meiklejohn Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Currently having serious issues with reaper... Needing to try something different, what's everyone using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Mixcraft 6, because it's a total breeze. Really easy to use. Lots of features, the stock VSTs and FX are very good. I have a lite version of Cubase, but I reverted back to Mixcraft. Cubase just does so much more than I need to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I have used in the past: Audacity, Reaper, Cubase, GarageBandI now use Logic 9 Pro. The difference is phenomenal in terms of flexibility in my opinion. Logic works and it works well. The stock plug-ins are pretty good, though can obviously be bettered by purchasing dedicated plug ins. I started with GarageBand when I switched to a Mac (best move I've made) but quickly decided to take the plunge and move to Logic and the move was fairly painless. Like most things using a DAW requires learning the ins and outs to get the best out of it. The learning curve can be quite difficult to go from getting something that works and gives you a listenable end result to giving you an end product that you would be able to stand up against some of your favourite albums etc and be proud of.The biggest advice I would give is, if finances allow, buy a dedicated computer for music and only use it for that. Since I made that move I've had a lot less hassle with things going wrong a lot less often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkevertson Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Garageband and logic.. Both great mac daws.. Obviously logic is more advanced but if you use garageband with 3rd party plugins its still great.. I agree with mixcraft for pc, so easy to use.. Its like using an old 8/16/24 track recorder but on a computer screen Edited September 27, 2014 by robkevertson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
