My friend is trying to help me learn Reaper but it doesn't make any sense at all. The words and terminologies may as well be in a different language and we've installed like 12 addons trying to get something as simple as adding notes from a virtual MIDI keyboard to the project but it's just a brick-wall of software for me. Doesn't matter what I do or where I click it just doesn't make the tiniest lick of sense.
I have a physical keyboard that I can plug into a little MIDI program but that program doesn't record audio just streams it through my headset.
Can anyone please recommend some software with a good UI and decent capabilities that is essentially just made for babies? I don't need any of the unnecessary complicated things I just want to make music and for the software to be in plain English.
