Still Think Reaper is just a passing Fad?
Maybe because the tone of this thread is basically, "Reaper is awesome and your software is overpriced bloatware."inverseroom wrote: That said, I agree that it's pointless to give a crap what other people think of your favorite DAW. I'm also not sure why you seemed so eager to piss on the dude's party.
And that's the reason why I haven't bothered with Reaper. MIDI is important to the work I do.I'm not going to try and vouch for the MIDI implementation...I haven't even tried it yet and probably won't have a lot of use for it. That does seem to be the bugbear with a lot of otherwise excellent apps, though...Acid and Tracktion spring to mind.
That and I still think it's kinda fugly.

Dude, the Voyager is insanely sweet! I'm still on cloud nine with that one. Funny thing: I was using my Yamaha Motif ES rack for some "analog" type sounds on the recording we're working on. I found the same sounds on the Voyager and re-recorded the tracks using it.
Night and day. Total night and day.
The Voyager has soul!
Anyway, not to get too far off topic! Use the DAW that you are comfortable with and that helps you make music and what else is there to worry about?

Dudes, I must jump in here - that was not the intent of my original post (although I can see how it might be viewed that way).Maybe because the tone of this thread is basically, "Reaper is awesome and your software is overpriced bloatware."
I just wanted to share an article describing how the ownder/coder of Reaper (Justin Frankel) has a pretty stellar track-record at introducing paradigm shifting software - WinAmp, Gnutella, File-sharing, etc.
My thinking was - if Mr. Frankel's track record is any indication, Reaper (or a related offspring) is unlikely to disappear into the night anytime soon. In other words, good, cheap, powerful multi-track software is here to stay, and we (and DAW software companies) may as well get used to that concept. Hence the title of the OP.
Anyway, it is fascinating how DAW software does invoke such passion amongst users!

PS - to accompany Inverseroom's excellent tutorial about assigning input/output in Reaper, I'll point out that you can easily assign recording routing options by 1) clicking on the Record button on the track, then 2) clicking in the armed track. Two clicks, I know, but still pretty simple.

Funny how reaper rhymes with cheaper, deeper, and keeper!
To me, the name reaper seems more synonymous with reaping the harvest than the grim reaper. The beauty of subjective perspective.
I have only exported stem files from cubase since making the switch.
It's definitely worth a try.

Don't forget to breath.
I picked up Reaper a few months ago and........ It freakin rocks!!! Ive used Protools for 9 years , hell Im certified through them. I use reaper to do all my mixes lately. I will record in protools still but if i could figure out how to make reaper see my protools hardware that will end all. Not having to bounce down mixes in real time to just run them out to my car is god sent
Yeah, that is nice...inverseroom wrote:BTW, the Stumm201 theme is indispensible for Reaper, IMHO. Incredibly clear and professional looking.

Hi,
Not sure about anything after , but Digi 001 works fine with Reaper - just get that Digi MME helper app (it lets you add programs to the registry enty for the digi 001), and reaper.exe. Works great for me. Gives your 001 a whole new lease of life - vst plugs/softsynths, and plugin delay compensation, unlimited tracks/bussing - what's not to like?
DEFINITELY worth a look IMO.
Take it easy all,
Paul

Digi hardware should be fine with reaper- digi has an asio driver, don't they? It's been a while since I had digi hardware, but I seem to remember that coming out. Also, for the person that was worried about assigning inputs- did you check out the routing matrix? When I first switched from protools, one of my major sticking points was losing the ability to assign inputs and outputs across many channels quickly, but when I was pointed towards the routing matrix, after about 5 minutes I realized how flexible this is and how easy to use. PLus, you can add tracks and inputs as it is recording, which is handy for live recording, when that "surprise guest" jumps onstage!

Hi again,
The Digi MME Helper can be downloaded from here;
(Scroll down to see the relevant section).
http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?lan ... emid=23087
The digi asio driver is not multi client, so it can be a little fussy, but if you only run one app at a time (or one app and rewired apps) it'll be fine.
Works great for me.

All I'm wondering is, did anyone actually say Reaper was just a passing fad?
