Hi Ron,


>>> I tried my first excursion with recording and navigating around in RB yesterday.

Since it was your first time using the program, you may have already found out the answers, but there are easy ways to do the things that you were asking about, and they are listed below.

>> I can not find a way to move a sound file around or delete part of it.

To move a sound file around, select the area that you want and then Control Click on it, and drag it. You can highlight the current event by right-click on it, and choose "Highlight Current Event"

>> It took forever just to find a way to change a midi track to an audio track.
Right click on the track window (LH side) you get a drop down menu with the first item being a change in track type.
A faster way is to just press the "Record Audio" button, which auto- changes the track to an audio track.

>>> I never did figure out where the audio was being recorded to, or how to arm a track.

After recording, you see a WAV overview, just like in all DAWS.

>>> Part of my frustration is that I really needed to do something with a sound file yesterday and couldn't even get started other than importing and mp3 file which, it could not even do till I got on line do download yet another app to make the most common file format on the planet besides .pdf, work in this app.

MP3's can be opened by File-Open. Not sure why you needed to get additional software for that.

Have Fun!
