Teaching Reaper computer studio suite..

[Jules]

anyone out there use 'reaper' for recording? This thingy here- http://www.reaper.fm/ Value for money it looks excellent (and one of my buddies has flagged it as a good quality bit of kit) but I'd be interested in anyone's first hand opinion.....

Looks like you can try it free for 30 days, best to try it out and see if it fits your needs.

The trial doesn't lose any functionality after the 30 days, but your conscience should cut in at around that point. Reaper is excellent, a huge amount of features at a very sensible price. When it came to actually parting with money though, I opted for Mixcraft from Acoustica ( http://www.acoustica.com/mixcraft/ similar price to Reaper, cheaper if you can find an online 20% off code). It doesn't do as many things as Reaper, but does more than enough for most people and in what I found to be a much simpler way, much less of the "I know what I want to do and I know you can do it...but how???". Suggest you download their trial and give it a go as well. I tried many other products, but in the end it was down to these two.
