Heh heh, thanks Michael. I grew up on Python, and it probably had a huge influence on my love for British humour.
Back to the OP subject, I'm currently trying to learn how to use Audacity with Guitar Rig 4, and I'm a total idiot when it comes to home recording. I just checked out the Reaper website, and it's extremely reasonable for a DAW. I may try it out as well.
-Sean
Guitars: Lots.
Amphs: More than last year.
Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.
So on this note, have any of you recording enthusiasts ever used Audacity? My advice to Sean was going to be to stick with Audacity until he had the basics of recording down, because its simplistic interface and lack of options makes it much easier to navigate. I realized that I've never actually used any 'real' DAW, so it could be that they're all easier to use while also providing more options.
I always assumed the rabbit hole just got deeper and wider as you ventured into more pro-type applications, but I don't really know.
Back to the OP, I've been interested in using Ardour among DAWs for a while too, but if I ever have more advanced needs I will definitely try out Reaper.
