@bandithedoge:matrix.orgbandithedogethere's no "best" daw for everyone so just ignore the holy daw wars that producers love08:59:52
@rfvizarra:matrix.orgrfvizarraI guess that in my case having an intuitive interface will help to reach my goal09:00:39

In your experience, what makes a DAW better than another one? I'm so new to this I don't have a minimal criteria to compare them

Documentation and tutorials are a massive comparison point for a new-comer, being older leads them to being more mature and having a more robust community.

Every DAW is different, for what you spoke about as a use case, REAPER will get you what you want the quickest, nothing beats double clicking to add a track, load a plugin, arm the track with your midi controller and have at it

My advice is to start with REAPER, check its extensive tutorials over at reaper.fm, and if after a week you want to check something else, hop and try to redo your workflow and see which you like best

09:00:56
@bandithedoge:matrix.orgbandithedogetry out a bunch of daws and see which workflow works for you best, just don't turn it into a religion09:01:58
@bandithedoge:matrix.orgbandithedogereaper is often considered a good beginner's daw but it has a great scripting engine with a big community09:03:55
@bandithedoge:matrix.orgbandithedoge(plus you can use all of its features for free if you don't mind waiting 5 seconds to close the dialog box)09:04:32
@rfvizarra:matrix.orgrfvizarraCool!, I have some thing to try and learn!. Thank you guys for your help!09:05:48

not sure about pianoteq but many plugins also have standalone versions
09:12:07
@rfvizarra:matrix.orgrfvizarraPianoteq has a standalone application, but it doesn't run under NixOS09:12:32
@rampoina:matrix.orgRampoinayeah but the lv2 was suggested to make it easier09:12:39
@rfvizarra:matrix.orgrfvizarrathat I why I was looking for to install the Pianoteq Nixos package09:12:48
@rfvizarra:matrix.orgrfvizarra * that is why I was looking for to install the Pianoteq Nixos package09:13:12

dynamically linked executables compiled by someone else won't "just work" on nixos
09:13:43
@rfvizarra:matrix.orgrfvizarraThat I learnt the ward way :D09:14:16
@bandithedoge:matrix.orgbandithedogetake a look at https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Packaging/Binaries09:14:49
@bandithedoge:matrix.orgbandithedogei recommend https://github.com/thiagokokada/nix-alien if you just want to quickly run something09:15:29
