What bugs?
Neither do I but then I really don't see the point? Those of us (and I really mean my son here*) who have been using the same DAW for a decade or more are very comfortable with it and are likely to tell any noob that asks that &*&^% is the best DAW since bread cum cut.The first poll was created in 2006 and this one was created in 2016, some seven years ago. Maybe we need a newer one since, as the OP stated, so much has changed.
I'd do it myself . . . but I don't know how.
What is certain is that whatever you start with you will probably not swap. Changing DAWs is really painful and frustrating, so try a few and then jump in.
One really nice thing about Reaper is that there are HUNDREDS of videos on how to do just about anything. Need to know how to export your song? Its out there. How to use EQ or pan changes? Yup. How to invert a signal and send it to an effects send? The demo is there. The ReaperMania channel on Youtube is a goldmine of information. It's as simple as putting "how do I ....... in Reaper" into Google and you'll get your answers.It's been suggested to me, that I use Reaper... Since what I know about any DAW is NOTHING, it may just as well be a great place to start. If I have a song in reaper, can I play it & listen to what needs changed or deleted...? Make volume changes & can it be downloaded as a song & sent to be recorder for listening...
Exactly that. it's only as complicated as you want to make it. It's so customizable that you can do almost anything with it. I've been using it for about 10 years and I'm sure I haven't even touched 5% of what it can do.Some people say it's too "complicated" and they don't need all those capabilities. The answer is to just use what you need. If basic volume, pan, EQ and reverb is all you need, then just use that.
I think this statement is true for most people and the DAW(s) they uses.Exactly that. it's only as complicated as you want to make it. It's so customizable that you can do almost anything with it. I've been using it for about 10 years and I'm sure I haven't even touched 5% of what it can do.
