Ardour vs. Reaper

This is addressed to somewhat experienced users who worked with both softwares:

What made you choose one over the other on the long run?

I have been with Reaper for quite some time but considering mixing and mastering my next project in Ardour. Not sure if it’s worth putting in the time to learn it from the ground up.

Please don’t make this about free vs. paid software.

Thank you!

I’ve tried Reaper here and there and the workflow seemed a bit intimidating to work around. I’ve gotten so comfortable working in Ardour over the past few years and recent major updates have done a lot to improve things and add useful tools. Doesn’t have as polished of a feel overall compared to Reaper but its quite cohesive.

It’s a general instance, and it will provide us with better redundancy in case of outages and hiatuses! Everything I post will pop up on both, and you can cross-post your submissions to the other instance if you like!

Rules are as follows:

Don’t share other people’s music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
No elitism or bigotry towards other people’s music tastes. Be polite in disagreement.

I will update rules as necessary, but I promise we’ll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!

Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.
