Back in the Studio!

So, I'm resetting my studio, and my old Cubase isn't working any more.  Until I can afford to get a newer version (not sure when that'll be), I've been researching various options.  One was a low cost system called "Reaper".  The other was indabamusic.com

I was debating which one to use, so I thought this would be a good chance to try them and review them.

Tonight was my first attempt with Reaper.  As I looked it over, it seemed to have a lot of robust features.  MIDI, VST plugins, soft synths, a lot of the things I need.

It wasn't very intuitive to launch, however, and it took me a long time to flick all of the right switches and get a signal from a mic to my audio box, to the computer and into a track.

I'm very excited to be back up and running!  My first task will be to cut acoustic and voice demos of all of these tunes that I've written since February.  From there, I'll see what happens.  I'd like to start making more complete productions, but I'll have to see what software I'm using at that point.

I'm baaaa-aaack!
