So it's basically like Reaper?

Haha good one

Reaper is my main DAW but I fully get how this is very true for a lot of folks.

I was exaggerating of course, it's not half as bad.

Yet, there is something to it, when it is being described as "the Linux of DAW's". With the goods and the bads that come with it.

I took a look at Blender yesterday though, and, compared to that, Reaper is piece of cake really. Didn't even know where to start really... i think i will need to study tutorials for half a year, before i'm even able to do something with it.

Too bad that no major DAW except ReNoise has option for tracker.

I want to get back to using Psycle.

I figured out Blender enough to do a few videos at uni a few years back - just fairly basic editing - but, yes, it is a very intimidating interface!

however, whereever i look for up to date help and tutorials all i get is tumbleweed...
i would also mention EnergyXT

Podium is still being developed.

I've been a Podium 'follower' since 2009. It's development, unfortunately, is snail like. The dev is a top bloke but I get the feeling he is a real perfectionist about his product - as such updates hardly ever include new features - more like a constant refining of what's already there. It still doesn't have any inbuilt time stretching abilities for example which folks have been asking for since at least the time I bought a license in 2009. It still has cpu problems too - my main reason for not commiting to using it.

Sad,but true. I still use it most days for sketching with though because it loads quickly and it has such a clever and simple UI,and all in such a tiny footprint.

And being cross-platform, Win/OSX/Linux is a big plus.

Audition was one of my first loves, and I was aboard since it was first developed by Syntrillium and called Cool Edit Pro. I alpha/beta tested for Syntrillium and helped with every Cool Edit Pro release, as well as the port to Audition once Adobe bought them. I alpha/beta tested Audition up to 3.0, which was the last version I have. I dropped off when it went to the CC subscription model, and once Propellerhead released Record, I stopped using it almost entirely except for detailed sample editing.

I still fire it up sometimes (3.0 still works on Windows 10, thankfully). It's a shame Adobe didn't capitalize on its audio editing capabilities and press it more as a fully featured DAW. I still like Audition's workflow.

Hmm. No mention of LMMS yet so that must be a winner

Blender is not hard to use, it does help to have some experience with
3D software in general. That will help put everything into context.
I actually prefer the old interface, 2.4 and prior. There's really only
a few things you need to learn, shortcuts mostly, to be productive
with it. Its definitely well worth the effort.

Just sayin...

Speak of the unspoken: GarageBand.

Got a new MBP for work, fired it up. No friggin' idea how to control it. Not having an audio interface on usb or thunderbolt does not help either. But browsing through the loops library already keeps me entertained for 15 minutes or so.

Thanks, you're really giving me hope and motivation to try.
