[RWP] Introduction and question

[clarence griffin]

first of all, I must say wow. you must haven't played with sonar in at least the last, hmmm, lets say 8 years or so.
And secondly, I think there are some docs floating around. Plus this list is a great resource for information. I am a sonar user and coming from sonar I find reaper to be a much younger brother to sonar, but I need tools like sonar and protools for my job as a producer. I wouldn't suggest reaper just yet for major project work in a studio. But if you have specific questions regarding reaper, just ask here and I am sure one of us has an answer, or can tell you where to get it.
Welcome to the family.
