Fair enough!
To me the $60 for a license was not nearly enough to stop me. I use my
DAW(s)
*alot* I even make some money with it from time to time, so I simply
need something that works. I feel bitwig is expensive at 300 euros is a bit
expensive, though...
It's completely free to try Reaper tho..
I did try it a while back but stopped after only a short try out because I
couldn't work out how to do audio punch-in recording (also a problem with
qtractor and rosegarden for me last time I tried it). Also there was some
suggestion that reaper on wine didn't scale that well with multiple tracks
vs. Windows. Didn't have a change to test that tho. I also got too caught
up with trying which vsts I could get to work stably and wasted a lot of
time!!!
In the end I do most of my live recordings in mixbus which is quite good
but fairly heavy to run, and no midi, which is a bit of a problem but jack
transport with hydrogen/seq24 is quite good. Last time I tried ardour 3 it
wasn't quite there for me. For electronic or loop-based live instruments I
still think renoise is the best option.
