i'm gonna give this a try for my next project.
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Frankel <----I think reaper has a good, no excellant chance of topping all but cubase and protools in user base. $40 for a homerecordist is nothing.

Now if he could just figure out all the problems with UAD-1 cards...I have faith that will be done in the next 3 weeks, or maybe just a couple of days away.

Other then three crashs that have yet to be explained and the UAD-1 madness, its a very good program.

And just a note: Cubase SX4 full platnium super dupper version is going to list at $999.
 
Well I bought it, if I ever take money in, in my little studio I will pay for the comercial version, but for now I just paid the $40. I hope more support the project and pay for their copies, its gonna be a excellant program. Right now its just good, next comes great, and then someday it will be excellant. And since most everybody reading homerecording.com's BBS, qualifies for the $40 version, its a no brainer, I mean for studio's what does $40 buy you, one great 35 foot mic cable????
 
$20 says that if it really is a big deal, Justin can fix it within an hour.

It doesn't effect how the app works at all though. And "sound" wise, it sounds killer.

Hate to CPR an older thread, but there apparently is a major summing bug in reaper i.e. Render noise. Looks like they still have a way to go..

There you can download a test yourself. Reaper summs and nulls with the other apps

Any app that doesnt is BROKEN

The post referenced by you isnt a summing issue, its a stem splitting issue. And its not an issue, it behaves mathematically exactly as it should. Render to stems in another app the same way and they will null with reaper's stems

I don't. None of it, and I'm using Logic for fucks sake.

I'm going to finish the project I'm working on and install it. I've never used any program other than Logic so this will be a good test to see how user~friendly it is for the home rec'er to figure out.

I'll be finished with the one song I'm working on today, probably. I'll post thoughts on Reaper as I'm working through the install and my first recording.

I'm on the Reaper train too! Time to get things done!
 
Did my first "real" tracking with reaper saturday night. Everything went as planned except for when I pressed or clicked on the wrong button/area/etc. a couple of times, but really over all it went smoothly.

Hay pipeline is there any more news that you know about regarding live saves/live renders. Haven't tried it since a few versions ago, but I was still having clicks on the live save to disk or whatever its called. Cubase did it perfectly for me. And for those that want to know why I want to do this, is I use outboard reverb and recording the reverb as a track then rendering is one step to long in my book. And then if I change takes for a certain portion of the track getting the verb I need to rerecord the verb, and when I change....well you get the idea. And poor me I only have a 80GB hard drive so the less I have to put on there the better :o :D .
 
Berri never updates their products even if there is a flaw, justin updates reaper every 3-4 days on average.

My UAD-1 problems were fixed (as far as I can tell, with in 1 week, from my post above).

Maybe low in price, but the quality is top of the line Lexicon, Geffel, and any other brand that makes your hair stand on end. Ask steinburg how often they update cubase for bug fixes/feature requests.

I've done a few tests by rearouting to soundforge and recording there ok, but for the guys doing live bounces they usually just jack up the soundcard latency and most importantly in options\preferences\audio\ turn up the source buffer size

However, this may all now be moot with the new disk reading options justin just made! Check em out and rejoice

I continue to be impressed with Reaper's developement. Absolutely NOTHING can come close to it in the price vs. feature catagory either!

Nope, I don't work for them. Just giving my official "thumbs up" for this great software that is cheap as hell!

My girlfrinds brother created that software.
Its reallly good for the price point.
Hes the same guy that made up the Winamp software as well.
Im sure the big boy companies are watching this one closley.
 
Buy this sucker!

I just bought a noncommercial license. I've been using it for about a week. Anyone who can crank out performance like this team does ought to be getting registrations so fast it bogs down PayPal. This code is kicker! :D :cool: :cool:

I dont know the need of adding "for the price point"

If there were any software that could do what I need it to do at ANY price, I would be using it. There are some things our PTHD7 system can do better than reaper

Unfortunately, for what I do, the PTHD system is a paperweight compared to REAPER, though it makes money rented out to Conservatory kids

I just did a 5 minute song with live save output, worked with out flaws, I bet it was the disk stuff that Justin added, although I left everything there at default the live save worked great, now we just need live save to an MP3, lol. But then I got nero to do that, or I could bounce it back to reaper and do a mp3 render from there. Either way my complaint list is growing short....need to dig deaper and compare to other programs I have used I try to come up with a new list to bother him with.

My remark is relative to (what i believe is) reaper's target audience.
Ahem....home recordists. :D

Besides you are bias against PT anyways bub.

Have a nice day :) :) :) :)
 
bi·as
n.

a. A preference or an inclination, especially one that inhibits impartial judgment.
b. An unfair act or policy stemming from prejudice.

I don't think this is quite the right word, it implies an unformed opinion of the item in question. Ive used Digi since all they had was a sample editor for keyboard patches and everything since. Almost without exception, when given the choice, I find a tool that works specifically for the task at hand.

Since most of my work ends up being intensive audio editing (with the remaining little bit being tracking and mixing), I'm sure you'll admit, PT is not the right specific tool for the job. Were it ONLY mixing, maybe there would be some debate, PT's stability is a hair saver for sure. PT's template capabilities are also pretty awesome for quick mixes. But even in this case, theyre always late to the party, with native systems always coming up with the new features and formats first. From time to time back in the day I had 96khz projects come up. Since PT was unable to even do this until recently, it may have pushed me away unfairly from the HD system.
 
I caught a lot of shit in Conservatory for being anti-pro tools. Fuck that place, overpriced worthless education.
 
Pro tools ... *barf* I wish I never bought M-powered. It's as worthless as the box it came in ... wait, the box is made of cardboard so the box is worth more. Given - some people are impressed that you know how to use PT (for some reason). But to me, it's kind of like when someone says "I can put staples in my face and it doesn't hurt" ... sure it sounds neat; but in reality it serves no useful purpose.

;) ;)

I've used both reaper and PT M-powered rather extensively, and I choose the former over the latter hands down.

I think an appropriate analogy is that Reaper caught the money guzzling industry with their heads between their legs and their pants down :D
