[RWP] Introducing myself

[Chris Belle]

Yeh, for fifty bucks you aren't going to get everything and the kitchen sink,
so no big sample libraries and multiple instruments but other than that,
 and especially for precise audio editing, reaper is realy groovy.

I do not like the way reaper handles automation, that is a personal preference though automation snaps back to the previous value when you let go of an envelope,
I think it should stay where you left it.

YOu have to ride out envelopes to the end to make a change stay.

So most of us do item based automation, slicing up our audio and changing volumes of the bits of audio we cut up.

I just love the way reaper cross fades and seamlessly puts audio together though, way nicer than sonar, sonar makes audio editing harder.

But if you're used to sonar's automation and event list and such, reaper will drive you nuts till you get used to it.

  Reaper 4 is required for the mac. Most windows users are using version 3.7.8 the last version of version 3. You don't need an access plug in or rather  there is no access plug in for reaper on the mac. Reaper 4 works with voiceover. I posted this to you on another list but i'll post it below as well since this is a more appropriate place for it.

  Well i can't speak to midi as i have not used it that way, but as it pretty much treats audio and midi the same way I imagine its doable. The Cons at the moment, are the tool bars and tracks aren't in containers, which means you have to navaite through the toolbar and through most of a track controls or etc if you move from top of the screen to the bottom.  THis could lead to really high track count projects getting confusing, but Something like ReaConsole which is part of the SWS Extensions and Item Chooser which is part of VoiceOver can help you tame this beast. Also has i pointed out aloof of what we need doesn't have keyboard shortcuts  added by default. So one will have to spend a great amount of time adding shortcuts to the keycap.  That being said it can be navigated, and while there ins't much  in way of software instruments, (just one synth and one Sampler if memory serves correct) There is an absolute tone of effects. Eq's Compressors, Chorus, Delays, Reverbs, Pitch, Tune, etc etc. All are accessible and usable. Also there is Pitch and playback rate control on a *per track* and Per clip/item basis and the clip/item based effects are accessible as well. It's extremely flexible, so when switching from another DAW you may have to *learn* how reaper does it, or what settings to change to get it to behave like you are used to. Oh and the best part is custom actions or macros to automate and speed up work flow.  Also features like dynamic split is useful which goes through a selected area and automatically split out silence based on a threshold you set and remove the silent clips for you. Worth a look, but can throw you for a loop at first and definitely may just be untamable for really large projects

  Since Reaper has the same plug ins on mac and PC, someone here can correct me if i am wrong if Reaper comes with more soft synths than just ReaSynth and ReaSamplematic.
