[RWP] Reaper vs. ProTools?

[John Chilelli]

Oh and on the Windows side concerning Reaper 4.6x and Reaccess, I was told
by someone at CAVI teaching Reaper on Windows that:
"Control up-arrow does give you access to the right click menus however the
sends
and returns matrixes are not easily usable in 4.16.
You can build the matrix but can not edit it."

So then are Windows users limited in that we have to use Reaper 3.78?

Perhaps the Mac is a better option?

Thanks

Nobody has ever cared what daw I use here, and I do everything from 
hiphop to country to audio books.

Joe publoic just cares if you can do a good job, and the days of working 
in a big commercial facility are pretty much done.

But you are right, pt still has brand weight.

doing a clean install of mavericks some months back, I wouldn't say reaper
on the mac is not accessible. That being said kind of like ReaAccess on
windows, you do have to get a few things in order to make it work
accessibly. Pro Tools comes out of the box working with voice over ready to
go. At the end of the Day Reaper and Pro Tools are both professional level
DAW
> s and some would argue that in some ways reaper runs circles around pro
tools, in fact version 9 10 and 11  of pro tools slowly added features
reaper had almost since conception. But Reaper will not OverThrow Pro Tools
as king of the mountain in the pro world anytime soon. Why? Reaper is a DAW
done by a bunch of debs who relies on mailing list and message boards/forums
t  to handle support in a customer helps customer and most requested/voted
on features get added in later versions. If you are running a major
recording studio you want some amount of support for the product you just
bought, You are gonna want to know if something goes wrong, you call your
support contact and they help you resolve it or ship you out a replace meant
etc. If you want to go pro and work in the industry, get a mac and start
learning pro tools. This of course is if you plan to work in a commercial
facility. Though if you plan to run your own studio, Pro Tools does have
name brand recondition and being able to advertise that you use Pro Tools
may add to your seeming more legit to a customer. SO at the end of the day
Pro Tools an d Reaper can do all the same things for the most part. Pick a
tool, learn it well, and get to work.

and I'm just wondering the pros and cons of each environment. Is Reaper
going to kill ProTools one day and become the industry leader?
