[RWP] I need all of your input, please. Abandoning Reaper vs. ProTools, should I stay or go?

[Chris Belle]

You know, I do too.\

I love the whole idea of open source software, or community based, what 
ever you call it,
I love to dabble with linux, and
anything that gives me a chance to tweak and mess about and get the best.\

But I have to balance that with getting work done, so reaper is my 
second daw of choice,
I do my main stuff on sonar which just works, and reaper is my 
experimentation, and hope to do better with and for those pesky audio 
cross-fading tasks sonar refuses to do as well.

yep, for those of us who use both we know how much better reaper is as 
certain audio tasks than sonar.

At least it takes fewer steps, you need caketalking to get at the best 
of the clips pane to do such things with sonar unless you are very good 
with positional based computing, and reaper makes it a synch, with the 
number pad nudging and growing and all that.

It's just  so great.

Then I start trying to do complex midi with reaper and want to throw it 
out the window 'grin'.

Oh well, that's why we need multiple tools.
