The 2 things I miss : 1/ render to MP3 (I had to render to WAV and convert to MP3 with something else), Yes, it is a AI 8.is it good or should I buy reaper? I always think, DAWs don't bite, it's not hard to learn the basics.įrequently I see posts where people try to avoid a DAW because they are daunted by it, but then they spent ages trying to do some something basic somewhere down the line a few months later finding that tools like audacity or cantabile can't do a b or c, but the same things are easily done in a DAW, once you know your way around them a bit. There is a little bit of learning involved initially, but honestly, make yourself coffee, read a manual and follow some tutorials, and you'll be up and running in no time Personally, I think for the cost you are quoting, if you want more at some stage in the future, I'd just get a DAW, that money will buy you reaper or many others. If you want to add a small amount of compression in your recording as well as reverb with two separate plugins, free cantabile will not let you do that. It'll work fine, though it does have limitations I found pretty quickly, the free version will only allow one insert effect for example, you can add an external reverb plugin if you want, but after that the free version does not allow any more inserts. The support from the developer was very quick and helpful. If I'll reach the end of the possibilities of this software, there are 2 more versions for 69$ & 199$. I am using the free version, with three virtual instruments in it. So I tried Cantabile and it is working very well and it is easy to use. I prefer to assign a different MIDI channel to each one and select my VST from my piano. You can choose instantly the right one with two clicks (unarm the unwanted one, arm the other). With two VST, Reaper only use those of the tracks which are armed. You have however to configure it (ASIO or WASAPI sound card, enable your MIDI port), not complicated and it is done once for all. You want to start again ? Delete your record on the track and start again.įor such a purpose (and it is roughly mine), it is quite straightforward. If you are happy with what you have done, File/Render and it is converted in a WAV or MP3 format Record (a big red button), stop - your record is done.
Then, arm it if this is not done (a little red button on the track), With Reaper, there is a a menu "Insert a virtual instrument in a new track" which create your track easily. I remember that if I forget to ask a WAV record, I could end with a MIDI record I don't know how to convert.
