Great advice about using the mixer window for much of your work. You should find it's familiar to you since it mimics mixer controls you are used to.

One feature you'll discover is using a bus (somtimes called a group or sub). Larger mixers have this feature but I haven't seen it included on any hardware daw. Say you have multiple tracks that have some commonality to them like background vocals or complementry guitars. Once you have their sound levels, panning and frequencies set up as you desire you can group them together into a bus and use a single set of controls for the group. Any effect applied to the group is applied to each track within the group. RealBand has 16 Busses.
