Umm, could you be a bit more specific, please? Like, exactly what is it you are having the problems with? Are you asking how to make SX work, ie the order in which to do things to get a track recorded? What equipment do you have? Are you recording directly via the Mac's built-in audio line in jack? If so, does SX actually let you do that? Or do you just want advice on how to write a good song?

More info from you = more info from us!

sorry, i guess i was looking for help in general on how to successfully record a few tracks. i've also loaded cubase sx on my g3 powerbook, but i can only use the built it microphone input... hmm? how do i select other inputs in cubase? do i need a separate hardware plug in for XLR/phono? i have many questions, the most important being how do i convert a cubase project into an mp3?
