Well, after about 4 stressful hours I managed to wire it up, and also go through one of the tutorials....you're right, it's a hard program to use! I remember when I first got Reason, after a few hours of just messing around I worked out where everything was and managed to throw a few sounds together, but with Cubase it seems you need to do everything step by step with a manual...will be having many late nights at this rate! I know once I get the hang of it my track will sound a lot better, but I'm really worried....will I ever get to grips with it?
