Wow, check out the 'new' REAPER
They've started to develop 'advanced' skins and themes...here are a couple but the forum is starting to fill up with all kinds of them from wild to mild

Sorry, but to me it still looks ugly and cluttered. Not saying it isn't a good program, but they really need to get a professional graphic designer.

or this one is pretty cool
bottom line: you can make reaper look any way you want it to

the one I'm using now is very clean and good for low-light environment

It's called "Mark One" -- you can find it in the themes and icons board

ProTools is pretty ugly, too, imo, but at least it makes logical sense. Reaper just looks really really cluttered. But I'm sure it's a great program. Everybody raves about it. I'm sure they'll fix the look of it in future versions.

If by "fix" you mean "make it more like Pro Tools", include me out.b3groover wrote:ProTools is pretty ugly, too, imo, but at least it makes logical sense. Reaper just looks really really cluttered.

I don't mean to be a zealot here. But rejecting a program based on how it looks without experience with it is like rejecting a guitar because of the paint color without playing it.

Uh, no. I said ProTools is ugly, too.
For the record, I use Cubase, which not only sounds great and is very flexable but looks really good, too. It is laid out logically and is clean and uncluttered.
These days, all DAWs basically do the same thing and sound roughly the same (unlike something as personal as a guitar), so you need to choose something based on price and ease of use. To me, how the program is structured visually ties greatly into ease of use.

I used Nuendo for years and was about to plunk down $ for an upgrade when 4 came out and out of curiosity messed around with reap a little bit ... didn't like it so much at the time. I was watching cubase 4 being rolled out and what I saw was pretty shocking and then gave reap another try (I think it had gone though 40 revisions by then) and after a few days I was hooked.
I agree all these DAWs do the same thing but reap actually does some stuff that no others can do AFAIK. try real side-chaining in another daw; try mixing audio and midi in the same track; the routing is just crazy good -- well beyond what other daws can manage
it is weak on midi but I manage okay.
with customization I can now work about twice as fast in reap as I was. No more crashes, no memory leaks, no bloat; NO DONGLE; etc.
And switching to Reap saved me about $2000 (or more) for new gear.
As far as looks go, you can customize reap to look any way you want it to. User preference now. I'm used to Nuendo and with the right skin I just don't have any negative experiences with it.

And try getting this kind of help from Steinberg or Digi

And when is the last time you made a feature request to another daw designer and they incorporated it within a week? Or ever?
Sorry, not a Reapernista but you gotta admit that this is damn cool.
