So, whats cool about reaper?
I know the dev has his shit down and runs it pretty much alone, which is impressive, but can it stand up to the big guys?

Yeah i suppose that was a pretty nondescript question. Are the native plugins/ fx good? Is the sampler good? Does it do automation curves properly? (big turnoff in ableton for me)

native plugins work, but theyre not something one would use if they had the choice.

and yes, automation curves is fine & pretty damn easy to use.

I have a choice of various eqs, samplers, compressors, etc.
But I still use the stock Rea plugins.
They're simple to use and transparent as hell.

I was also thinking of the compressor, the X-band compressor, and the EQ. It also comes with non-cockos plugins, like the master limiter, some bass filters, and a graphical waveshaper.

In England it is possible (though rare) for a criminal case to be heard by a judge alone, without a jury. See link.

these are the dons of the MIDI arena. It seems like it has a promising future ahead of it if it can sort out the MIDI editing, nice audio features and great software/business model/update philosophy.

cheers
Where did you hear the midi is not as hot as the big players??
I come from Cubase and I prefer Reaper.
Earlier versions of Reaper were lacking some MIDI functionality, but we're talking many versions ago. It's all been more than sorted now.

It can and does. With Reaper, the focus is on having a tight, uber-functional platform that's highly configurable (you can not only make it look anyhow you want, including skins that emulate Logic, Cubase, Neve desks, trackers, you name it - you can also get "under the hood" and tweak internal params, as well as supporting scripting in Python and other scripting languages.) The sound engine is crystal clear too.

The stock plugs in Reaper are bare bones in terms of fancy GUIs, but they're actually quite powerful and you can come up with some serious chains; the fact that they don't have fancy interfaces or animated realtime graphics means there's more processor & memory available for sound, which is what it should really be all about in case you forgot. :6:

And honestly, there are so many good 3rd party plugs and samples out there both free and paid that I'm totally not bothered by Reaper not coming with them.

Again, we're talking about the most lightweight (6MB!) and yet simultaneously robust DAW that the world has ever seen. Just the signal routing options alone blow other DAWs out of the water.

I know. I sound gay for Reaper, don't I? :lol:

But honestly, it changed so much for the better for me - having used FL, Reason, and Acid before. My workflow improved, the songs started coming together faster and better... I cannot say enough good things about it.
