    I want to get this started quick and dirty with a setup that is not daunting in terms of learning curve nor price.

    If Reaper works you won't go far wrong - coming from any other DAW to it won't be jarring. I went from being a long time Cubase user to it with zero regrets, straight away it was comfortable and intuitive. Recommended without reservation.

    Fwiw, when I was doing stuff with DAWs it was mostly doing things that you could, in theory at least (like insanely labour intensively) do using tape - mainly cutting truncating and pitch shifting, using the timeline as a sample arranger - and Reaper was great for this. Haven't done any music in ages (building headphones has been my main creative outlet for the last couple of years) but always telling myself I'll get back to it.

    I wonder why they've chosen to get a Bandcamp when their Bleep site does/has everything already - cheaper hosting than their Cloudfront cloud maybe ?

    Yeah man it's marketing basically. Another place to get the music in the face. Fine.

    have some faith in bandcamp. i'm sure they'll do a feature story on a new label like warp joining bandcamp but i expect they will maintain their mission to support/feature/promote independent artists and small labels. i think they will continue to dance w/the date that brought them to the dance. 

    this also may send out some waves to attract more labels etc to bandcamp so we'll see how that turns out.  there's already other boutique and niche labels on bandcamp though. ghostly etc.. 

    i'm still going to buy from bleep or directly from labels like raster noton etc though..  i already have an account there and i like the preorder deals and direct communication etc. 

    I have to say, as it stands I love Bandcamp. But I do wish someone would step up as a proper competitor to keep them honest.

    So far BCs instincts have been spot on with regards to serving the needs of artists while also getting theirs in a sustainable way, but the VC backing behind it gives me pause. I always wonder when they're going to turn.
