it's not too hard really .. once you have your mic setup basically choose a track (say track 1)

and click the R button there should be red ... next to the green mute button and the s solo button .. then you just press record and your away ....

if you want to use one of the many backing tracks you seem to have just go into the insert menu and click "Insert wav from file " then you can choose any mp3/wav/anything you like and slot it in ..

you can also download drum beats from www.loopology.com if you want to make your own ...

if your having problems getting your mic to work .. it's prolly the way you have your control panels setup wrong for your mic not teh program

hope that helps !

what do you mean control panel for the mic?

[Stiglar]

ok ,

find your volume control panel .. i can't really help you where to find it cause it's a bit different on different versions of windows .

it should be a whole lot of controls saying like :

play control , midi , wav , cd audio .. etc ...where it says microphone make sure underneath it it doesn't have "mute" selected

then :

go into the options menu .. .and then preferences ... then where it says : "Adjust volume for :"

and it'll have "playback" .. and then "recording" click on recording . it'll have a different set of controls make sure where it says microphone underneath it has the "select" button ticked .


i hope that helped you out a bit ... i'm really no good at explaining this type of thing
