This is what bath time at my house is like these days. Although I do refrain (with difficulty) from singing about poop. Also, I’ve exchanged the acoustic guitar for a four string Irish tenor banjar which is tuned like a mandolin or a violin — so it’s a helpful configuration for its multitudednessocity.
My studio mate downloaded this software for the studio. We’ve been using it instead of Cubase for the past month or so. Works pretty good and its design a little sleeker than Cubase. The price can’t be beat since you can download it for free and volunteer to pay for the truly affordable license (60 bucks –Cubase will set you back five hundred bucks or so). Reaper also has a strong developer community, almost open source. I like that a lot.
I’m a freelance software developer. As a freelancer I bounce around a lot between different software platforms. I spend a lot of time on licensed platforms like Microsoft’s asp.net. But I also spend a lot of time with open source projects using php-based stuff like Joomla. You’ll pull your hair out figuring out some puzzles no matter which platform you use. And you’ll likely find your answer trolling some forum either way. But the zeal and communitynessocity of the open source stuff adds a layer of feelgoodednessesity which is important.
This all leads me to ponder the entrance of a new sort of record label –an open source initiative where all the unsigned artists on the label have complete access to each others’ stuff and so forth; the way my daughter takes my bathroom songs and makes them her own.
I love you.
Does that mean I’m on the guest list come December?
Indeed, it does.
