:The Hydrogen drum machine is pretty easy to use. Just press RECORD, and then click on an appropriate drum sound. The drumming pattern loops, so you can take your time to build more complex drumming patterns. Various drumming patterns can be saved and then can be added in a sequence to build a song... This application also has a "pattern" mode and a "song" mode...
:'''Create a drumming pattern, and press play on the hydrogen application to test out the drumming pattern. Stop the drumming pattern'''.
:'''When you are ready to record, click the record button in the Audacity transport toolbar, and then click the play button in the hydrogen application'''. Don't worry if there is blank audio, since you can always cut the unwanted portions of the track after recording. When finished, then click the stop button in Hydrogen, and then click the stop button in Audacity. It is recommended to immediately click the rewind button to set the position to the beginning of the track.
