Why dat, Schmeddy??


Can't set up equipment at the house and record. Takes hours to get it set up, can't leave it that way when I'm done. So I have to be content working on the laptop with Audacity, which is a piece of crap. Full of latency, other glitches. I just have to enjoy what I got going right now. Band meets almost weekly, I record it, chop it up. That's better than nothing.

Audacity is sucky for multi-tracking, its basically just a sound editor.
Download Reaper (it's free for full version, $60 to register).

Free download? I have no idea what that is and what to do with it.

$450 computer program? No thanks. Can't use it. Besides, that's my budget for musical gear for about 2 years. I'm screwed.

It's not about putting the kid to bed and having free time. I have that. I can't plug two things together in my house and walk away and have them still be there a day or two later. It is what it is. :?

Buying the limited version of some premium DAW software for beginners is a better option as compared to wasting time with the free editions. These limited version exist so that small home studios can have the luxury of a DAW as well. The expenses go down drastically as compared to the full versions but at the same time the features offered by these limited editions are somewhat close to the licensed editions. And more over, these restricted features are generally used only by advanced sound engineers. This is the reason why you don’t even need them.

Purchasing a limited version doesn’t mark a d
