[RWP] reaper vs sound forge

[Indigo]

In Reaper you can apply any effect that's from any VST plug you are able 
to access, and route it to or from any track.
Sound Forge has wonderful detail in editing that I can't easily 
duplicate in Reaper, though Patrick Perdue is now using Reaper in place 
of Sound Forge for all his audio editing.
When I was creating my own loops, I loved how easily I could trim or add 
single samples to either the beginning or end of loops, how there are 
Sound Forge selections to silence the end pop of loops grabbed from the 
middle of a CD or movie, , and many other editing tools not as easy to 
find in Reaper.
I'm thankful to have both Sound Forge and Reaper, also grateful for 
Sonar's Matrix View.
So far, there are no comparible loop/sample players for Reaper, except 
maybe Poise VST, which is partly accessible.
Yesterday I tried to get Synappse Audio's Zampler going in Reaper 64.
I should have been able to import the FXB bank of samples and play them 
on the midi keyboard, and they were there in .FXB format in the Zampler 
Banks folder, but when I went through the import banks dialog in Reaper 
the .FXB bank turned into .wav drum files and couldn't load.
That would have been no problem at all for Sonar 8.5.3's Matrix View, 
which can import .wav, .mp3, any audio format, plux midi files and 
rexFiles and assign them to play from keyboard keys.
In other words, Reaper, Sound Forge, Sonar, each has its own strengths, 
nothing can completely substitute for the other.
