I don't tend t work much with MIDI, but I believe you need to click on the pencil icon on the arrange screeen in line with the channel which refers to your drums. This will create a part which you can now double click to open the matrix edit window. Here you can draw triggers in, different drums up and down and length of trigger left to right. You can al ...[text shortened]... ou just tell the VST instrument to play this track, but I'm not entirely sure how to do this.
You can't imagine how difficult it is when you have a 14-month-old trying to twang the strings on your guitar and mashing the computer keyboard 😕
Sorry if its mentioned already in the thread, but when is the closing date (I know its moved a few times).
My fiance started learning the guitar a couple of days ago, and would like to enter a song, but we've got to buy a mic and figure out how to record more than 60 secs. And another couple of days practice wouldn't go astray either. 🙂

record directly into your sound card, you probably already know that.
BTW, I just found out something interesting. I thought WAV files
was the standard used for CD's but its not. I did some recording for
my sons friends who are doing an animated cartoon and I recorded
the voices for a trailer, using Sonar 4 (cakewalk). When you hit
export, you get several choices, RIFF, 'Broadcast Wave' which seems
to be WAV files and MP3, I chose Broadcast wave and thought that
would be the end of it. When I burned all the voices to a cd, it plays
on a cd player but when we found out I had missed one of them
I needed to email one short track, about 20 seconds which is about
3 1/2 Megs, I tried to email it to Kevin, my son. So what was weird was
I had to switch comps, didn't have the net on my studio machine so
burned it to a cd. When I right clicked on the wav file on my studio
machine, under properties, it said, 3.45 megs.
But when I took the burned copy upstairs to my wifes machine,
it played the track fine but when I right clicked and hit properties,
it only showed a couple of K used on the disc. Obviously you can't turn
3 megs into 2 Kilobytes and expect to hear 20 seconds of audio
so somehow the file properties got hidden from being read by the
comp. It also emailed exactly the same way. Kevin could not take
the emailed version and play it because the audio was gone.
So I looked closer and found despite selecting 'broadcast wave'
somehow it the extension was now XXX.cda instead of XXX.wav.
So I found a file conversion suite online for 30 bucks that converts
cda to wav, real wav files and mp3 and a bunch of other stuff I never
heard of like OGG. After I did the conversion, the newly created file
was infact XXX.wav and hitting properties showed it to be 3.45 megs
like it was suppposed to be. So I emailed that and haven't heard back
but it must have gone through, it took a long time to send and I did
not get a frantic call from Kevin. He and his buddies are taking the
audio to a studio in Connecticut and doing the animation, background
and such so it was important to get it sent as soon as possible.
So if anyone else went through the same thing with sonar or any other
recording software, is there a way to head this off at the pass and
convert it to a real wav file right at the source like sonar instead of
going to all that trouble? Sorry for the long post, it was a complicated
issue. Don.

Off topic, why are your sentences so short per line in your posts? Your next line happens about half the length of other posters.

OK, I'm leaving this up for the rest of the day whilst I make the page up from whence you can download. Any of you that still want to enter, send me either the link to your file already hosted, or contact me for my e-mail so you can send me the mp3.
If I don't hear from anyone by tomorrow morning, I'll open the voting.
