You could get Reaper which you can run in trial mode forever, it's just after the trial period you have to wait a short time when you open it before you can use it, it's less than a minute iirc. It's well worth paying for it though just to find the small team that keep on giving updates.
https://www.reaper.fm/ Also check this out https://blog.landr.com/best-free-daw/ For an interface, you could get a Focusrite Scarlett Solo but it is a little bit limited. I use one at my holiday home and if you're only going to use either headphones or speakers it's fine, if you're going to be switching you have to unplug the speakers as you can't switch them off. https://focusrite.com/en/audio-interface/sc...t/scarlett-solo Better option would be the Scarlett 2i2 https://focusrite.com/en/usb-audio-interfac...tt/scarlett-2i2 You can often find decent ones on eBay I hope that helps, I've only used Scarlett interfaces and find them very reliable. I've tried many DAWs and always come back to Reaper but we're all different so check out that link above and experiment. Good luck.

You can't reply in Rec, only instructors. I always thought it would be good to allow the student who submitted the video to have one post at the end just to days "thanks" but it is how it is 😊

i I would try EZ MIX studio , you can try it for free https://www.toontrack.com/ezmix-2-try-it-free/ , It is called ez mix because 95 percent is pre adjusted so you can't mess it up , you just need to scroll thru the presets till you find the one you like . The downloader will put it into reaper effects so it will be easy to put on a channel . The number one mistake is forgetting to turn on monitoring and arm the record button or you will never hear yourself This will also make it easy to download audio of your lessons and get a fairly good tone . We all had a learning curve so don't get frustrated and learn how to find your answers on youtube.. Now you can get all the same tones for free , but it is a bigger learning curve and I believe Gabriel did a few videos on how to get free tones ., Hope this helps

I will certainly have a look at it. Right now I'm already using garageband and I managed to get some decent recordings on REC. I just bought the interface from focusrite but haven't tright it out yet. But I will certainly have a look at EZ MIX and I'll keep you informed ;-) Grtz, Gert |
