Ita not free but I use bitwig after a decade of ableton use.
Discussion
There is also reaper, qtractor, and ardour
Bitwig on which distro, please?
Pop OS is my current daily driver. Its debian based.
I've used debian for a couple of years. How much does bitwig cost, please?
Imo urm 400$ normally but they run sales often and you can get it for around 300$. It's extremely reasonable for a full-fledged daw considering Ableton charges around $1,000 for their full suite.
No problem.
Among the DAWs you refered, Ardour attracts me most because it's free, and i'm a novice.
Any suggestion, @enko?
I dont really have an educated opinion on ardour because I've never used it. 😅
I've checked it from there site.
