I love how simple and efficient it is. It has an incredible array of features and is very customizable. I love the fact that you can buy it for 60 dollars. So much value for so little money! Its cheap, versatile, messy but elastic midi, mono audio, 5. It has tone of features in almost every department, well, besides samples and instruments When I started dipping my toes into modular, I realized how much control and customization I had over it.
Ultimately it has influenced my work in such a way that I seek out ways to apply it to my workflow. Enter: Reaper. It's sleek, easy to use, impossible to fully understand, and can be redesigned by the user to do almost anything. It's not quite where I want it to be yet, but all in all I feel as though it's the ultimate DAW, and look forward to the day it replaces Ableton for me. Just hit record and start.
But with the Community expansion behind reaper you can shape reaper perfectly to fits your workflow. That means you can transform reaper to an electronic music daw, or if you want, you can transform reaper to a mixing and Mastering Daw too.
But without extensions it's just a basic Recording daw with midi compatibility. Reaper has been an absolute joy to work in! The stock setup is not that user friendly but Reaper is so customizable that you set the pace for what your workflow will be.
An absolute steal for the price they charge for small businesses. The PDC plugin delay compensation has been rock solid in my time using it. Key commands are super customizable so you can have your favorite plugins on the tips of your fingers!!! Easy learning curve, very useful training info and videos available, the online user base is the most active for additional free support, incredibly powerful and customizable. For Pro Tool users there are skins that mimic the look, feel, and user quick-keys.
Your license is also very portable to any desktop you happen to be using whether Windows, Mac OS, or Linux. There is no expense or hassle with an iLok USB dongle for piracy control required either, that is a huge win for easy of use. From mission-critical professional environments to students' laptops, there is a single version of REAPER, fully featured with no artificial limitations. Frequency varies, but updates are typically released every few weeks. These updates include bug fixes, feature improvements, and significant new features, all of which are free.
Updates only take a minute or so. All preferences and configurations are preserved, and forward and backward compatibility are maintained. Efficient, fast to load, and tightly coded. Can be installed and run from a portable or network drive. On a side note, that PT8 must be a major bitch considering you guys are paying for those updates. Reaper updates come every couple of weeks. Soon we'll be on version 3.
Peace Illumination. I've been using Sonar Producer since version 5, moved up to 6 later on mostly. Also have registered copies of Live and Tracktion. Also work with various Linux audio apps. I've done a bit of research and have been trying out Reaper the last few days. Quite honestly this program is enough to make the most hard core users take a serious look at using this as a main daw. The routing is bar none super. I see a few areas that would need some work. But by far an easy to use software for those experienced with the more complex daws.
A few days more of working with this for verifying the stablility and I'll most likely purchase a license to support the effort. I believe that if they keep improving the software, that it would be a great contender for some of the more complex software's on the market. The issue I have with professional high end daw software is their upgrade pricing.
Which I why I decided to look for a more cost effective solution. You would think that paying 5 to 6 bills for software would allow a better pricing structure for further upgrading. Especially when the upgrades fix, or attempt to resolve issues in prior versions. Last edited by rjs; 11th February at AM..
Reason: added hardware info. Good luck with that I'm new to reaper Took me a few try before getting use to it. For now i mainly compose in it. It handles cpu and multicore way better than Sonar. I can work with a 64 buffer with not problem what so ever. The stretch algorythm are simply awsom. If they can work on the visual aspect i would definitely be more than happy. I currently hate the Mix window console view. Reaper's Look. My Studio. I use Reaper for live remote tracking and it's spotless and very reliable for that Reaper is a fine Daw, but i don't think it's fully ready to replace the majors yet.
It will get there soon though I definitely prefer Protools for mixing and recording plus I work with so many majors and artists that using anything else then PT for the final session is not even an option. Tey need to leave the studio with something any other studio can open and it's just not possible with Reaper. I however love some of the functions such as the VST search filed I'm gettin PT I hope that will be the answer Now that is interesting What up my dude! Few things.
You try the skins out? And regarding the mixer pane have u tried it expanded? U get your sends returns, busses, inserts etc The only thing missing is the eq but I prefer using it in the fx window since u get a way better gui compared to some little knobs. The great thing about Reaper is that by next month it won't be the same daw, only better. I can't wait.
