Just saw this mentioned on Musicthing.

Reaper audio recorder, made by the Jesusonic/Winamp guy.

Free for now, and only a <1MB download. Only hosts Dx and Jesusonic effects so far, but VST is apparently planned, and no MIDI.

Check it out here.

it looks interesting for someone on a budget...

If you're on a budget (or not) and are interested in tracker, just use Buzz

It looks pretty cool !
Kara, it's not a tracker but an audio sequencer, judging by the screenshots.
Feature list is quite impressive, and it may also be a very good audio editor !
Most important thing for me is that it is less than 1Mb, meaning that it is efficiently coded, meaning that it is efficient

Mos annoying thing is that midi and VSTi support is not planned ... (only VST effect mid 2006)

It's sonic foundry acid 3.0

Except it didn't crash..so it's obviously not a pro app

Wow looks like a free version of Vegas 1.0!

http://www.kreatives.org/kristal/index.php is also a freeware audio editor but has existing vst support. Version 2 (due 2006) will offer midi and instrument support. Its 8.5 meg on disk.I can't see the benefit of reaper?.

Kristal is not an audio editor, only a multitracker, that needs an external audio editor; the same is Reaper, so Audacity is still ahead, IMO.

I think were talking about multitrackers here,and since I don't see where Audacity supports ASIO drivers or VST without a special adapter.I only see it's advantage as an audio editor only.

From the site - January 6 2006: REAPER v0.43 is available, with a ton of fixes and improvements, including basic MIDI and VSTi support.

Now with Midi? I will have to try this out soon!

Wow, they're fast ! It was initially planned for late 2006 ?!
Good midi/vsti support => tracktion killer ?

The developement roadmap seems pretty fast so far, but so are many app in the early stage; often developpement slows down as the addition of new features start to complicate things a bit though. Certainly worth checking in from time to time as I would love to have Vegas or a clone of it with full midi functionality.

Anyone seen this new multitracker?
