I'm glad for all the logic users and students I have. If you want to get serious about making music I'd urge you to check out REAPER.

- fit2rule 6y agoREAPER has a great workflow. Its like the vim of DAW.
- dijksterhuis 6y agoYou just reminded me about Reascripts. Now I know what I'm spending the rest of my lockdown doing.
- qmmmur 6y agoIf you're interested I have a load of scripts that access some command-line audio processing algorithms (non-negative matrix factorisation, harmonic percussive source separation) to do batch processing inside REAPER. https://github.com/jamesb93/reacoma https://github.com/jamesb93/reacoma
- fit2rule 6y agoThanks for thus - very cool bunch of scripts, highly useful!
- dijksterhuis 6y agoAmazing. Cheers dude.
- kristiandupont 6y agoI read the GP comment and I was about to downvote. Then I read your comment and sat up in my chair. I use Ableton and I also play with Logic, FL and the occasional tracker. I would love to know what you mean with "the vim of DAW" and perhaps if there is a video or text that describes it?
- fit2rule 6y agoGreat hotkeys for everything .. just install it and give it a try. '?' key is your friend - from this you will learn the ways of the REAPER ... ;) For tutorials: you need to get some Kenny Gioia in your viewing time. It will make the power of REAPER so much more clear: http://www.kennymania.com/reaper-videos/ http://www.kennymania.com/reaper-videos/
- kjakm 6y agoWhy? I've been in a lot of studios and never seen Reaper used once. It's all Pro Tools and a surprising amount of Cubase. This is very much the same as "if you want to get serious about coding use VIM not VSCode".
- qmmmur 6y agoBecause its extensibility is enormous and it has a thriving community of people developing for it. The JSFX alone has made it possible to replicate thousands of dollars worth of dsp algorithms for everyone for free and The developers listen to concerns of the users. For me it's a DAW that represents longevity in a creative practice.
- rogerclark 6y agothis is highly dependent on region, genre and demographics. every scene has their own tools. in the EDM scene, Pro Tools is regarded as a joke -- absolutely no one uses it, and the impression is that it's for old and out-of-touch people. I know a team producing music for several very well-known television series entirely using Reaper
- qmmmur 6y agoIn the BBC remote vans they run REAPER alongside some other proprietary stuff.
