I use Cockos Reaper, it is an extremely cheap DAW and you can customise it with its own built in language JS Script (NOT javascript). You can also make your own plugins with JS if commercial ones aren't cutting it. Aside from that, development is extremely active and it seems to work with anything I throw at it. It's like the equivalent of VLC but for musicians. I highly recommend it, or atleast for you to check it out
edit: Reaper now has an API for Python 2.7 and upwards. It now has 3 languages all together (C++ API, Python API, JS) Hopefully this'll speed up the mundane parts of creating a session.
another edit: Just thought I'd mention that I used to use Cubase but I have moved for a few reasons:
Always requires a dongle to use it (unless of course you are using a 'trial' version)
Plugin support is downright horrible - several highly praised plugins would cause cubase to crash frequently.
MIDI editing is unintuitive, to process MIDI as if it were audio, you have to bounce it down to a .WAV. In reaper, everything is treated the same, you can use an audio plug-in on MIDI or audio
Lastly, Steinberg/Cubase are not nearly as community driven as Reaper. So many third-party tools are created for Reaper to get rid of the boring details of file-management so you can do what you set out to do in the first place, make music.
Would if I could. Mind explaining what OGG is? What would be the process of converting my songs to OGG? I did google OGG but it was mostly uber technical details rather than useful information.
Nice :D
Hi, I'll try and get OGG's up in the next few days. I've just found out that Reaper does support writing to an OGG format.

If it helps, my DAW of choice is Cockos Reaper
I thank you for your endless stellar contributions. You've probably improved hundreds of in-development games with placeholder art
Nice, it reminds me of the art style of 'Age of Wonders'.
I was just wondering, what will it take for me to get that copy of Civ IV off your hands?
Hopefully in the next few months I can scramble some money to throw your way. I've just put a deposit down on a house so it won't be for a while :(
Hello all!
I have finally added the drum loop separate from the rest of the song.
Maybe when I have my audio interface/computer fixed I'll do a complete acoustic cover :D
I have a mandolin which I dabble with so I could maybe pull it off...
