HONESTLY, there are already a few good DAWs out there, FL Studio being my favorite, and after playing with this one, there doesn't seem to much here that isn't offered in other platforms . It was confusing when I first attempted to use the program, and I've been messing with DAWs for close to a decade now. I thought it would be a little easy to jump into and the ONLY REASON I am even using it, is because of its compatibility with the Raspberry Pi. Maybe I am not seeing the benefits of the programmer side, but as someone with a mostly musical background whos interested in programming, this was hard and didn't offer much that would make me turn away from other software. ALSO I'm BIG on UI when it comes to these programs. The UI has an outdated look and feel As much as I've been around the local music scene, most people using these programs aren't mixing and mastering rock music and stuff, these are younger people making rap and hip hop beats, sampling, slowing down the tempo (chopping and screwing), recording with what they got. This seems too technical for people that I'm around, and don't get me wrong, I'm around people who have put out quality music. I just honestly can't see any of my homies picking this app up while they are already trying to mimic professional artist with Reason, or FL. It reminds me of the audio recording software Cool Edit Pro, which is laughable because it came out in '03. Who exactly is this program for? I can't imagine Drake, Post Malone, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Mark Ronson, or even the underground scene using this. Is it mostly for people with programming backgrounds, or someone like me, desperate for a DAW on the raspberry pi?
It's an affordable linear daw. It works well and is stable.
Where did you even get the idea that it was for programmers?
Im surprised it runs on a raspberry pi at all, but i seriously doubt that's a major consideration. Most people would think it's insane to run any major production off a pi.
It's not the same kind of workflow as reason or FL studio or bitwig or ableton. It's not meant to work that way.
