About the booklet
You don't need an expensive studio or a room full of musicians to begin making music.
The Band You Can Afford is a practical, 24-page guide to building a virtual band using REAPER and freely available instruments.
From strings and brass to drums, bass and synthesisers, it explains how to move beyond collecting plugins and actually finish a piece of music.
The booklet covers composition, MIDI, expressive performance, arrangement, basic mixing and preparing a recording for release.
REAPER is the only paid software in the recommended setup. All additional software in the core workflow is free at the stated publication date.
