That’s one of the reasons why Renoise was so compelling to me when I purchased it and then later Redux. I’ve certainly shopped around myself to maximise what I get for the little I wanted to pay. I fully understand your position and getting bang for your buck is important. Mastering studios are saying like $500 dollars per track for pro mastering…its too much, probably hand out CD for free for the detailed reply. I cant even use monitors where I live or when travelling so I have to do everything on headphones…I cant pay $500 for headphones either so its like I ned to get the best bang for the buck or whatever special deals, good prices, or build up to only do live stuff but I would like to hand out CDs if I was playing live… Its not the same as back in the day when you could get away with making a beat MPC only…things always sound so pro these days. I’m not sure if its because they have infinite money for mastering every track professionally in a studio or if its because they really understand mastering. Peoples work sounds so glossy, high quality these days. I just want to get high quality recordings of guitar, percussion, maybe dijeridoo and whatever can be miced up over my synth backing tracks which are done in renoise…the backing tracks are good enough quality already imo, but its a different story when it comes to using mics and pickups or whatever shit…cant be too expensive, cant be heavy / non portable, needs to be touch controlled

Trying to keep it all as lightweight as possible whilst being as good as it can be too. It seems like acid was going to be one of the standards back in the day, but then it just flopped / fell off…so I’m worried if I invest a lot of time into reaper it might have the same problem in the future…Īlso I want to travel and produce so I dont want something that requires sitting at a desk with a keyboard + mouse + midi keyboard + audio midi interface.

I dont understand the choice to only allow cubasis to run on ipads…

I would definitely choose cubasis if it ran on windows 10 tablets. Thats why I keep on leaning towards cubasis, as it is new, touch controlled, portable ( runs on a tablet ) and by reliable industry standard type developer / software company… but I just dont want the price and annoyance of apple products. I want something that is quite future-proof and with reliable developers behind it too though. I cant afford a super powerful computer and an expensive license for protools, cubase or ableton. I guess I’m looking at only those three because of the price.
