Published on 08/20/11 at 14:07Ultra-fast and easy installation with a very small exe file, incredible
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Vista 64 bits (core 2 quad, 4 Gb RAM)
It works really well, much more responsive than my old Cubase SX2
I'm only discovering the software (I will update my review after a couple of months of use). For the moment, it's excellent!
Reaper supports VSTs without problems and you can apply effects to virtual instruments in real time - radical!
What's more, it is very customizable, which allows you to gain time: It's the software that adapts to the user not the other way around.
Perfect stability up to now.
OVERALL OPINION
I'm still in the learning phase, I used to work with Cubase (SX1 and then SX2) but now I realize how badly I needed to get rid of it!
The value for money is incredible ($60 for an amateur/semi-pro user) because this Reaper appears to be really powerful.
It probably isn't as rich and powerful as the major DAWs (I'm not an expert that pushes the sequences to extremes), but it's more than enough to make demos at home.
Thank you Reaper, I have finally found the product that truly fits my needs, and for a more-than-fair price.
