What follows is one muso trying to be fair and fun about a topic that’s full of myths, tribalism, and a bit too much seriousness.

#Ardour vs reaper how to#

I should disclose that I’m deep in a ten-year love/hate relationship with Ableton Live (I teach the free Live Clicks and Backing Trackscourse on Soundfly on how to use Ableton for on-stage electronic syncing and processing). I’m also friendly with REAPER, suspicious of Pro Tools, and really intrigued by Logic Pro X and Studio One 3.

At some point you need to dive in a build a relationship with your DAW, mastering its peculiar perks and quirks. The reality is that it’s hard to be a jack-of-all-trades with recording software. I’ve tried a bunch of DAWs in my time and I’m always looking for a cool new thing. It’s about choosing the one with the workflow and atmosphere that makes you feel at home and gets your songs where they need to be. Just like there’s no guitar that will suit all guitarists, there’s no platform that will be right for every producer. The quality of your mix will come down what you put into the DAW which is why making the right choice for you is so important. But basically, any DAW you choose will deliver the same audio transparency and clarity. If you’re really interested in this (and why wouldn’t you be?) this article is a great introduction to the science behind this topic.

Without diving deep into the complex, fascinating, and heady science of signal processing, all major recording software is now able to sample using at least 32-bit floating point calculations. In the interest of doing just that, I’m going to deal with a controversial point straight up: There is very little, if anything, that differentiates DAWs in terms of pure sound quality. Part of my job is to help you cut through all the post-truth out there and make the right choice for you about where to lay your precious tracks. It’s no surprise then, that much like the fights that people have over Nintendo/Xbox/Playstation or iOS/Android, the world of audio production is rife with software fan service and forum flame wars (harmless, of course, but they can be quite harsh!)… It’s the bridge of your musical Starship Enterprise, containing and co-ordinating all the software and hardware you use to create and communicate each of your decisions. Whether you’re working out of a home studio or a small project studio, your Digital Audio Workstation (or, DAW) is probably the single most important part of your setup.

I've never messed with Reaper but know it's pretty popular because it's fairly inexpensive and they have a free trial version deal kind of thing.This post originally appeared on Flypaper by our friends at Soundfly.

I think there is either a demo Reaper install or it's simple to get running in there. Ubuntustudio has audacity installed (with all the effects) and several other studio tools, pedal sims, amp sims, DAW, etc.

The LibriVox project (volunteers record audio books of public domain books, like those from Project Gutenberg) has a quick start process to Audacity It comes with several dozen typical effects like common pedals, but you can locate several hundred additional effects to install - kind of like having a huge pedal board. Now it's completely independent and actively updated.Īudacity is a good program. It forked off OpenOffice five or six years ago when Oracle bought Sun who organized the project back then. It's quite good and the reason I moved from Windows to Linux exclusively ten or twelve years ago. If an office suite is keeping you on Windows, this is the alternative. You can install it in any OS you are running now, or use it on Linux. Install it on an old computer you or someone in your family has kicking around that is idle because it's too slow. A hundred or more tabs are open in Firefox. I'm using a fully modern up-to-date MX version on a 2006-era laptop as I type this.
