[RWP] PlugIns 4 Reaper

[Indigo]

I'm curious, David, why you don't continue with Sonar and hot spot 
clicker, in Windows XP??
Reaper is smaller and more efficient in use of CPU power than Sonar, but 
all these programs end up with the same thing, music recorded.
Someone said, the best program is the one you already know.
I have Sonar 8.5.3, and sometimes use its matrix view to assign loops to 
keyboard keys, but I never could get my head around Sonar's complexity, 
and since I use Wineyes I have no help from CakeTalking or hot spot 
clicker, so Reaper was a natural for me.
I installed XP onto a machine with an I7 2600 with loads of power, and 
enjoy using XP for Reaper, Sonar, Propeller Heads Reason 6.5, whatever.
Besides, I have a bunch of great old 32 bit plugs that work best in XP, 
and with my simple working methods, XP's less than 4 gigs of ram is 
plenty. .

Although I love XP for making music, I gave up XP entirely for going 
online, because it is way too vunerable to viruses, so now I use this 
little cheapo Acer quad core online, with Windows 7 64, and up to date 
Firefox browser, and keep my XP daw machine safely off line for music.

I recently found another solution to have the best of both XP and Win7 
in the same machine, a swappable drive tray.
I put swappable trays in the front of both computers, a lot of labor, 
but worth it.
Soon I'll stick a blank hard drive into this AMD based Acer desktop, and 
install XP onto it, so I have a backup for music making.
