Save: It is important to Save your work in case the unexpected happens, and to be able to continue working on your project later. If you try to close your project and it has unsaved changes the program will ask if you want to save the changes or not.
Save as: If you are not sure whether you like your changes or not, you can use Save as… to save your project (and changes) with a new name while still keeping your original version under the old name.
Name your project: Once a project has been saved, it can be named or renamed by clicking on the pencil icon in the name field.
Global volume slider: The global volume does not save with the project. It is advisable to do your work with this setting at maximum, but if the level is too high for the next stage in your system (eg. amplifier, headphones etc), use this setting to lower the overall output level.
Zoom slider: Adjust for wide view to see your whole arrangement or narrow view for fine tuning placement of samples
