Garage Band Misadventure

I am all dressed and ready for the dance, but it's like I don't have a date. Not exactly, but I am ready to edit my first "sight and sound" project, but garage band is not cooperating. I tried to import my audio from a cassette tape recorder to my home computer which has cool edit pro installed, but for some reason the audio was not showing up on the cool edit soft ware. And here at KU, Garage Band is a little vexing. I will keep trying!
