I'm a new user and am having trouble finding a manual to download. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much!

Here's the basic manual in on-line and two different download versions.

Kos - Thank you so much! This is perfect.

You understand the curse of getting really good at that is you have to come back and help other people out of trouble. Doesn't matter if you're an expert or not. You are going to know more than somebody else.

And there's no way to get good at a subject past teaching it.

I'll be back to help for sure. Only after I figure out how to separate each song, put them in a format I can record to a CD, title each song and then burn them to the CD. My quest will then be complete!

Put a label (Apple-B) at the beginning of each music performance you want as a separate song. Then File > Export Multiple > WAV format.

This will give you a pile of WAV file which will blow right into iTunes. Create a PlayList and pull all your songs into it. The PlayList is the first/only place where you're allowed to order and arrange your clips.

Then Burn A Disk. Don't put a blank disk in ahead of time. Let the system prompt you.

<<<title each song >>>

Don't fall in love with that step. Red Book CDA (Music CD) audio tracks don't carry song titles.

Problems: If the import into iTunes doesn't go well, you may have produced your work at 32-bit floating instead of 16 bit. That's pretty common. You can change that inside Audacity.
