[REASON - Please Direct Reason questions here]

another quick question:

How do i record changes on the mixer? For example i press record, then play, then for one of the tracks i can mess around with the device its attached to and it'll record those changes. But what if i want to change the volume of the track on the mixer at a certain point? or even the master volume?

Also, is there a way to increase the volume without having it peak out? keep it in the green/yellow area yet have it be loud?

thanks.

quick noob-ish question:

I got reason and went online and downloaded some songs. I noticed on the sequencer the tracks have different colored backgrounds. Can someone explain what they are and what they do?

[Sample Request]

I would like some good distorted guitar samples, all the ones ive found don't sound that great.
