Greetings to all. I'm looking for feedback from ppl who have used Nuendo or Cubase or Wavealb or ProTools for "audio production" - ie, for voice recording & editing, library & sfx editing and then mixing for radio, TV & podcast and who now use Reaper instead. Or who have used Reaper and now use Nuendo, Cubase, Wavelab or PT instead.
Why I ask?
It's time to upgrade my 2006 Nuendo/Wavelab/RME/UAD on XP setup. It's a happy & powerful system. I love it but someday it will die & I need to be ready. I figured I'd upgrade to 64bit Nuendo & Wavelab, but probably move to Cubase b/c not I'm doing 5.1. However, Reaper keeps coming up in my searches. Then I learn "Mr. Winamp" is behind Reaper.
Hmmmm. That seems cool.
Also - and here's the other half of the question - I'm setting up a team of reporters/editors - mostly newbies - and will be teaching them basic recording and editing and maybe even full audio production skills for podcasting. Over time I expect to purchase several copies of the software so I want to be on a platform that is easy-enuff for a beginner, cheap enuff in the stripped-down version to not break the bank with multiple copies, and beefy-enuff that someone with some real chops won't get bored! And it has to be written for Win & Mac and be 10inch tablet friendly.
At first blush the Cubase "basic" pkg at $100 or so and Reaper at $60 or so looks promising.
Are there any others I am overlooking?
Thoughts? And especially if you've used the SW I know - Cubase/Nuendo/PT/Wavelab.
