Would anyone be willing to lay out their experiences with DAWs? Preferably free ones? I tried waveform, but I’m thinking I’m going to use Cakewalk. A lot of people say Reaper, but the UI seems lackluster. What do yo think?

A few years ago, I switched from Logic to Reaper and haven’t looked back. Reaper may not be particularly pretty, but it is incredibly powerful. If Reaper’s look is a drag for you though, try out some different themes, like the Reapertips theme. Reaper is also cross-platform, so you aren’t beholden to macOS or Windows, and it runs on Linux.
Every now and then I feel a bit of envy for the modular sound design I see people do in Ableton or Bitwig, but there’s very little that I haven’t been able to replicate in Reaper, and when I need to, I use Cardinal for more intense modular sound design.
