Hello,

   Thanks for the input. I bounce back and forth between becoming less of a ludite and learning the computer thing or buying something simpler to use. But after reading your responses I'm not sure the multitracks are any simpler to use or not. I initially tried to learn Cubase on an old Mac but didn't have the proper manual. My friend has ProTools and I did some recording with him at the controls but it seems we spent an awful lot of time finding things.
   Need more coffee to think.                      Thanks, Frankie
