Three theses for ia, after he bought his DAW: 1. A big sample buffer is good for mixing, because the CPU is free for real-time effects. 2. A small sample buffer size is good for live recordings and USB live input. 3. The lower the buffer size, the less the DAW can handle (tracks). Would you agree, or punish me?
Just go for Reaper, simple. Insane DAW, very light on CPU, amazing customize features, extremely low priced for what you get. Great sounding factory plugins. Reaper community is the most friendly and helpful of all daw communities. Reaper devs bring out updates weekly and will help you personally with any issues. Editing workflow can be incredible fast, by using macro actions and scripts. Peace.
