Q:  I am recording some music from Cassette tapes to files on my PC so I could
    transfer them to CD. The recording however stops before I get to the end 
    of the first song on the cassette.  How will I ever be able to record
    12-15 songs in a row?


A:  You should be able to record audio however long you wish (depending on 
    how much free hard drive space is available). If it stops recording, 
    then something might not be right with your computer. 

    Be sure to turn off any anti-virus software (Norton, etc). Also, turn off
    any other unnecessary processes that may be running in your System. 
    Recording Audio is a CPU intense and hard disk space demanding process, 
    so make sure you have adequate room on your hard drive (one minute of CD 
    quality audio requires approximately 10 MegaBytes of hard drive space). 

    You also must have enough hard drive space for the Windows temp file 
    (SWAP file) and the temporary file that is created when you are recording.
    So it's a good idea to have at least 1 GB of free space available on your
    hard drive, especially for recording lengthy audio segments of 30 mins or
    over.

Q:  How can I record more than one track at a time?

A:  You can record up to 2 tracks (one source panned left and one right) 
    at one time for a Stereo result. Just hold down the CTRL button while 
    clicking in the R column and you can enable recording on more than one 
    track at once.

                       ******************************

Q:  Why can't I see the wave while I am recording? It shows up after I finish.

A:  You cannot see the waveform while recording. This is the way any audio 
    recording software works. The audio is recorded and then the wave form 
    is displayed. 

                       ******************************

Q:  Is there a way to view the entire waveform in the window?  So far, all 
    I've been able to view is segments.  Granted, it jumps to the next 
    segment quickly, but I'd like to be able to view the entire song(s) after
    I've recorded it/them.

A:  If you double-click on the waveform in the trackview window, it will 
    open up to a sizeable window. You can maximize the window and zoom out 
    using the zoom buttons. 


                       ******************************

Q:  Is there a way to make the height of the waveform window taller than the
    full amplitude of the recording, so I can see which passages are louder, 
    and how loud?

A:  You may maximize the audio window and zoom out as much as possible.


                       ******************************

Q:  I have a PRS-540 Yamaha keyboard. Can I step-record in the transcription
    view or do I have to do it just from the Piano Roll view?

A:  You cannot record into the Transcription view in real time. You can step
    record into the Piano roll and then transcribe it. 


                       ******************************

Recording 2 Audio Tracks at once:
    You can record up to 2 tracks (one source panned left and one right) 
    at one time for a Stereo result. Just hold down the CTRL button while 
    clicking in the R column and you can enable recording on more than one
    track at once.

Recording: Bleeding through:
Q:  I am using a keyboard in which I am recording to port 2.All my digital 
    sounds are on port 1. Every time I want to record MIDI from my keyboard
    on a new track I keep getting bleed through from previous tracks that 
    were recorded, onto new tracks in which I am trying to record onto. 
    My mike is off and I am using headphones. What can I do?

A:  If you are recording from the Line In jack for example, make sure you 
    only have LINE IN selected as your audio recording source. Don't select 
    something like 'stereo mix', 'output mix', 'what you hear', etc. or your
    MIDI tracks will also get recorded in your audio tracks. 

                       ******************************

Recording voice, instruments get recorded too:
Q:  When recording my voice track (digital) using my mic and recording on 
    track 4, it's picking up the digital drums on track 1 and the pianos on
    track 2(midi), 3(midi). On playback muting 1,2,3, I can hear the drums,
    pianos and my vocals. It's like the digital mixdown- but I just want to
    record the vocals, not mixdown the whole song on 4.

A:  If you're recording from your 'line in' or 'Mic' jack, then you should
    select only those as the recording source. Do NOT select 'What you hear'
    as your recording source unless you're trying to record your MIDI as 
    audio.
