Producer/studio/recording pals:
Friend looking for a DAW. They’re a newbie. Beside Reaper, what should I suggest? Asked what their needs are
“She said she wants to blend existing music and be able to add layers. Got it drilled down to she wants to remixes and be able to add her own beats on top”
@mykie as a former newbie what helped me the most was LMMS. It's basically "the free/libre FL Studio" and it's cross-platform, and it was surprisingly easy to write music and stuff in times when I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.
Probably not worth recomending your friend, tho, since it works pretty well for MIDI but not that well with real recordings/samples, and it has a huge probem managing with tempo changes in these. If anything, maybe worth to program beats and simple stuff.
