Bumbling Novice seeks help with Live Lite 4 Software

[the_psychopomp]

k, well i joined this board 30 min ago, as someone could not help me and they pointed me to this site..


im gonna try to explain this cause you cant be here but..the other day i bought a Line 6 Toneport UX2 as well as Studio Pro 3 speakers, a mic, a stand and all the various cables to connect them. ive managed to record my guitar as well as my voice, but for some reason i can only do this when the "audio from" is set to "Masters"..this results in everything i play over a 30 minute period to be squished together at random intervals, some parts erased, others replacing them. so my #1 problem is trying to find out how to make one thing its own track as opposed to the master track


also, i dont even know how to record a song. the lessons it has arent helpful, as those are all about utilizing the various drum beats and synth clips and I just want to straight record, me and a guitar. well im not very tech savvy with this so hopefully the terms i use make sense. if someone can help me i would be most grateful.

The first thing that comes to mind when reading your post is to click on the help menu at the top of your program's window. I think all windows programs have the same basic menus at the top...file, edit, view, help, etc. Once you click help you should go to table of contents and click on Getting started, or something like that. You should be able to get all the basic info on recording there. I started with Acid Express which is a stripped down free version of Acid Pro. I had no problem at all with that, since as soon as you record something it puts it in its own track. I'm not familiar with the program you are using however. If you still can't get the help you need from the help menu, just download Acid Express and try that. It's almost idiot proof, as far as I can tell. I used it with no problem as almost a complete newbie to recording.
