Re: Wave Forms

It sounds like you are getting clipping due to an oversaturated signal (i.e. it's too loud).

Re: No Previewing On Equalizer

IIRC there may have been a bug which afflicted this - so the developers may have (temporarily?) removed it.

But - a workaround: apply the effect and then use the Undo if it's not right.

Re: I'm a Dunce, Can You Help Me?

Yes you can combine them - they will automatically be combined on Export to WAV/MP3/whatever. Playing the project will play both tracks anyway, unless you "mute" one of the tracks - be careful of the mute function in 1.2 as there is a bug in 1.2 (fixed in 1.3) whereby the mute is not honou...
