[Rwp] OSARA, an open-source ReaAccess replacement in development

[Chris Belle]

This attitude is why there are so few reaper people doing this 
professionally.

It takes skill and time to make good tools,
and depending on the kindness of the universe for everything free will

Reaper is a cool little daw, but there are important diferences 
professional ones why sonar cost so much more than reaper.

the biggest bing the plug-ins offered.

Swiss army knife vs full blown power tool set.

Not that cut and dried, but you get the idea.
