What's the plan for Reaper?

[enroe]

... Not that it wouldn't hold true for any other DAW developing company out there as well though.

Yeah, cause there aren't any other one-man-show DAWs, right?

Currently not.

But I remind you that once in the 80ties both the development
of Cubase (Karl Steinberg) and that of Logic (Gerhard Lengeling)
were a pure one-man show. They were self-motivated - purely
intrinsically - and thus programmed the first really great
sequencers.

[chk071]

Awesome. But, what does that have to do with the original question about who actively develops Reaper? And why do you compare modern days feature monsters with extremely limited software from the 80's?

[GaryG]

Yeah, cause there aren't any other one-man-show DAWs, right?

I think mulab is just Jo?

[Scrubbing Monkeys]

Yeah, cause there aren't any other one-man-show DAWs, right?

I think mulab is just Jo?

Yeah I think so too.

Mulab is great for creativity and writing Reaper is great for audio editing and mixing. Reaper and Mulab make a great all round solutiion.

[DarkStar]

One-man DAWs? ... and then, of course, there was energyXT

(which was my gateway DAW a long time ago. I've got my habit down to one or two DAWs a day, man. I can handle it. )

Don't be silly, of course there are - which was my point...

[jens]

I think mulab is just Jo?

And Podium is just Frits and so forth....

[Biome_Digital]

Just started using Reaper. It's pretty good.

Well then, let's go.

Is Justin planning to still code everything by himself in the near future or will he hire staff?

Reaper differs from other DAWs in that it is a completely different concept.
With only two core developers working on it with intrinsic rather than
commercial motivation, Reaper is very lean and efficient.

While the usual DAWs can only be installed excessively large and bloated
with all the piping, Reaper is tiny, but still has an excessive number of
features and is usually more powerful in terms of performance than all
other DAWs.

Number of developers ...

The number of developers at Reaper is not that easy to tell. The core
developers are Justin and John. The GUI developer is "White Tie". The
handbook writer is Francis Geoffrey. But there are still around 20 script
developers and around 5 SWS coders. The support team consists of
around 100 members of the forum and, in my experience, is particularly
fast and efficient. If you now include the people in the forum who make
suggestions for product development and promote them in an advisory
capacity, you probably have to name at least 20 people again.

Viewed in this way, the entire "Team Reaper" consists of an estimated
number of 150 people. Reaper updates are made about every 3 weeks,
and from this alone you can see that Reaper is being developed further
in a high step sequence and very target-oriented.

Spot on. Reaper is amazing.

Haha, yeah ok, because Mulab and Podium were not on my radar.
I thought more of the "all-encompassing DAWs" such as Samplitude,
Logic, Cubase, Cakewalk, Protools. I think Reaper belongs in this club.

[jonljacobi]

Jo with Mulab, Geil with MultitrackStudio...

[Michael L]

Mulab is great for creativity and writing. Reaper is great for audio editing and mixing. Reaper and Mulab make a great all round solution.

Yes, I also noticed that!

And don't forget Kenny Gioia's excellent video tutorials.

Reaper’s creepers, where’d ya get those peepers? No, seriously how are you looking at the DAW without hurting your eye bulbs? I must be getting old. Reaper needs someone to work on the GUI. Hire them!

Appearance has never been a problem with Reaper for me....this isn't even my favorite theme which certainly doesn't hurt my "eye bulbs".
