i know you favour the computer route, but last night I tried to use Reaper. The first thing that popped up was this, needless to say I hadn't got a clue. I'm guessing that doesn't happen with the hardware option?
I might have to. Just looking at options at the moment. But there are reasons, like being able to have a separate office and recording space. Not having to worry about updates, downloads and drivers, and latency etc.
Is there a hardware multi-track recorder, that can be hooked up to a monitor?
So that what you are doing can be seen on a proper screen rather than on the little window they all have?
Does such a thing exist?
