The differences do seem enormous when one first encounters linux. They shrink every install though, but it takes some time for the magic to wear off.

Nice! I need to learn recovery methods. I am so used to scorch earthing an install when it goes wrong, which is not useful.

I guess I can try it, since I did not like, wipe everything.

Yes. The cost is reasonable, and think it is worth it!

Right now I am using Tracktion Waveform, but I do not love it.

I am looking at Reaper, and I do like the workflow, but the way it loads plugins puts me off. Not horrible, I just need to do extra work to make it work.
