Hmm...I can't help ya either grambo, but on the same thread of things, is there anyone familiar with ProTools? I picked up some of their software a while ago, and have been using it. I undestand the basics, but it is obviously a pretty powerful tool. But all of that is a discussion for another time...I just want to figure out how I can fade tracks. I say it because after 3 hours of searching for a way to make the single solo electric track fade into a piece yesterday instead of stabbing its way in, i gave up and threw a cat out a window....so if i could figure out how to fade...might save some cats....

Thanks Guys, it's a USB input and I've got the hang of it now, although I keep having to install drivers - GRRR
