That looks brilliant thanks for posting!

spacedogg:
Superb stuff Ramshackles. The Reaper DAW looks excellent. I'm certainly gonna give it a try.

Ramshackles:
I tried Reaper a little while ago and back then it was very capable but a little lacking in its editing utilities compared to the commercial daws. People say it has improved no end since then.

Again - if you have any useful links, post here and ill add them to the list!

tone:
Great post Ramshackles - I've made it into a sticky :)
