Maybe I need to get deeper into the manual and HELPS section.

A very good thing to start doing.

This is a highly technical situation and there are many different softwares that can do this job. Each one may or may not do something in the same way as the other one does. We must use that manual quite a lot when changing to a new software, we must also recognize that there may be a longer learning curve when moving from one software to another, too.

This is analagous, in my opinion, to those who think that they can figure out how to run the 24 channel mixer board by just jumping in and twisting knobs and moving faders until they "hit" on proper settings. Ain't gonna happen. I've heard and seen people who should know better doing things like using the Mic Trim control as a Volume Control, trying to run the Gain Staging bass ackwards, trying to run a hot live sound reinforcement system totally flat including monitors, all sorts of things that could have rather easily been avoided had they first sat down and studied and understood the manuals that come with the things.

If you find a term that you don't understand, underline it or otherwise make a note of it, then FIND OUT about that term. Use the Internet, search for terms, there are plenty of glossaries, dictionaries and tutorials to be found these days for just about any subject. And then there are forums like this one, too.

KNOW, don't guess.
