due to covid i am not able to use my main config (cubase 10 + Imac...) so i bring back my macbook from 2006 and give a try to reaper 6 and studio one V1 ( i own a sleeping licence...).i have installed minimonsta, imposcar and oddity + togu audioline 32 bit freeware.
first i try to use S1 , i was hell, cpu spike, crash, freeze...okay time to try reaper.
oh boy ! no more spike ! no more lag ! no more lag ! no more crash ! i begin to ask to myself if i will not use reaper and let down cubase... i want to know did you encounter crash or something else using reaper under a 64 bit os ? (under osx)
( i really consider to buy it)
Reaper V6.... oh boy !

Reaper is damn stable. Hardly no crashes within the last 2 years.

Best value. Stable, efficient, can set it up perfectly to your use. Amazing for what can it do for its size.
You need 3rd party vsts though..

It's not the 60 bucks, it's the time invested (kenny gioia tuts) to set it up and get fast with

How do you like the MIDI editor? Because for me that was a deal breaker...

Studio One has been heavily optimized in the meantime - V1 is hopelessly outdated (in many other regards too of course - it's at V4.6 now after all....

I wonder if there's not something else going on. Even version 1 of Studio One surely wasn't a total mess in terms of plugin performance. Or crash and freeze the whole time.
Even though I wouldn't stake my life on it, on Mac OS. From what I've always read, Studio One is more buggy on Mac OS than on Windows. Bit of a shame, and, I hope they improve in that regard in the future. Mac OS is still a very important market for pro audio.

i can tell you S1 under osx 10.6.8 on macbook dual core 2 is not the best daw..no cracked plugin, only freeware, fabfilter and refx plugin (32 bit)

the midi editor... i think it is easy to use, maybe not the best midi editor but not the worst.
after atm i cant test with external hardware synth but from what i seen from the menu it would not be so hard to use.

I didn't want to imply that, not at all.
Just wondering if there's something funky. Could be anything. OS incompatibility, or lack of testing/optimization for it. Maybe it doesn't work with a specific piece of hardware, or sucks with the used audio driver. I don't know. It simply would surprise me if it was a complete catastrophy in terms of plugin performance, because, even though Studio One was less optimized back then, I doubt that it's so groundbreakingly worse than Reaper.
Anyway, as has been pointed, better compare apples to apples. Reaper V6 is the latest version, Studio One version 1 is from 2009.

Yeah. S1 version 1 was very young and had a lot of issues. If you want to see how the application has improved you need the latest version. Why not compare Reaper version 1 and S1 version 1 instead.

S1 had issues on macOS till recently, nothing really new or surprising, especially first version on machine that can't take much beating anyways, it's easy to overcome those issues when you sit in front of desktop quad machine with enough RAM, but on these dual core machines where every bit is important, those issues quickly become evident.
Reaper is great macOS performer since some time, as good as Logic, I would give Logic advantage just because of massive amount of stock content that it provides, you don't need any 3rd party additions and everything is highly optimized, but on that machine you can run Logic 9 only, on other hand latest Reaper, so that's nice thing about Reaper, it's legacy friendly.
Cubase wasn't good macOS performer till recently either, so from that perspective among all the DAW's you have, Reaper have an edge as far as performance is concerned.
