It's easy to make an argument to any cash-strapped producer that a free DAW is good news. Here's Why the New Version of the Free Ardour 4 DAW is Great If you can actually play - and you don't need to print/share scores - you will never know the difference LOL. If you just want to record MIDI and do normal editing, no problem. *I should say that Reaper MIDI was weak compared with Logic, but everything is weak compared with Logic. I know from TapeOp forums lots of commercial studios - indy alt-rock type joints - use Reaper nowadays. People make a big fuss about full-blown Logic going for $200 now.
#Ardour daw pro
OTOH I know exactly one guy in 2015 who is making a good, normal-hours living in audio production outside the epicenter of big commercial pop music, and he is still very frustrated with Pro Tools.Īlso Reaper is hella cheap.
#Ardour daw 64 Bit
When the whole 64 bit thing happened AFAIK Reaper was the only DAW to make the transition gracefully - supported both plugs in single DAW with no drama. Reaper Midi was weak last time I used it* and comes with no integrated synths, so you pick your own plugins.
Best interface for audio routing of anything IMHO - not as exhaustive as Logic Environment but much much better interface IMHO. Now might be the time to start breaking ties with the big, icky corporations and go with people's software. I have no idea where Ardour is nowadays but I know where Logic was 5 years ago I could probably use that for the rest of my life. as I recall it now I see that the real bottleneck in that process my skill, not the tools - why does that sound familiar?!Īnyway - here's the thought I'm trying to get to - years behind other DAWs might not be a big deal in 2015.
#Ardour daw how to
For synths all I had was an old Roland JV-1080, which wouldn't seem so bad now, but at the time I didn't grok how to do synth programming other than adjusting attack for pad vs lines LOL.
Reminded me of college lab/studios in the 1990's.Īt the time it was years behind other DAWs and it was a real challenge to use it. Ardour at the time really functioned like a tape machine and mixer, with a sync track to run the sequencer.
The whole setup really functioned super old-school, with lots of outboard gear. I remember spending a lot of time with Rosegarden but I can't remember if that's what I settled on. At the time I used an external software MIDI sequencer - can't remember which one I used none of them were really full-featured. In that populist spirit I thought, "Let me do everything on a Linux box - examples, writing, typesetting - everything." Point being my vision was that I was going to crack this thing open, reaching the huge swaths of people shipwrecked in American Suburbia and help them find music again. I used it years ago - around 2006 I think? I was writing a book that I never tried to publish - a music method for guitar, the research for which sent me down a rabbit hole, culminating in the realization that there is no reliable way to learn music outside of a social context in which music is integral - i.e.
