It's also my main DAW nowadays (along with Mixbus, it's proprietary counterpart from Harrison Consoles). I often give workshops and teach production on Ardour.
ARDOUR VS CAKEWALK TRIAL
You are correct, Reaper is not free (just a indefinite trial period) nor Open Source (though it is Open Source friendly I guess, due to it's scripting capacity). If it's not a course focused on recording/processing/mixing, there are multi-platform, multi-track recorders which run in a browser, which might suffice if you don't need a fully-fledged professional-level DAW.
ARDOUR VS CAKEWALK LICENSE
If it really does make the university uncomfortable, isn't it possible to just add the 60$ license cost onto the price of the course?
That's what most users do anyway - they use it until one day they realise they've fallen in love with it, whether that's in the first month or twelfth. Then impress on the students throughout the course, 'As soon as you realise that you are going to keep using Reaper, whenever that is, please buy it as soon as you can to support the project and respect the terms and conditions'. Inform the university that there's an open-ended nag screen after the evaluation period, and that no security will be circumvented by using it for the year. There's also a huge amount of tutorials and support. And if you stick to native effects and the bundled VSTi, it will be easy to share whole projects to the students. There are lots of good free downloadable VSTi instruments available that you could bundle for the class. It has lots of good native processing plugins (and you can share the FX chains with the students). It's very lean and small, and runs very well on old computers and laptops. A lot of the students might already know Reaper if they've dabbled. Most of your students will appreciate being introduced to Reaper in the long run. On the right-hand side, you can listen to demo tracks to hear the impressive results.For an in-depth audio processing and mixing course? This is especially clear with our hi-hat samples, for instance. Then, we cut most of the necessary sounds out of the grooves, in various velocities, and processed them to deliver samples as realistic as possible. Although doing so is almost impossible, we broke with tradition in sample recording, which calls for capturing every sound individually Instead, our studio drummer played entire grooves. In particular, the innovative functions for creating fills generate very smooth and realistic drum tracks ( see video).īecause we used high-quality cymbals and microphones for the recordings, the crash, ride and hi-hat cymbals sound especially refined and pleasant at various velocities.Īs early as during microphoning of the set and recording of individual samples, we took great care to replicate realistic circumstances. You can choose from thousands of assorted rhythms in the comprehensive Groove Library and compose your own drum accompaniment. The compressors built into the channels give you even more control over the level of compression. Its kick and snare drums come through clearly in any mixing situation – and still sound natural and not overly compressed. But this is exactly where the MT Power Drum Kit is strongest. Either the kick drum suddenly sounds much too slack or fuzzy in the mix, or the snare drum, which initially sounds natural and dynamic in solo mode, suddenly gets lost in the background in the overall mix, drowned out by the guitars and other instruments. Some of the expensive plugins available on the market deliver a highly natural and dynamic drum kit sound as a solo instrument, but many fail as soon as they are supposed to be used for a complete mix in a powerful pop or rock production. This is precisely where many drum sample programs fail. The MT Power Drum Kit Sampler differs from other, expensive drum samplers in that we have already pre-processed the sounds with compressors and EQs to make them a perfect fit for any mix. Samples have been specially recorded and processed to make them ideally suited for use in pop, rock and metal productions. The MT Power Drum Kit is a free drum sampler offering the powerful, high-quality sounds of an acoustic, realistic drum kit. Multi Layer Drum Sampler AU / VST Instrument
