I'm an amateur in sound and music and only do occasional audio mixing and mastering on a basic level, and only if I need to, for video. Friend introduced me to Reaper and I've been blown away as it was easy (reportedly some people have issues with that, hah!) to use, cheap, and quite nice. Do you know if it will come to Linux as well? I know they've announced something about that.
- JonnieCache 10y agoReaper is amazing. I only recently found out it's made by ex nullsoft people. It works well for me under wine.
- macawfish 10y agoInteresting. I haven't really checked out Reaper. I have some friends who are at the Garageband level of computer music production. They have struggled with QTractor. Maybe I'll suggest Reaper, since it's only $60. The cost of Reaper, an i5 thinkpad with KXStudio, 8 gigs of ram and terabyte hard drive is like $200. You could make a top quality album with that setup, no problem.
- Keyframe 10y agoI consider myself rather smart, but I'm really dumb when it comes to audio software. DAWs especially so. I got reaper, went through their tutorials and I was mixing and mastering for broadcast stereo output, from 0-100, in about a week. I even dabbled with some music ideas and things like that and it's as easy as anything. I've tried Nuendo and ProTools at work, but it was overwhelming (or I was too lazy). Only other DAW that I liked was Digital Performer, but its font rendering on Windows rendered it unusable. I couldn't read anything in the UI.
