Right, ive just purchased a focusrite liquid saffire 56. I am trying to get a good set up to be able to record full bands. The next thing i need to look at is my daw. I am Currently using reaper but im not liking it atm.

The two options i currently have are:

Save up for an avid eleven rack that comes with a pro tools 11 and use that through my saffire 56 to get my guitar sound as im going to be di most of the time.

Or;

Get logic pro x and just use the built in amp sims to get my guitar and bass tones.

My current set up is just a decent spec mac and a focusrite saffire liquid 56. I am going to be doing mainly di guitars but then ill be re-amping any recordings that im trying to do to a higher level not just demos.Once i get my daw sorted im going to start looking at monitoring options.

Any one got any help? At the minute im leaning towards just saving for the eleven rack with pro tools but will take some months
 
Download the trial of MAGIX Samplitude Pro X.

Rather different from Reaper (which is great BTW) and you just might like the way it does things...AND there is pretty much nothing it can't do!

Hey thanks for the reply's, ive just been having alot of problems with it latly. Its been crashing alot for no apparent reasons and i just cant really seem to get to grips with it, its not as linear as id like if that makes sense? So i figured if im not happy with it its best to try something different...

Reaper has a huge learing curve. For me it was easy, as it sets up well as a tradtional mixing desk style from the analog days (when I learned). I think you may want to check out Cubase. I have problems with the program because it is different from the way I work. One of my fellows loves it and makes great music with it. give it a try. Not cheap but well respected. Really good for Midi too. BTw reaper is very stable on my system. 70 plus tracks and 60 to 100 plugins when needed. Be well all.
