I did a bunch of research before buying a DAW and Reaper struck me as the most principled and generally well-designed option among those I found.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; powerful, which means there is a bit of a learning curve, but it can do everything you want it to, and it has nice stuff like really solid scripting support (lua, python, and some DSL).&lt;p&gt;I record like 20-30 audio tracks at a time from my rackmount setup and reaper handles it no problem.&lt;p&gt;Very much worth the $60.</text><parent_chain><item><author>kamranjon</author><text>For those that might have struggled with Ardour or were looking for something just a bit more professional on Linux, I recommend Reaper - it&amp;#x27;s a one time purchase and in my opinion about as good as it gets on Linux: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.reaper.fm&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.reaper.fm&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>FreeBSD Home Audio Studio</title><url>https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2023/03/02/freebsd-home-audio-studio/</url></story>
