[Rwp] Could Songs Of this complexity be pulled off using Reaper and Osara with MIDI strictly?

[Scott Chesworth]

Well, Reaper doesn't come bundled with much in the way of
instrumentation, so unless you have hardware modules there, then out
of the box it's a no. However, there are many, many decent freeware,
inexpensive and expensive VST instruments that'll hold their own and
in some cases surpass the Apple instruments. Beyond instrumentation,
DAWs are just tools. The magic comes from the minds, hands, ears and
tastes of the people recording into them. Perhaps one way to approach
this is to make a list of all of the features you used in your Apple
DAW. Assuming the combination of Reaper and OSARA enables accessible
ways of carrying out the same tasks (which it most likely does), then
why not?
