Re: [Harp-L] Recording Software Opinions

In my view for intuitive use you cannot beat garageband, but you need  
a mac to run it. I know people who have never used audio software  
before who get it to work in less than an hour. Garageband is miles  
better than audacity. Its only serious limit is that you are  
restricted to recording on one channel at a time (I think).
Apple have also bought the Logic system and offer Logic Studio and  
Logic Express at reasonable prices. These are likely to be even better  
in terms of features and the reviews suggest that they are also very  
intuitive to use. There are reasons why many music and film pros use  
macs.

One can now do audio mixing and editing tasks in 2 minutes that took  
hours if not days 25 years ago.
