Hey all, I'm getting into home recording for music, and hoping to do some podcasting in the near future as well. I've picked up a Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK (I did a bunch of research and the thought of a mixer + an interface was less appealing than 1 device which can do both). So far I am happy with it, but I am not yet settled on a DAW. I have used Audacity a bunch before and I find it super easy to use. It just makes sense to me. Now that I need a proper DAW which can support ASIO so I can get all the channels in from the mixer.
So far I have tried the following DAWs... Cubase (GAH! Too complicated!) and Reaper (not as complicated, but still finding it a pretty big learning curve). The mixer also came with a copy of Ableton Live Lite, which I have installed, but not tried yet. I'm on Windows 10, FWIW.
What I really want is a DAW which is as close to Audacity as possible, while supporting the ASIO drivers for the Signature mixer. I have seen Mixcraft mentioned here, is that one a good choice? Others? Please share your experiences!
