I’ve been looking over this site for a couple days and going over the features, guides and forum posts, but I have a question that I need answered before I start messing with the free version to see if it meets my needs.
I’m conducting an experiment with music to see how music and sounds from instruments or synthesized sounds degrade when they travel through other medium over distance (like water to sand and different pressures). So my main needs are being able to record different instruments.
I’ve also been really interested in starting to mix with samples and such and I figured if I get some interesting effects I can use those to start composing music. I was planning on using Audacity, but it doesn’t have the looping and sequencing I want, which Podium sounds like it’d be a great match.
As a budding sound artist, what would you recommend for starting out? I plan on using sounds I record more than generating them, but using different effects to transform them.
Thank you for your advice.
(By the way I am incredibly impressed in the community support on this site. You do the internet proud.)
