'Dad, there's a man at the door with a bald head!'
'Well, tell him I've got one...'
'Well, tell him I've got one...'
Then there's this - from the guy that designed a lot of the analog stuff at National and Linear Tech - Bob Widlar ... I'm surprised no one posted this yet. It's an actual ad from way back when... http://www.worldofindie.co.uk/?p=1660

Then there's the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) called Reaper. It competes with the bigboys like Protools. Was written by Justin Frankel (the guy that wrote Winamp) and at this point just blows away most other DAW's. This guy did a vid where he talks about how much "better" Protools is as compared to that stinky old Reaper. Some funny shit.
And here's a vid that shows whey Reaper is so good - the motivation of the guy that wrote it. He got over $50 million dollars when AOL bought Winamp - then they got pissed at him for some of the other stuff he did.
at 3:50 Where Justin states:
"when I left [AOL after they bought Winamp], I came away from it wanting to avoid that in the future; wanting to just make things for the sake of making them .. and not have to constantly justify everything with business decisions/motivations. The ability to just make software for the purpose of making it... for the end goal of making something that's really powerful and enjoyable to use"
Wow - doing shit for the right reasons. How unusual nowadays in this world of man bun, Java jockey, Pitiful Python Pirates that wouldn't know a CPU register if it hit them in the forehead.
Oh - and here's another cool thing - most DAW's like Protools, Studio One, etc... are gigabyte installers.
Reaper? 14 Mbytes - yep MEGAbytes. I thought it was a stub installer. Nope, it's everything including 7:1 mixing, a 32 bit wrapper for older 3rd party plugins (of which the big boys CAN'T do) and a bunch of plugins. Totally tweakable and skinable
Now THAT's some who knows how to write good, stable, low-level code - just like coders did back in the day - - when they too were doing stuff for the right reasons. - my rant here: http://www.ajawamnet.com/ajawamnet/mama_i_wanna_be_a_maker.html

And Reaper offers a zillion free vids from Kenny Gioia
check out some of his instructional stuff - just blows away ANY software companies documentation or training. I've worked with dozens of musicians that have been able to get productive within days.
