It was a sly one

I find all these comments about Reaper not being "easy to use" quite funny.

Imagine if someone who wanted to learn to play a difficult instrument, say the violin, went to the violin maker and told him that the violin is too hard to learn, he has to dumb it down so it is easy. He would be laughed out of the conservatory.

It really is pointless arguing with someone who says Reaper is like this or like that - they are entitled to their opinions, no matter how misinformed or wrong they are.

You cannot make someone like Reaper by arguing with them. The more you argue, the more they will dislike Reaper. The more you expose their ignorance, the more they will scream how crap Reaper is.

I saw him completely drunk with Kamprad in Stockholm few days ago so he probably knows it from the source of all things Ikea. Rumor has it that Kamprad decided to sell his business and use the money to start making gabber/schranz hybrid music in Reaper, with Marc Tenart (Castorama CEO) as his wingman.

Reaper and IKEA wouldn't really mix well anyway. IKEA is actually producing some money.

Go Reaper 5 go.

Whose next at bat? Logic?

Babya Logic is still the best DAW around.

I think you should post that video on every page of this thread from now on.

Oh wait, you did! Amen brother, and god bless.

1. It’ll make you happy if you use video. Support for adding videos to projects is a big feature of Reaper, and now it’s massively improved, including powerful features for decoding and displaying video with high resolution, high performance playback.

2. It has an entire script development environment, built in. Okay, this is pretty geeky, but developers get richer-than-ever options for Lua scripting right in the DAW – including their own IDE. If you don’t code, the upshot is, the people who do can do it more quickly and reliably – and then you can use their scripts to save time. There are tons of API additions, too.

3. It handles multichannel media really well. This lets you edit more easily with formats like Ambisonics.

4. It’s insanely powerful at automation. Automation is recorded per take, and now includes various performance enhancements. It’s sample-accurate with VST3 and JSFX. (We have black MIDI; maybe black VST can be a thing?) All of this can be managed from the Project Bay, too.

5. It’ll keep time however you like. Custom metronome beat patterns ticks away as you want, and a ruler can now accurately display time signature, tempo, and highly accurate video frame info.

6. It’s got a prettier theme. More theme customization options, too.

7. You can group controls. Link track controls wherever you want in the signal flow.

8. It adds MIDI control. MIDI note off velocity is editable, and there are new options for more precisely editing node edges with the mouse.

9. It’s faster and more efficient. There are performance improvements everywhere. I could go into them, but they’re boring to write about, so instead I’ll do what they do and save you time.

10. It doesn’t abandon older OSes. Okay, that’s not an upgrade – but it’s the absence of a downgrade. And in an industry where this is increasingly uncommon, you can run Reaper all the way back to XP on Windows, or 10.5 on OS X. (Note that the same can’t be said of all the plug-in formats and plug-ins, but still.) It also plays nice under WINE, so you can run it under Linux even though there’s not a Linux native version.

Video support (for film/TV scoring, for instance) is a major difference between Reaper and PreSonus’ Studio One, as mentioned before. So, too, is scriptability. So while I do admire Studio One, those could be deciding points from some readers, as we heard in comments.

And Reaper still does the stuff it already did well. That includes loads of multichannel and routing features (including real surround support), lots of nice built-in effects, modulation features, and OSC support for easy control. And it’s small enough to put on a portable drive, so you can take it with you to someone else’s studio.

But you don’t have to take my word for it. You can try it for two months free and see if it makes you happy.

[/quote]You don't have to mod anything though, Reaper works fine straight 'out of the box' - I use it with no customisations or fancy themes, it's not half as difficult as some people make out, if it was I wouldn't use it.[/quote]

I agree. there are a few small things for me to set up at first that are strange but I would never trade it for less options.

Ten reasons Reaper 5 upgrade will make users happy
