Anybody building a new PC DAW System

[Guvna19]

For $60.00 USD you can't go wrong with Reaper, it has a multitude of pretty good VST & JS plugins as standard more than enough to get you through almost any situation, these plugins are also pretty resource friendly.

Workflow varies from DAW to DAW but they all do the same thing so my recommendation would be to spend a bit of time learning one and stick to it.

Some time in the next day or two I'll put up something I have done bottom to top in Reaper, I've got about a dozen tracks that are pretty much in the bag but we added pedal steel over the weekend so I have to edit and remix them all.

There is blues, ballads and country all harmony heavy so something for everybody.

Most of the projects have at least 20 tracks and the 10 yr old Toshy laptop struggles a bit with the big ones but the i5 PC that i do all the mixing on sails through.

cheers Dave, reaper was the first one which i got TH2 vst to work so its a winner so far...and good to know of your positive feedback re usage.
whilst i love nothing more than cranking up the old and new amp setup when permits, i also really like the ability to record and 'jam' along with drums bass etc as ive never really had the whole band experience, only primitive jams with mates and now son.
i guess it all takes the time spent on learning....best hobby ever!!!.....

love to hear some of your work too....mmmmm bluesy steel please
