[RWP] Introducing myself

[Chris Belle]

REaper access is dead in the water now,
people are making do with re-access which officially stopped development at version 3.78 of reaper.

But people are going ahead and using it with the 4 series, if you like audio editing, then reaper is pretty groogy there, not so hot with midi,
my friend Roy says he loves it, but I don't see many doing midi here yet,
sonar is still king for most of us,
I know that's a bad thing to say over here, and I appologize for offending anyone, I love reaper too, but lots of work needs to be done to get it to the stage we enjoy on the sonar side, everything from documentation
to a re-write of re-accdess,
but that being said, development is being done with some third party plug resources with hsc and ahk,
from our buddy steven and gn luca,
and different folks,
and if you have lots of time to mess about, and want to forge your own path, reaper is nifty.

If how ever you need to get work done and need docs and defined ways to do most practical tasks you need from a daw, then keep reaper as your second.

I use reaper mostly for a slicer dicer and cross fading audio and sonar for everything else.

We need to find us a fine programmer who we can pay to bring us up to speed,
but in this community I don't know if it'll happen,
we're talking the difference between a several hundred dollars daw and a 50 dollar daw, and the mentallity is a lot different, kind of like comparing linux open source free to proprietary software memtallity.

I know I'll catch hell for saying all  this stuff, and be seen as a nay sayer, but I just say it how I see it,
reaper is a great alternative, but will require a lot more work and dedication for you to get use out of.

But this little program is extremely configurable,
and has sws extensions, and lots of things to help you make it what you need it to be, but you better have a geeky mind, even routing and things like that are not done in a conventional studio wise manner,
it'll take some adjusting.

I would suggest you get a tutor if you really want to pursue reaper.

I don't feel qualified to do anything beyond the basics though I do teach many things in music technology, I want more time with reaper.

But Roy, or Patrick would probably be glad to take you on for their very reasonable prices and show you the ropes, and there are probably others here too.

In the meantime, you have training mode with the re-access,
and the email archives to look through.

Good luck.
