When asking why reaper is priced the way it is, it helps to have a little background on who started reaper and why.

Here are the facts. Some are going to like it, some......not so much. That's fair enough. Shit.........fry's closes in an hour......I gotta go get a mac so I can buy logic for 199!!!!!!!!!!! (poof of dust)......

Nice one! Talk about it later how Logic is. I'm curious.

Same here. And I don't like Macs. And I hate Apple. Arrogant shit marketing.

I can remember when you could get Logic on a PC.

That was before Reaper.

Apple thought that was illogical. I bet they still do.

Well, it took 26 pages but that's better then 26 free trials and some.

Gotcha ! I know you couldn't resist.
Anyway there are some good synths on sale at Cakewalk:
Tassman 4 after 20% discount $79.80
Rapture + Dimention Pro + Z3ta+2 bundle $119.20 after 20% discount
AAS sessions instruments $15.96 after the discount.
It's all about PRICE!!!!
Just curious.... Is AAS Sessions using C/R or simple serial?

$15.96 sounds like a pretty good price!

--Sean

C/R but a very sweet one. You can generate a new code max 3 times every 90 days and the start fresh again. So who's going to change 12 PC a year.... Sh*t don't tell me....

AAS sessions instruments at that price should be bundle with Reaper and so the Tassman, the most clean sound in the industry.

Yes. That was when Emagic was still a german non sold out company.

I made the near complete switch to Reaper from Logic after 10 years of logic (and switched to mac for logic when apple purchased Emagic)mainly because of AU not supporting midi out because I use Reaktor sequencers and arps as well as various other midi out instruments. Logic also has rubbish multicore support and Instruments still only use 1 core per inst track making multitimbral operation impossible. I do love the logic environment and would still use it if it had both midi out for instruments and better multicore support. Cubase 6 looked interesting but I don't want a dongle, Protools doesn't support midi out for instruments either in Rtas and I can't find info on wether AAX supports it. I own Ableton and max4live but hate working down the bottom of the screen all the time for fx etc also all the rows of sends have to be pre or post and unable to change them track independently , Also it only supports midi out for instruments going to midi channel 1?. Reaper fixes all those problems and is the best for configuring and cpu use. My only issue is the resizable widows for plugs etc is real clunky and also has ugly plugin shell windows. If that was fixed and they added a full featured editor like other Daws and i would pay 400-500 dollars for Reaper.

My story is similar...years and years on Logic...since the Atari, to the Mac only versions.
I love the environment too (newbs dont tho...it appears), and the various front page Global Input Quantize, offsets, humanize etc...and the topmost edit functions for folders.
That said I am now going well on Reaper, it has some issues that bothered me initially, but no real showstoppers.
Generally the pluses far outweigh any minuses, probably like you I do a lot of midi and I hope they keep improving it, they did put a lot a effort into the Piano roll, midi editor earlier in version 4.
I do agree with some of the comments that it needs more direction in usabilty and cleaning up...you know there are so many unnecessary actions for example, but all that aside, its going well for me.
Cheers

Would you still buy Reaper if it will cost you as much as the other DAWs ?
