And very important for some nerds, it works on Linux ;)

FL GANG 4L!

This daw is absolute trash, i've been looking for an hour and it's impossible to just find a instrument for one, two it's not even clear how to add a piano roll to edit. If this is not really obvious i'm not taking the time to learn this archaic interface. Wtf else would I use this for, why wouldn't they just make it intuitive? Add track, pick vst. Why would I just add an empty track and not want to edit the midi notes and automatically be able to select a vst? Just save your money for FL, it's way better.

Number 1-10: Camellia uses it

Hate to say it, but after 5 years on Reaper, I switched to Logic Pro. Way easier to use for someone who doesn’t have a computer programming degree.

can you not configure the mouse wheel to scroll up and down in the session? It seems like I can only have one action for mousewheel scroll wtf

Can I use Reaper on an Android Tablet ?

I have some experience with Ardour, a Linux based DAW, How does Reaper compare to Ardour ? , Armour is Easy to Learn.

think I'm just gonna bs a programmer, write more software for sven more customizations, maybe let magical emoji( your color of course) to tell you, show you, and do it for you. You ask them what you thinking ie; darker, airy, moving change to the sound. There is so much time WASTED digging thru options. Some like the fight, and the efforts and final works emerge they're right on top of it. Learning off on you. with no pay, remember thou any soundsyou create off their sounds are their sounds. ok, good vid, now lets go search for more...😮😅😢

I was looking for DAWs that run on Linux, and Reaper was recommended. I'm glad to see that it's a quality DAW.

I was convinced u were just tryna sell me on this but I'm sold

Dune 3 should have been included

Reason??

Going to be giving this a shot tomorrow. Sounds like what im looking for...

It surprised me a bit the first time I began hearing that ppl think Reaper is “ugly”, lol. Maybe I’ve got bad taste, but “ugly” hadn’t ever crossed my mind while using it. Aesthetically, the look of it is pretty good. And I have dicked around in changing between the various “styles” available, and I even downloaded a few from a site featuring others’ custom..I think “skins” is what I’m meaning..I’m a 63-year-old in remote small-town west TX, so I doubt I’ll win any Oscars on how current my slang is, or anything..Lol, so one I liked and used for a minute before my last PC got too full of AIDS to use anymore was this “orange” skin which had the features laid out very snugly, and some other cool-looking ones. But since getting this PC, I haven’t remembered to switch out from the default skin, because I don’t really need to. I’m jumping subjects bizarrely out of nowhere, but I loved Mixcraft for similar reasons; it’s laid out where everything is obvious enough for even a Sid Vicious wannabe hillbilly like me to readily grasp. That is, until one day circa 2018ish, some “update” some genius up at Mixcraft decided to impose, turned it, overnight, into a crashy CPU whore which uses ludicrous amounts of RAM, and ever since, it’s utterly unusable, because it will reject plugins and just vanish from the screen. Bringing it back up, I’ll see “We apologize for sucking mole-covered, oily dicks, but the crash was due to (name any plug-in). Trying to resume the project, I’ll see that half the plugins are “blanked out”, and Mixcraft are unable to handle them. I’ll try Mixcraft again once in awhile, and puzzlingly, they seem to prefer the embarrassingly unprofessional mode they’ve now been in for half a decade. It would have been my favorite over Reaper, by a microscopic margin. Another thing since this new PC, is although I do own Reaper and have paid for it, I’m not keen on the headache of jumping through the hoops involved in obtaining Reaper “legitimately”. I never have and never will master “copying my pasties”. Yeah, yeah, someone else yet again come preach to me re how “simple” it is; I’ll do that for you: “You just put your finger on the serial number while reciting The Encyclopedia Britannica backwards in Portuguese, then you go over to another spot to diddle its clit, and Mr Spock will cause the serial # to reappear”; yeah, yeah, I already know. I’ve emailed Reaper apologizing to them for “stealing” their demo, explaining that I really do actually own it. Getting the actual version of software is always a billion times more complex than using the demo…Which loads effortlessly. 🤔 But that’s just how woke everything is now.

1) Because it’s the only DAW which is laid out in a manner which resembles sane, and isn’t nearly as convoluted as most others I’ve tried. Computers and I hate one another, and even I’m able to “just do music” without being bogged down with all kinds of woke issues. It’s by far the most straightforward DAW on the planet.

I truly believe the Cubase community is better: "Read the manual" + "Did you know you could make a template??"

Lots of tweaking required, so Reaper is not for me

There's missing one thing (or did I simply overlook it?): licensing and portability. Absolutely no mess in case of new installation or when switching to a new PC/Laptop. And as the plugins are, so the whole DAW is completely portable, all settings in one folder. This I consider point 1b.

Liked and subscribed. Thank you! Exactly what I needed !

Reaper is calling me and im picking it up😮

Does the daw auto detect midi drum bpm

I just downloaded reaper because of all this online progranda and it literally crashed within 30 seconds of opening smh

anytyhing but pro tools, I wil.l never understand why is still a standard at those days, hopefully for younger people this gonna change.

i have a product key for reaper 6.0 and i got reaper 7.0 and tis invalid?

Silly question : I'm about to do a podcast, do you think Reaper would fit for podcasting and if so what plugins will I need in order to control my audio FX Or do you think is too much?

no Roland Zenology pro? that is so sad

I own Reaper, and it isn't the best DAW.

I made rap music as a teenager back in 2008 to 2011. I started in Audacity but soon discovered Reaper. It was so intuitive and easy to use. I got back into making music over 10 years later, so I also went back to Reaper. Just amazing how easy and fun it is. I think it's an overlooked software, I'd recommend it to any beginner, no matter how young you are!

I'm willing to hear you out, but there's so many DAW's paid and free, anything over 40 to $60 is a waste of money. There's enough free DAW's for PC and mobile that are already cutting edge and don't cost a dime. MPC Beats is bound to dominate everything particularly when you can run the entire DAW as a plugin on other DAW's. *I'm a Magix Music Maker guy for one specific reason; nobody, absolutely nobody else can compete with the speed of workflow.* I've learned literally well over a dozen DAW's over the last 20+ years and to great depths, but I still end up back on Magix. *It has functions that are toy-like but they're actually superior tactics for again, agility and speed of workflow.* I'm also not drowning in menus and submenus like virtually every other DAW on earth.

Reaper is the best but I preferred mixcraft9 for easier to used professionally..

I'm a daily Reaper user since 2014 and I don't think Reaper is the best DAW. It's good for a lot of purposes but there are many and many annoying situations (I could write a long list.) in practical use in which Cubase or Pro Tools are simply better. I'm a professional sound engineer and music producer, and I think claiming that Reaper is the best DAW is just silly.

Reaper works like a dream, just need to get the learning curve, the biggest problem with this is 'what can't it do', you don't realize what its capable of....and it's so small and efficient, just crazy.....

sounds good. will try this😊

I just downloaded it and it crashed during the install. I’ve never seen that on a Mac with any program period. I’m hoping that was a once off weird thing to never happen again 😂

I need to learn Reaper finally, thanks for the nudge. I have been using one of the oldest since it was a very different thing, Performer. It does everything I need it to, but not necessarily comfortably. I can see from demoing it and from tutorials that reaper is fantastic, robust, light, agile, and has a superlative community, unlike the horrors of MOTU land... worse than apple fans. I am gonna do it this summer, just have to engineer either a pause in workload or put in extra time.

Two you omitted are Digital Performer and Mixcraft. DP is at the Pro Tools $$$ level and not really for this thread. Mixcraft has only one major issue for me - it does not zoom to sample level. The basic and Pro versions differ only that "Pro" includes a lot of plugins, the core DAW is unchanged.

I'm such a reaper fanboy after using pro tools for many years. It's not surprising to me that this program has such a cult following

Going to save up for reaper for my daw starting my own music production company for my own podcast studio 🎙️😁

You sold me bru..

Can’t believe I’m just now realizing how great this DAW this

switched from Mac back to Windows and was looking for something similar to logic that would run on my machine. Gave reaper a try and never looked back - really slick and easy to use. Never gets in the way. The stock plugins sound great and barely use any system resources. Took a little while to find a layout I like, but now it's just exactly perfect. Can't say that about any other DAW.

Don't think so. Reaper is for nerds with too much time.

My favorite thing about reaper is that it's offline so internet disruption or weak service is no issue.

I’m fed up with Avid for so many reasons and I’m heading into all new territory as I abandon Pro Tools after many years. Thank you for this video. You’ve helped me make a decision! I’m going for Reaper!

I have a specific issue I have a Yamaha S08 and windows and my problem is MIDI clock - I can speak to my keyboard via DIN 5 and USB but I prefer DIN 5 MIDI but again the MIDI clock between keyboard and software doesn’t sync or stay locked to software between MIDI songs - any ideas to solve this issue? I keep my keyboard set at MIDI sync not Int sync…….. help

If you start with the free trial of reaper and customize it, is there a way to transfer the customization if you buy the application?

Serum? Clone factory 😂

Basic function of Reaper is so easy to understand. Not like FL studio or Cubase. ( I dont even know how to gain in cubase except using fader) Eat computer resource smallest to compare with FL studio and Cubase. Midi: FL studio need time to set up the pedals, and other two grid just up to 1/128 note. And reaper can adjust 1/1024 note and beyond. That impress me

Wow! Nothing about Dune3, Sylenth, Spire, Falcon, Halion, Phaseplant, FM8, Synthmaster/One, the Korg/Roland/Arturia collections, Rob Papen's synths? I mean, Hive is nice, but to leave out Sylenth? ANA is good, too, but no Falcon? I also like Pigments, but to include it while ignoring Synthmaster? And honestly, Vital is a superior wavetable synth to Serum which decidedly has no place sitting at #1. That should be held by Diva or Sylenth or Falcon. And honestly, Avenger is superior in every way to Omnisphere. It's less of a ROMpler and has vastly better sound quality, synthesis methods, and effects. Just my opinion, of course. You're free to your own opinions. But I do feel many of these really miss the mark.
