    I'm not sure what to add to that title . . . but if someone was looking for straight-up recording/tracking with the intention of exporting stems . . . I think MixPad support 3rd Party Plugins and MIDI, which might make it more useful than Audacity and Audition in some respects . . .

    Any thoughts?

    hot take: all apps by NCH are poop.

    i wouldnt use it, its just software, which has its limitation and it can be really annoying.

    Mac?
    if you want free, then Garageband is,
    if you want versatility, then just use Reaper

    Not everything NCH software are poop poop poop... :bleh:

    Crescendo Masters is a good software to start writing music.
    Certainly 'Finale' is unattainable... but Crescendo Masters is a good first proposition for a beginner and also works well & easy on guitar chord grids.
    Just to start writing the first scores in the life and then, once you've learned the job, move on to Finale. :winker:

    My 5 cents

    I wish I could get by with GarageBand . . . other artists have limited themselves to that DAW and put out some hit songs. But every time I try to get going, I am limited by the metering and the painful workarounds to edit the audio . . . even finding the files to edit on an external editor. Logic is a bloated mess for the likes of me, offering WAY too many things that I would never use. It's got a clean interface, but then . . .
    So, I thought I'd take a peek at this and see what others, who I respect, think. ;-)
    I have another DAW that I really like, but being an equipment junkie, I always have one eye open for the next fix!
