces, turned it white (whatever that means) and put that green loop thingy on that one note (that I can't seem to get rid of now)? Why would it do that? Maybe I'm not intelligent or patient enough, but I feel that it's more complex than it needs to be.
