SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

P IV 2.6GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, 160 +500 gb SD card in the X24 phase terractec producer
- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
No particular problem. This software is lightweight (under 12 mb SD), no intensive ram (40 mb on an empty project, then the number of dpend track, virtual instruments and plug-ins utiliss ) and can run multiple instances!
- What performance? (If quantifiable)
Use with low latency (5-7 ms), I have little problem. Sometimes a small time limit between the click on the button "save" and The beginning of the recording but I think it comes from the large number of effects on the tracks south of Kontakt ... has nevertheless pnible and Drout.
- This software + hardware configuration is stable?
In fact, the only crash I had came from a plug-in rcalcitrant (on other squenceurs for that matter).

- How do you report qualitprix?
For a non-commercial use, the license is $ 50 ($ 225 retail) !!!!!! Cest almost given when compared to other squenceurs the march. Level of functionality is amazing considering the price. The report is qualitprix I havent afraid to say, the best of squenceurs gnralistes.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Jai put a lot of time designing my hardware-software configuration with constraints financires and know-how. Everything you invest in what sense is our answer to the needs, and should allow concrtiser the ides that a lon as musicians. Instruments (such as virtual ral) are one thing, and all the software is another. Culturally, jai hard rock 350 in a program that only serves matrialiser lon plays what and who is phmre. The few freeware available are not all the height, Reaper is a good compromise, the price is democratic and allows dACHETER for real, not on emule or other PtoP of Systm. So yes, Reaper is the software that most closely matches my needs. It shall not be perfect, as any such software dailleurs but REPRESENTATIVES lquilibre between functionality, usability and price.
