Manning,
Thanks a lot for all your tips and advice on Reaper. I tracked with my demo copy quite a bit yesterday and have to say I'm really stoked with it. Your tips about the "tracks in lanes" helped me a lot. I haven't tried the parent/child track concept yet but I'm sure I will. I'm going for the non-commercial license on reaper. If I ever write anything good enough to get it published and get paid for it, I'll spring for the commercial license no problem. I really like what these guys are doing. Being freed from my hardware is such a big deal for me. Also the lightness of the program is pretty different from what I'm used to. I'm pretty new with recording, only been at it for a little under a year. Reaper definitely goes on my list of "things I wish I knew about on day 1".
btw... Me too with the physics
Great stuff. It's like weightlifting for the mind.
Happy New Year!
Charlie
