thanks, Nick.

I solved most of the problems by discovering there is something in the
corner where you select "power user". then the buttons you would
expect appear at the top of the screen.

"easy" version is much harder, because the tools you need to do
precise work are absent!

i'm not sure why the demo would default to easy version, because
someone considering buying the full version of Samplitude is probably
not a beginner.
