Hmmm, I wonder why that is? Maybe because Musicians spend very valuable time learning and honing their craft to a level that button pushers could only hope to achieve?
And remember this, if it werent for real musicians, playing real instruments, there would have never been the first “sample”!
Think about it, and be respectful to real musicians! You certainly owe them that Mr. DJ!

In your Dreams they maybe play Instruments and record them. Every professional Studio work with virtual Instruments today. It´s faster and more cheap than get a Musician to play anything.

They’re called musicians who actually play their “real” instruments. And not just putting loops together…

Don’t understand people watching DJs on stage pushing on buttons.

IT IS FREAKIN FREE!

Podium should work equally well for audio recording and virtual instruments. But if you don’t like Podium’s workflow (and don’t mind investing a bit of money), then your best bet would probably be to purchase Reaper. Make sure to try the free trial version first, though.

Studio One is excellent for recording and mixing, however the free version doesn’t support VST plugins. The paid version is somewhat pricey compared to Reaper.

If one is using 16 bit wave files (stop laughing, you!) is a better DAW like Studio One or plugins that are more
subtle like Tokyo Dawns stuff for mastering and EQ going to make a diff?

I am just interested in others opinions here.

thanks!
