>>cubase: Major Help!, new user needing to learn the basics. Options

[i am ake]

so here i am with a new cubase sx cd in my hand, ambition in my eyes and a will to record a demo. The only setback? i've never used a digital recording program other than audiocorder (which, for it's lovely simplicity, is less than satisfactory)

so can anyone run me through the steps to setting up a decent recording? (i have no recording hardware.. just the one audio input on the back of my g4)


thanks.
