[RWP] Introduction and question

[Sina Bahram]

Sonar+Jsonar I've found to be buggy at best. I don't want to start a DAW discussion war, but I found Reaper to just make a lot more
sense out of the box. It's so much lighter, it's got amazing amounts of potential, and I've learned to look beyond things like it's
current status.

Also, no, I'm not running a studio.
 
Take care,
Sina

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.
