[RWP] Introduction and question

[Monkey Pusher]

I agree with clerance on this one and  I personally used JSonar, Yeah
i think the last 2 months or so jSonar went  through a bit of a buggy
spell and if you aren't the most technically minded i can see how that
would of put someone off. However one of the things that draw me to
reaper is the lightweight ness of it even so  its not too far off
feature wise from sonar. However as i do often feel like the one blind
musician that doesn't play keyborads and thus don't use midi I can't
really be of much help with the midi stuff. Personally for beats i use
audio drum loops or single hits and  arrange them like you would edit
any other audio file in a DAW.
