I realised that I didn’t explain the title of yesterday’s post. It was the idea that, while Audacity is a swiss army knife in the field of audio editing (all sorts of quick and useful functions), sometimes it makes more sense to fire up a full on digital audio workstation (DAW).

For years, Logic Pro has been my DAW of choice but, as my MacBook grows older and I’m not 100% committed to stay in the Apple fold, I’ve been exploring Reaper as a cross platform option and I’m beginning to get to the point where I can wield it effectively. Logic is a brilliant program but so is Reaper and it doesn’t tie you into one operating system platform.
