Hi Folks!
I wrote to the list a little while ago regarding the Reaper Audio Production
software for Mac, as I said at the time the software seemed incredibly
accessible and my view has not changed since.
One thing has come my way which has helped me understand Reaper more than I did
a week ago
Hi,
Regarding the use of the line in source of your mac, As reliable as this input
is, I would consider the use of an external soundcard with 1/4in cables
(standard jack) or XLR for microphone use. you get a better audio support
range.
Reaper is a pretty decent package and is good for someone
Thanks for that, I was using this for example sake more than anything else and
you're quite right, I usually use a Fastrak Mixer and other devices.

Actually you can click select destination and do that. I did the source and

I don't believe dropbox main purpose was to replace your external drive. It
is to place files you can share with others that are normally to large to
send via email. Though it can be handy if you need to upgrade your OS and
need a quick place to temporarily store inportant documents.
