My vote is to go with reaper. It costs 60 bux, and the blind community surrounding it is super helpful.

The following is a great place to start:
https://reaperaccessibility.com/index.php/Main_Page

The "links and resources" page on the above wiki has some excellent resources:
- pointers to mailing list, and other community groups on whatsapp and discord
- an excellent tutorial called "Ten Typical Tasks with Scott" (first link following the "Tutorials and Presentations heading

Hope this is helpful.

Folks,

There’s really no point in talking about my frustration.  The Tascam FW-1884 was cool, but I’m on my second board, and it’s doing it’s stupid thing, losing control information.  I’m done!

Ok, here’s how you can help.

I’m a guitar player, I write a lot of originals.  I don’t have to do heavy production, just want to record my stuff and post it on my web site.  I have all kinds of off board gear, mostly Strymon.

I have a Mackie 1202 board, and some great mics.

What can I use to record with some lite editing, multiple  tracks would be helpful, and the ability too import drums files.

Can you guys please talk to me about this.  I don’t want to talk about the Tascam ever again, that’s over!

Reaper, or what do you suggest?  I’m on a budget, so start talkin to me please.

I’m headed to the music store to teach what’s left of my student load as a result of the pandemic, but I will read you’re your advice as soon as this evening.

Thank you for reading this, it helps just to write this.

Living love, loving life,

Jay Pilkington
