Crazy pricing for a decent digital audio workstation
If you are interested in using your computer to record and edit music, you will need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). I use
Sonar (started out with their earlier application Cakewalk), other people use
Pro Tools. There is a really nice open-source editor called
Audacity.
Harrison has long been known for
high-end mixing consoles. They have a DAW product called MixBus but it has always been priced in the couple-hundred-bucks range putting it out of reach for someone just looking to get started.
From
now through June 12th, the price has been dropped from $219 to $39. Killer deal from a quality company.
Also, from the DAW-osphere,
Tracktion has come back to life as an independent product. It had originally been bought out by Mackie, it lay moribund for a few years and the original developer has now regained control of the product. $60 for the current version.
Both MixBus and Tracktion will run on Windows, Linux and MAC OS 10(Intel).
