[musictlk] recording: Reaping with OSARA

[NAGDU President]

Dear All,

	I want to let everyone know a bit about the idfferences between
Audacity and other Digital Audio Work Stations (DAWS). Audacity is a fully
functional multi-track recorder and it works well with JAWS. The challenge
is that is does not work well with audio interfaces, as you get a lot of
latency when overdubbing to additional tracks unless you are using the
on-board sound card. Most audio interfaces use the ASIO drivers and, as
mentioned, Audacity has such a high latency it is impossible to record
additional tracks while listening to the ones already recorded. Latency
refers to the time it takes for what you are recording to process through
the mic, the software, and be heard in your ears.

	An excellent alternative is a DAWS called REAPER and a digital audio
interface. Reaper is a fully functional DAWS available on an evaluation
basis for 60 days. The reality is that you could evaluate it forever,
something I believe is unethical but it could be done. The evaluation
version is the full version; it is not a stripped down program and it will
not lose functionality as you use it like some other products. I know Sonar
and CakeTalk will run you nearly $1000 but you can get REAPER for $65 and
the JAWS scripts, known as OSARA for free. There is also an awesome course
called "Reaping with OSARA" YOU CAN TAKE FOR ONLY $150. If anyone is
interested in learning more about REAPER and OSARA or the course, please
feel free to write to me off-list to

Also, if there are any people interested in some online collaboration of
music, I would like to chat with you, as well!

Fraternally yours,
Marion

Dale. 
This sounds interesting  
How much does it cost? 
 If it is not too ridiculous, I might consider   looking into into getting
one in the future.

Evelyn,
Thanks for this tip. I did call Olympus and it would appear this will do
what I need it to do. I will need sighted assistance to set up the speaking
menus (though the tech person was willing to assist over the phone) so this
will be a job saver for me.
Thanks
Dale
