If you had to cheat on Buzz...

Post by Willy »

Which free or inexpensive DAW with VST support would you use for electronic music?

I tried LMMS, not my thing.

Buzé! :D

Or

Traction for cheap/inexpensive, Bitwig for expensive option.

If it's not done in Buzz, it gets done in REAPER.

You can still have a proper editor in Reaper thanks to scripting and this guy.

Made a song tonight with it. If it was mouse clickable it would be amazing.

If I had to cheat on Buzz, it would probably be with NerdSeq.

Then I'd just have to stumble upon a few thousand dollars to spend on a Eurorack system, and I'd have a fully functional modular tracker once again!

Ditto. Reaper's my go-to for recording live instruments/vox, otherwise I've used Buzz for so long that I'm more comfortable in its interface.

Buzz and Audacity. Though I've mastered albums using Traverso DAW a couple of times.

But basically I work with Buzz for all of my experimental, space rock & other oddities that I create.

Presonus Studio One sorry Buzz... but still going back to my old tunes taking large chunks and turning them into new tracks. I wish Buzz would be a VSTi that I could use for sound design/mangling in S1.

I also would go for Reaper, it's also cool that there is a tracker script now, very nice.

Nothing I have ever tried has the ease of use with the sequencing. I can pump out a sequence in no time on buzz and then use any VST or sample or native buzz instrument or effect. It's still the best for me all these years later. The combo of the tracker interface with the sequence view and then the modularity is still the best I've used. I am sure other DAWS could do it too, but I just couldn't get on with piano roll and I am too lazy to try to learn if they have any tracker option or maybe like a sheet music option? I dont know

My ultimate dream would be to have Finale or Sibelius as the sequencer, but controlling jeskola buzz machines and VSTs. As a native sequencer, though, no complicated MIDI stuff

I am 99% sure it's just because I am stuck in my ways though

For those of you on REAPER that miss the modularity of buzz...

It's a work in progress, it's not perfect and not everything carries over, but some of the essence is there :)

Next up: The sequencer (but this may be a while!)
