My knowledge of recording software is somewhat rudimentary. I was wondering if any veterans could help me out.

I use Cakewalk, but I don't have a manual because it's my friend's copy (he upgraded to different software and gave me Cakewalk) and he misplaced the manual. So I've had to figure out pretty much everything by trial and error. There are two questions I have for people familiar with Cakewalk.

1) How do I punch in (i.e. preselect a specific section of the track that I can re-record over as much as I like)? Currently, I queue up the music somewhat, press record, turn off the monitor, and wait till the specific section of music comes up that I want to record over. I'm sure there's a way to punch in the specific section and make it easier though.

2) How do I pan channels for stereo effects? I've played with the console mode, but haven't had any success isolating channels.

Thanks,

Matt :)
