That's a first.Rapid Composer: The Missing Manual 2. With Reaper, I've been able to give collaborators much more exact deadlines, and been able to keep them too. Best friendly and tolerant place! Even the hard personality types on this forum shows some tolerance. Best ever support, not the least in the form of this forum. I can't even tell the difference between working with old 32s and modern 64s in Reaper. Be it 32-bit or really old ones, even directX. This includes both application settings, project data, even customization data. Best backup and restore functionalities of any application I've tried. In other DAWs you're stuck with the work process and layout the developer thinks you should use. It's even has got its own terminal prompt where you can run commands or batch processes onto whatever you need to do. In Reaper you can do anything with anything. Nothing improves your music/work more effectively than adapting everything to what you always need to do. So if something doesn't work, you know it's user error - as much as I sometimes hate to admit that. You know there's nothing going on behind the curtain, that can mess up. No automated 'behind the curtain oversimplification process BS', which again makes it very predictable. Nobody on their forum or their support were neither surprised nor could help, at all. It shares all of this with no other DAW I've ever tried during my 30+ years on different DAWs.Ĭubase 8 used to crash 5-6 times a day for me (on a good day), no matter how many weeks of errorsearching I did. But you always know, it will safely come back around. It can remain frozen for 30 or up to 60 seconds. Sometimes plug-ins don't respond or locks the application up in some process incompatibility meaning Reaper kindof freezes. It crashes and mucks up extremely(!) seldom, and always for a strong reason that's easy to find and adjust. It is still the most stable application (all categories) that I've ever used. Sure, it does crash - every once in a bluemoon at least if you run the crap out of it on an everyday basis like me. I can run easily 3 times as many instruments/plugs as in Cubase et. So, BTW, a big THANK YOU to all you supporters!!!! I do scoring now in MuseScore, don't miss the score editor. Fast, ultra flexible, extreme helpful user community, lovely skins. Fell in love with it after a short (but steep) learning curve. :-)īought Reaper as an alternative for mobile recording (no key!!). I don't do anything in "Pattern" style, reminded me of old Notator days BTW. Tried Ableton but it's useless for my kind of music. And twice a week the f**king dongle (protect key) wouldn't be recognized. I was constantly juggling with the different channel types. I started hating it when they came with the "Instrument Channels". Never found a smooth work flow with the "e" button. All these little extra windows, an extra window for everything (F11). Drove me crazy, this "Environment" with the little cables. Got me Logic Audio Platinum + AudioWerk8 sound card. Later ProTools: Never liked it, my first interface - IO-882 was it called like that? - had to be opened and I had to manually cut a lead on the PCB?!? When Digidesign was acquired by Avid I jumped and sold everything. Well, you cant compare that with today's DAWs.
