I am becoming very comfortable with Audacity DAW at the moment and have just recorded another track, but I am not going to release it quite yet.
The time has come to create my first ever solo album!
I have enough songs already written for two or three albums so it's a case of studio time, patience and perhaps a little help from my friends here and there.

I plan to buy Reaper eventually. My friend who usually uses Logic Pro says it's easily as good and at only Β£50 it's a bargain too!
Your friend is absolutely correct . Reaper is wonderful.
@KyleL @stueytheround Iβve heard very good things about Reaper. Iβm still using the last build of Sonar Producer personally, mostly out of habit. Still works like a charm. Eventually Iβll probably go to Ableton Live.
Honestly, if it works for you and continues to do the things you need it to do, it's good. I use a number of DAWs for different purposes.
@KyleL Truth is, since Audacity (not sure about Reaper) is available for Linux machines, if ever there's a "proper" Photoshop equivalent, (no, not GIMP) I'm tempted to go Microsoft-free π I used to use Ubuntu 14ish and the only reason I switched back was because GIMP was terrible! π€£
I use Affinity Photo now.
@stueytheround Psssst: "REAPER supports Linux on Intel and ARM architectures, and the Windows version works well with WINE.". π
@stueytheround
Wonderful Audacity is a good basic DAW (Digital Audio Workstation for those as wonder) - now, having said that, you may want to keep an eye open for when the Fork is finally ready (though that seems to be an issue, as I've not seen anything from https://fosspost.org/audacity-fork-needs-help/ yet) other than notes on GiTHub: https://github.com/tenacityteam/tenacity
In the meantime, use it! Enjoy it! and congratulations.
