Lighten up, Bob!  The guy is overwhelmed by a large, complex, slightly
arcane computer program.  He may or may not be a good recordist (note
my lack of the word "engineer", which is VASTLY overused.  The huge
majority of us are NOT engineers.).

I'd been charging money to record for over 10 years before I got Pro
Tools, and when I did, the hardware and software problems inherant in
getting a system all set up were a royal PITA.   And I bought my first
computer in 1985, and that was many machines ago.   I don't know that I
was overwhelmed, but it was quite the learning curve to get up and
going.  So I feel for the OP.
