It's fantastic and has heaps of free plugins, VST's and also their own free DAW plus from time to time other DAW's free. Costs me AUS$25 but well worth it.

It's really good and free for non-commercial use. If you have latency get ASIO drivers for your soundcard. ASIO4ALL.com should have something, especially if you have a Creative Labs Sound Blaster type card. Yeh I’ve been mucking around with REAPER from Cockos.

I'm a long time ProTools HD/TDM user + have used Cubase for 15 years and Non Linear Editors for even longer. Now I'm moving away from all that for an app called REAPER. I truly have been blown away by it's functionality, flexibility and performance - it's also been the only DAW that could stand up to the pace of client requests, tweaks & versioning for media music. It's something that really seems too good to be true, but thanks to the power of modern PCs & good super-low-latency soundcards I feel there is no point even considering ProTools unless you want to be able to say "hey I use ProTools". (And that coming from someone who thought TDM was the be all & end all!). That's my opinion anyway! Regards Drew Great article but missing some exciting developments.

To be fair, in the first paragraph Groovespook plainly says there are 'anything from 12 to 190 different [DAWs]' and he 'would like to go on and on and on as the options are boundless.' So no matter how many *key* packages we list, there's invariable going to be the 'Hey, what about ______ ?' comments. Thank you for introducing us to Ardour. I'm going download a copy and check it out. If it's cool maybe we'll do a review of it :) Hey Paul,
