No remarks.
OVERALL OPINION
I had been using cubase for several years and was starting to get tired of its lack of versatility, its crashes, incompatibilities, things you have to spend hours setting up to end up with nothing special, the transport bar that disappears when you switch from two to one screen, etc.
Imagine a program where YOU decide everything. You create your own toolbars depending on YOUR needs, placing there the tools that are useful to you. For example, an editing toolbar, a recording toolbar, etc.
Imagine a program where you can create and customize shortcuts (keyboard, mouse or icons) and assign them to WHATEVER YOU WANT. For example, to split a track at the next transient, to zoom out on the entire project by minimizing the margin stop of the tracks, to create a track with effects and in/out assigned in one single click.
Imagine a program where every track has an internal routing of 64 channels. That's why this software completely SMASHES all others. You can use the channels to split your track in several frequency ranges, for example. And from there, everything is possible. For example make everything below 200 Hz mono, expand the stereo image between 300 Hz and 500 Hz, boost the harmonics between 6000 Hz and 8000hz, compress different frequency ranges with different compressors. And that for EVERY single track!
You can also split your signal into Mid and Side to process them separately with any plug-in. In short, the possibilities are REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HUGE!
Oh, yeah, Reaper costs 60 bucks.
A word to the wise.
PS: It takes some time in the beginning to learn the customized functions, how to customize toolbars, how to use the 64 channels per track, etc. But once you've got past that, it's a real JOY.
