Title pretty much sums it up. I want to be able to record junk direct when I have time and edit later on my laptop. What's the easiest? I know that I won't be diving in real deep into this world of plug ins and real elaborate mixes, I just want to get my lofi bedroom jams finished Seems like people always recommend reaper? Anything else? As of this moment, I'll be running my Katana direct or using my zoom h4n as a mic, not sure if that matters. I have a macbook but everyone says not to use garageband. Cheaper the better but I'm willing to spend money if it will make it more possible to actually create what I want.
The flow for the first project will be to get my guitar parts dialed to a click, have my friend play drums, then some other friends lay down various other parts (bass, bassoon, and trumpet). After this thing is done it'll be on to other ideas.
Any advice appreciated!
