1.learn to route
2learn to record
3 edit
learn to edit zero threshhold (zoom in)
4.learn all mixing functions hook up out board gear and route to it as a buss.
5.automation=learn pan fader plugin automation in mixer window and edit window .
most of all just open a useless track of audio and explore every function and button that is the only way to know what everything does.
