[the masked drummer]

Now I know what I am, a "complete noob". Thanks for recognizing some of us are completely new at pc-recording, even if we've got nearly 30 years of recording experience and formal education in recording under our belts...
Update: I made my first recording last night and I had ZERO problems. I can't believe how easy it is to use the basic recording and effect functions! And I must add that my ft ultra interface was easy, too. Just plugged in vdrums into channel 1 and it worked. The output worked, too. Didn't have to do any setup at all. I guess I'm easily impressed.
