I'm a newbie here to HW and to serious organ playing, but not to Macs, DAWs, controllers keyboards etc. I am using the free version, but have posted here because I think this is where I will find answers. I have researched a lot of the forum, but can't quite find what I need.
I got HW because I wanted a great pipe organ soft instrument. I hoped it would plug in to Garageband, etc, just like my Pianoteq, Farfisa combo, Minimoog etc etc, then I read the instructions, and it looked like I would need to use Reaper. Not my fav' DAW, in the past on PC. I was brought up on Cubase. So I downloaded Reaper, but when I load The St Annes, I get a blank page. I have plenty of reverbs so the linking for that doesn't appeal. I have searched this section of the forum, and been pointed to pages around 189 et sequence,in the manual, and I think I will find what I need there. The trouble is I have a slight learning problem, and it takes me a while to assimilate stuff. So I thought I would ask here, to check if I am on the right track. Will it be possible to open up HW inside Reaper or any other DAW as a plugin soft instrument? I'm just looking for somebody to tell me I am not wasting my tims, before I delve in to virtual midi cables etc' I am using a Nektar Panorama P6, into a Mac. I do have an m audio controller, M audio interface, and a Kurweil available, but due to another project I don't want to mess with my setp too much just yet. I can play the standalone St Annes with no issues, except that I can't stop the midi demo playing when I try to record audio.
I know I could play organ parts in reaper or Garageband, then use the midi file created to play in standalone and record that as audio, then export it back into the DAW as an audio file. But I'd prefer not to have to.
So grateful for any feedback, sorry to be that, "hello i'm new here, no tell me, this and this and this please."
Also keen to know if any member in Fife Scotland or nearby. Can't find any in member search. J
