[RWP] Need a quick-start guide, please.

[Derek Lane]

heres a brief guide.
control t creates a new track, where you can type a name.
pressing f2 on the track in focus lets you rename it.
you would then press home to get to the beginning of your project, f7 to 
arm, making the track the 1 you record too, then press r to record.  To 
stop, press s.
To insert an effect on a given track, arrow to that track and press f.
To insert a master effect, press shift plus the f key.
to adjust the panning of a track, alt left and right arrow does the trick, 
and volume?  simple, alt up and down.
That should get you going for a while.
