Needs fixing. Hard to learn to use. Should be β€œintuitive β€œ

Hey, too hard to learn how to use . It says start recording but won’t. What’s that about.

The free version is okay

The sound quality seems mono Like an am radio but at least you can easily delete files. So ok to record my saxophone playing while the orchestra recording plays on my CD. Wonder if sound is of higher quality in the upgrade?
