I had been struggling with the combination of my Alesis IO 26 and Audition 3... What a headache, three different machines, ASIO4ALL, fresh reformat, I tried everything. Tracks for about 3 seconds then stops, no matter what... What a waste of money. Then, out of desperation, I downloaded the trial of Reaper, installed it, and it worked, first try, no configuration needed, I just worked. I'm officially a fan. So I guess the point here is, Reaper and the IO 26 are definitely compatible, in case anyone was wondering.

I concur.

And it's probably the best customer service company I can think of. Besides the beyond-expert help we get here from Pipeline, the updates and user-friendly attitude of the company are awesome.
 
I've been using cakewalk guitar tracks pro and then sonar the past 2 years. I like the software but tried out reaper since it was free and definitely give it the thumbs up. My computer isn't the ultimate so I was really starting to struggle with some of my mixes in sonar... those same mixes in reaper are no problem, plus I dig a lot of the presets they give you for mixing... makes those mixed challenged individuals lives easier :D
 
Yep! It's amazing, no bullsh*t, straight ahead, give us what we need software. I too sing it's praises :)

Is it better than Audacity, in your opinion? I've never really liked it. (Audacity)
 
Audacity is pretty limiting so it's an apples to oranges comparison. Audacity is a cool tool for simple wav tweaks whereas Reaper is a full on DAW or, multitrack recording environment complete with full plug-in support, routing capabilities, automation, etc. The demo is fully functioning so go check it out already :)

More kudos here. I spent over 20 hours trying to get UbunutStudio (Linux opensource recording setup using Ardour) installed and working with my Firepod. Once I was furious enough to nearly crush the PC, a friend recommended I check out Reaper.

Within 5 minutes, I had it installed and working flawlessly with the Firepod. Within 10 minutes, I had recorded a brief vocal test. Within 60 minutes I had recorded a 6 track (simultaneous) drum session, and mixed it down to MP3 for demo.

This program is amazing, straight-ahead, and at $50--the greatest bargain in recording EVER.

I had it up to 30 something tracks the other day, and I was using limiter plugs, reverbs, etc.

My computer is 5 years old - and Reaper held steady.


Pro-Fools M-Powered got shakey at 8-tracks, and took about 2 minutes to load. Reverbs? Forget it - I couldn't run them, Pro-Fools just did not manage CPU and Memory well enough. Reaper's performance is extremely tight.


And the work-flow is incredible....... eveything you think you should be able to do...... you can.
