Notepad++ - This is the definitive notepad-related software you’ll ever need. Multiple tabs, keeps tracks of lines, lots of features and preferences. One of the most invaluable parts of it, is that you can close it or a update happens or maybe your PC will get knocked offline. You can come back to Notepad++, open it, and everything will be retained.
Reaper
Any good tutorials? I want to get into it but all the features can be a bit daunting.
There are quite a few yt channels extensively showing of usage.
The most-helpful thing for me was to accept that just because it’s there, doesn’t mean I need it or have to use it. And if I ever do, it’ll be there waiting for me. It’s okay if you only need a handful of its features. I’m not sure there’s a person alive who can truly maximize Reaper, it can do so much.
As in the DAW ?
Yep! I put off trying it for years, but it’s a powerhouse. Can’t say enough good about it. Something like $30 for a lifetime license (but you can use full version free forever without paying anything), it’s so fast, it’s so customizable, it’s rock-solid, it’s just the best. It’s my ride-or-die DAW bitch now.
