I am pretty new to home recording. Right now my recording is limited to just a single (stereo) track of classical guitar (sometimes with Webcam video and sometimes not). All audio is captured with a Yeti Blue Pro mic USB'ed into a Dell XPS (Windows 10) laptop running Audacity. Right now about all the audio processing that I do is some noise reduction, maybe a bit of EQ (or maybe not), volume normalization, and it is done.
If I were to do 'more' it might be related to simple effects (like adding reverb) or I can imagine a bit of multi-track stuff where I might add a backing track. Nothing more complicated than that seems likely to me.
Am I really missing anything here by not going to a 'real' DAW like Reaper?
If it matters I work in a small space (11x12' bedroom), carpeted, full of furniture, and do have a pair of decent JBL near field, powered, 5 inch monitor speakers. My 'sound card' comes from a USB attached Line 6 Pod HD500X guitar amplifier simulator (this also drives the speakers).
Thanks.
