Millions LOVE Reaper. It does ALL the basic stuff other programs do and does them well. It simply offers millions of additional OPTIONS. There are many quality videos and a very powerful forum for support. And it is VERY stable. Is it perfect or the pretties- no. There is room for improvement but for $60 value is 10-10.

Why doesn’t this have 1M views?

💜💚🇺🇲🌎🌏🌍👽🎵🎼🎶🎙🥊💪🧠

This should reach way more people. Such a low amount of views is criminal.

This is an awesome performance and an incredible setup

Just came across your channel. Auto-subbed just for the name "Schmorgle" regardless of content.

I wanted to like reaper, but I get weird audio leaks between channels, and it even picked up my voice through my headphones while plugged into the output jack of my soundcard 😯 This blew my tiny mind, so it's back to Audacity, which works great for me.

That title made me positively guffaw with laughter

Reaper is exactly that. Absolutely dauting. Absolutely powerful. But it is also VERY LIGHT (on memory and CPU) and VERY CHEAP. That is a combination you can't really find in other daws (and the adagio is "you can use the money you saved to buy more plugins and virtual instruments"... And well, that's true lol). For me Reaper is about three things: ctrl, alt and shift. CUSTOMIZE IT! :D That and, evidently, Kenny Gioia. (And ReaperBlogs, and ReaperTips, and ReaperMania, etc., etc.) Oh and there was someone here, I think it's @thebrunoserge , who said they were a UX Engineer and wanted to help. Well, I'd definitely love to see and use your theme! :)

14:00 fcuking diabolical xd

bro ableton is probably more complicated than fl 😂

They are designed for different user bases. Ableton is best for people who can't play any instruments and don't know anything about music. Proper DAWs are better for recording actual musicians.

it can be simple and to the point... but then it gives you the option for LITEREALLY ANYTHING. love and hate this daw for that. i guess i somehow look past all the stuff i have no idea about and use it at my creativity.

It’s very similar to ableton 😮

used cubase for years went to reaper and yea it was tricky as at first but no where as hard as it was for me moving to ableton i just wish i found it years ago live looping is golden

As an "Old School" Engineer, who has 14 DAWs in my studio, your assessment is spot on. I can easily see the incredible power available in Reaper. But for someone with severe ADD as well as OCD tendencies, Reaper is simply too overwhelming for my glitched out brain to process. Or maybe I'm just not smart enough for it. Which is always a possibility 😂

templates bro. , )

Small litte detail: it's not open source.

Ableton is great for live and to change tempo on some samples, and that is it. No comparison with the sound quality of a power house like Pro tools, Cubase, Nuendo and so on. I mean you can open Ableton inside of Cubase like it is a VST.

Reaper is fantastic (especially in conjunction with the Reason Rack Plug-In.) First thing to note, will take you a month to get your head round it all, it's intense and advanced but you got there with this in the end but any track can be any track, Reaper can do pretty much everything you want it to do, fully customisable. The 2nd thing you wanna do, is download a theme you like and that shouldn't be done till you've got a basic grasp of how the daw works.

Before I started working with audio, if I imagined a DAW, it would be something like REAPER. So, when I came to REAPER, it felt quite intuitive to me. Still, it has many unintuitive features, but I could do some basic things with the least hassle in REAPER of all DAWs which I tried. What I value on REAPER is that I can easily rename keyboard keys, which is useful for microtonal music, which the standard keyboard not necessarily applies to. What I dislike on REAPER is that it has some interface details hardcoded although I would like to change them, especially the text font for MIDI editor, which misses some important glyphs like for ‘♭’ (used in the custom note names).

NOPE!!

All that for $60

6:47 I like this. well said sir.

The better your imagination is, The easier of a time you're going to have with reaper

Spoken like a true Ableton user😂

I used Logic for years, and didn't even know about the first features you mentioned lol

Reaper is my DAW of choice. I originally got it because it was lightweight for an old laptop I had. Now Reaper 7 is a bit prettier. I've been very tempted by Ableton but I just can't bring myself to learn a DAW again 😊

hey I don't know if you read comments from older videos, but this is my favorite song from you. Do you think you'll ever show a breakdown of this song, like how you made it in your DAW?

This video needs more cowbell

owner of both, find Ableton faster, the search bar, automation etc. audio warping, grouping, but find logic has a way better mixer, using sends etc, using midi out vsts like scaler, also some added features like, mastering assistant, stem splitter. better visual expeirnce. all comes down to preference. I like to use logic for song writing/ production, and live for mashups, and live sets.

Stock REAPER is just that... stock. You spend years slowly changing everything about the program and ultimately it will look and function as you want it to look and function. After being REAPER user for 15 years+, I'm unable to use stock REAPER because my configuration is so far removed from the stock software in every single way. And that's the real power of the software. Also it's stable as a rock and is light on resources.

it can also be used as a vst. but the mixer and sequencer get disabled. BUT you can use the rack. eg synths and effects and combinator the vid below is the basics of combinator. it dosnt show here that it can be 6 rows high for truly massive configurations Get to Know Reason's Combinator - Your gateway to huge sounds

I come from Pro Tools / Logic / Cubase and I needed around 1 year to utilize Repaer so that I liked it, and now I work ONLY with Reaper because none of the other DAE's have all the features I need. And: Reaper never crashed until now. Even with more than 100 tracks with Plugins, viral instruments and three L2's with 8 time overspampling. Pro Tools won't play only one L2 with 4 x oversampling only

this song gets me. I tried to live out of music for 10 years with no luck. Now I just enjoy it and play for my friends and family. Saludos desde la tierra del taco 🌮

Started with FL as a teenager, then studio one and ableton (doesn't even show all my plugins), and for the last 5 years in reaper, I can't go back, it just works like a charm, no errors, no crashes (99% of the time), flexibility, all my plugins works, it's just great.

DUDE! The wires! The wires are the BEST. You need to mess around with routing that way. There's nothing else like it (which is why you found it so bizarre)

Thanks for making this

Dope! I'm sampling some N64 game music currently for a few beats, real good video here man 🔥

first time i used reaper after years with fl studio, ableton, cubase, studio one, pro tools and logic pro i just wanted to cry everything was perfect, everything that it had i just wanted to drop down to my knees and break down and just sob over and over again it was everything i had ever wanted in a DAW and the linux user in me geeked out so hard when using it for the first time this is obviously a piece of software designed by . software developers and its unopinionated design and extensive customisability that can also be extended further thanks to its intuitive scripting language AND complete freedom to change its look to your desire AND add custom toolbars for specific use cases AND its incredible documentation AND being able to change mouse behaviour and shortcuts on the fly AND how it handles automation (i am very fond of having all of my automation stacked on top and underneath each other) AND its fantastic community that will help you out not with just a single line of a comment but instead go into such depth with everything that it'll just make you feel like you finally belong, it feels like home reaper is my home and that is where i will stay for the rest of my audio engineering life

The linux of daws is really really nice desciption

I think this dude is paid by reaper to teach about the daw. great channel for how to master it. www.youtube.com/@REAPERMania

This seems like the vim of DAWs. I'm fascinated

This was a fun watch. I have never used a DAW other than this one, so when i saw ableton for the first time, or even other DAWs like reaper who have a way different way of doing things, i didn't understand anything. Every different program has its own learning curve and isn't understood the same way by everyone, and that's okay! Menu diving is a big part of learning these programs.

who will win? greedy corporations of course

Can confirm Reaper does come stock with VSTi's.

Peanut butter have great legato! 👍

If you saw my Reaper installation, you'd be shocked again.. it's totally unrecognizable from default Reaper. The momentum killing is only at the beginning, once you learn how it works and how you can customize it, it gets blazing fast.

I know this is an old video but just stumbled in it. I'm not a producer, I use Reaper for foley for films (mostly indie no budget clients) and Reaper is the DAW that made the most sense to me for that workflow. The video subsystem runs very well and I love the fact that the tracks don;t care WHAT you put on them. Modi, stere, mono ... everyone is welcome. LOL. I also believe that the company behind Reaper is juts like one or two people? I might be worng. Also, they recently revamped the automation screen with the one billion checkboxes recently. It's much better designed now.

i’m still stuck at which one to get, i want to make beats mainly vs recording vocals. what should i do?
