REAPER reviews

Very easy to use

Pluspunten:

The simplicity of its use, its low weight and low requirements to be able to function

Minpunten:

The built-in libraries and effects are very few, which forces you to search from other sources

Reaper is the best DAW at any price

Opmerkingen: I love it. It's made it possible to record at home with a minimal investment.

Pluspunten:

Price and feature set; learning curve; community

Minpunten:

The frequency of updates is a little concerning. I'd rather see fewer and more significant updates.

Reaper of wallet

Opmerkingen: May if monthly low cost fee I MAY not mind using. Or even a whole selection of overall understanding feature breakdown wouldn't been too bad. I liked certain features, but it was too confusing what and how to use.

Pluspunten:

I enjoy the hovering over the setting and education of what it would do. As well the sound quality captured is good.

Minpunten:

It surprised me when the app inform me that I would be charged within the 3rd time using it. I hate how money hungry it seem. As well there was no outline to study what or how to use anything.

Better Than Protools!

Opmerkingen: It does everything I need it to do as a professional producer.

Pluspunten:

It’s not a RAM or resource hog, like Protools.

Minpunten:

I wish the keyboard commands were easier to program.

Absolutely Fantastic DAW for Musicians

Opmerkingen: It's incredible and versatile. It does everything I need to for my music recording sessions and even video editing!

Pluspunten:

It does absolutely everything any other DAW boasts about through the community-driven plugins and scripts. It's a little tricky to get into at first, but with the wealth of tutorials online, it's easy to learn and begin producing music.

Minpunten:

The steep learning curve is a lot to take in at first, but honestly, the available resources online make learning a breeze if you're willing to put in the time and effort to learn the program.

best workhorse with unlimited possibilities

Opmerkingen: open to unlimited possibilities and customer centric.

Pluspunten:

I was a bit hesitant to try out or even think that i could switch to using Reaper as my main DAW. I think i lean more towards mainstream softwares if there is anything like that. Just like many DAW users, the frustrations of freezes and crashes compelled me to look for alternatives. I am indebted to my friend who recommended Reaper. Firstly, Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of 32 bits ‘legacy plugins’ which have given a unique identity to my work. Unfortunately, they could not integrate them well with most DAWs. No problem at all with Reaper. Secondly, I had enough trial period with Reaper both for getting comfortable with it and proving the much hype about it. This thing rarely crashed. I finally decided to buy it at only $60. Lastly, expect updates and more updates. They never stop coming. I am very at home with Reaper.

Minpunten:

It is both the good and the bad. I generally like sort of a mainstream platform without a lot overboard customization. However, i like the ability to customize actions in Reaper. The learning curve can be steep but well worth it.

Stability is Reaper's Greatest Asset Compared to Leading Competitors.

Opmerkingen: I would not jump from this music software package to anything else now having seen how far I can reach musically now because I have learned the shortcuts to make music.

Pluspunten:

Reaper's stability is undoubtebly one of it's strongest features compared to other leading competitors. Never in 2 years has it ever crashed! Even the load time and resources used barely affects my RAM.

Minpunten:

To get the best out of Reaper, follow Reaper's video tutorials on Youtube. You will save your self hundreds of hours of setting up and learning all of the features. I didn't do this and learned the hard way.

Great software for independent artists

Opmerkingen: I started using Reaper when I realized that my version of Cubase was obsolete. A friend recommended it and I tried it, band members started using it as well and now we can teach each other things. I use Reaper on Windows now and have not tried the Linux build but I think that's great! I used to run Reaper on a laptop I found in a dumpster, the Windows build run through WINE in Ubuntu. I didn't have any issues, but I think I only used it for editing, maybe not for recording.

Pluspunten:

It was free to try and there are tons of tutorials online and other people using Reaper to learn tips and how to use it. It's similar enough to the other programs I've used (Cubase/Protools) that I could jump in and learn from there. The EQ plugin interface is very nice as well. I find it is very convenient to use the waveform and move/change band points.

Minpunten:

The only problems I've run into have involved things that I overlooked or didn't completely understand. I have been able to fix them, easily though not always quickly. I can't say that I have anything I like least about it. It's great.

Customizable DAW for College Dropout

Pluspunten:

Reaper is so easy to use and learn with lots of customizability for how you want your layout to look. I've mixed literally thousands of hours in the program and it's the only program I mix with now.

Minpunten:

The only downside of Reaper I can think of is that it doesn't come with a suite of cutting edge plug-ins or have an option to purchase different tiers of the program with elite plugins included.

Reaper offers great flexibility at an incredible price point

Opmerkingen: Reaper has opened up several workflow improvements and allows better collaboration with other reaper users. VST support is strong and the stability under load improves productivity.

Pluspunten:

Very lightweight, bloat free yet fully featured DAW software that installs and loads really quickly. The sheer flexibility and customisation available is almost overwhelming but offers a tailormade solution for most users. It runs well and seems incredibly stable.

Minpunten:

Initial options for customisation can appear a little overwhelming and a new, different workflow layout can cause several head scratching moments. The user community is very passionate, knowledgeable and helpful and are happy to guide through the initial acclimatisation process.

Il software dalle prime armi per la musica e la registrazione

Pluspunten:

Ho cominciato ad utilizzare questo software circa 5 o 6 anni fa, per la registrazione ed il mixaggio di alcuni pezzi e devo dire che mi sono trovato veramente bene non avendo nessuna esperienza per quanto riguarda l'ambito della musica elettronica, il software si presta molto bene nel senso che è molto facile da utilizzare, quindi lo Consiglio vivamente a tutti quelli che si stanno avvicinando al mondo della musica elettronica

Minpunten:

Nel complesso non c'è molto da segnalare, anche perché è un software fatto molto bene, e nel mio caso diciamo che ho imparato subito a padroneggiarlo, quindi non ho molto da segnalare

Un DAW qui surpasse Avid

Opmerkingen: J'ai découvert Reaper en cherchant un DAW gratuit. Après avoir utilisé pendant plusieurs mois sa version gratuite en freemium, j'ai pris une licence, qui est très peu chère. C'est actuellement mon DAW quotidien pour les mix audio de mes montages vidéos.

Pluspunten:

Le prix, la durée de la licence, la version gratuite "winrar" (aucune durée), les scripts

Minpunten:

Prend beaucoup de temps à être configuré, interface un peu austère, complexité de mettre en place des choses simples

Reaper audio review

Pluspunten:

It'q cheaper and works well on all type of computers

Minpunten:

Nothing, i like it all it it. No bug, no pain.

Completo e ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Non per neofiti

Opmerkingen: Sicuramente quando voglio formare persone all'uso di una DAW, Reaper è molto meglio di Audacity, un milione di volte meglio... ma non è così intuitivo inizialmente e potrebbe spaventare

Pluspunten:

Sicuramente il fatto che una daw così completa sia distribuita (prima) gratuitamente o con un contributo minimo è un ottimo vantaggio.

Minpunten:

Se dovessi consigliarlo ad un neofita, non lo troverei molto intuitivo. Ci sono software più intuitivi per chi parte. Chi fa già questo di mestiere usa software più professionali. E' una vita di mezzo insomma

Mi opinión sobre REAPER

Opmerkingen: Es bueno el programa y tiene todas las funcionalidades que se requieren para grabar y procesar música con calidad. En fin, es una buena opción.

Pluspunten:

Tiene una agradable interfaz, es fácil de usar y está disponible gratis lo cual lo hace una gran opción.

Minpunten:

En el área de edición de audio no es tan efectivo como podría ser lo cual denota que este no es su fuerte.

Reaper audio recording software

Opmerkingen: Overall I'm very impressed with this software and will continue to use it as my daily recording software

Pluspunten:

I like the fact that the price is right and it is a top competitor with the more expensive software

Minpunten:

They have to many options for a beginner and should have advanced and beginner setting to fix this issue.

Powerful tool for audio manipulation and third party integration.

Opmerkingen: Reaper is a great software though took a lot of investment in time to learn it. The piano roll can be a powerful tool for editing and arranging midi tracks but can represent some challenges. It allows third party integration and automation in Reaper is perfect!

Pluspunten:

One of the standout features of Reaper is its ability to integrate with third-party software and hardware. This includes support for VST plugins, which allow users to add a wide range of virtual of virtual instruments and audio effects to tracks. In itself, Reaper comes with a built-in virtual instrument ReaSynth. Although it is a basic synthesizer, I have been able to use to create a wide range of sounds. This synth offers a number of different parameters that I am able to adjust and create quite unique sounds, control oscillator waveform, filter and envelope settings. Therefore on the side of in built and integrated virtual instruments, Reaper covers all grounds to allow any user to expand capabilities within it. When it comes to audio manipulation, the program allows auto adjustment of volume and panning tracks and ability to align audio clips to a specific grid. Additionally, users can control how the program handles changes to the audio over time like choosing to have the automation changes to be applied smoothly etc.

Minpunten:

The main challenge I encounter with Reaper is that the piano roll can easily become cluttered when working with complex Midi tracks. This can make it difficult to see and edit individual notes especially when there are a large number of notes in a track. Additionally, the piano roll can be difficult to use for editing the timing of individual notes. This is because the piano roll only shows the pitch of each note, not the pricise timing.

A DAW That Challenges Standards

Opmerkingen: I had to learn REAPER for a gaming audio job, and it was very tough to get used to coming from Pro Tools, Cubase, et al., compared to other DAWs. The right-click mouse selection was particularly painful: no other DAW works like this, and it's hard to see what the benefit of this is. I often would summon a right-click menu instead of a selection and you still use the standard left-click selection for most things, causing more confusion. Despite REAPER's customizability, I could never change this to work like other DAWs. But that being said, REAPER is incredibly fast, light, and reliable. Once I dug into Actions, I immediately missed it on other DAWs. But ultimately, REAPER is a bit too much of an odd duck for me. But I would happily recommend it as a fully professional DAW.

Pluspunten:

REAPER is almost limitless in scope: virtually everything about the app can be customized, with powerful actions (macros) and scripts that can automate complex tasks. The small footprint and low price explains why it has such a large, loyal user base, and the powerful batch tools show why REAPER has wide adoption in the gaming industry. REAPER is definitely a contender for the "best DAW".

Minpunten:

REAPER's interface can be very intimidating, with extremely small, hard-to-read fonts, and no included instruments or sounds. Furthermore, there are some very counterintuitive functions, like using right-click to select audio clips (trying to change this in Preferences is a real headache that I could never resolve) that will cause headaches for new users. Experienced users will also come across features they need that are missing, with feature requests dating back years.

Reaper is a professional sound production tool for everyone. I recommend it.

Opmerkingen: My experience has been the greatest. I finally found a professional and easy software to produce, mix and master my sounds, and increase my costumers in my studio. Thanks.

Pluspunten:

One of the great features, is the easy and intuitive interface, and professional commands to manage sound. Great mixing and much more features. This software changed my life, and my costumers are very happy with the results. Thanks to the developers.

Minpunten:

I don't have a thing to complain yet. But sometimes it just has some bugs. But maybe this is a problem with my computer memory. Beside this, I love it.

Reaper, when the community makes a daw great.

Pluspunten:

Reaper is the daw you always wanted if you are looking for a great community that will welcome you with open arms, in my opinion, the ability of the developers of this daw to listen to the community is undoubtedly the best of this software. despite its visual ineffectiveness, reaper is the right alternative for Linux users, because this daw bets for simplicity and compatibility with any operating system, leaving aside more visual or unnecessary aspects.

Minpunten:

Reaper can look intimidating, it looks like software from the '00s rather than a current daw, usually, people who want to give a chance to this daw are novices in the field of music production, so they might be overwhelmed by many aspects of this daw, either the poor quality in the visual aspect, the unpopularity of this daw in the mainstream or simply the prejudices that each person may have.

The go-to DAW for anyone starting out - even if you have no budget!

Opmerkingen: After having used REAPER for over a decade, I can proudly say that it was the best investment I've made in terms of time and money. Starting out with a shoestring budget right out of college, REAPER was the only piece of audio production software I could afford. 14+ years later, it still delivers beyond any other DAW I've used before. For anyone starting out reading this, please go ahead with closed eyes. The software is strong and the community is stronger. There is absolutely no place for regrets!

Pluspunten:

The relatively inexpensive start up costs is what helped with choosing REAPER. The wide array of included plugins, with industry leading levels of customization - this is why REAPER is one of the best in the industry. To top it all off, the ease of setup and use, regardless of the use case, is what makes this the best software out there. From recording to mixing to mastering, every step of the process can be easily accomplished with REAPER - no third party needed.

Minpunten:

To be honest, REAPER is a little too perfect thanks to its constant update cycle and bug fixes. Add to it a robust community that develops and supports each other, there's nothing left to be desired.

For experts and begginers

Opmerkingen: After two years using this DAW, i definitely won't change anything of the software, the way that the company offers the DAW is really generous, i'm not welling to give a chance to other software.

Pluspunten:

In my opinion, Reaper is the most friendly software to use among all the options that someone could choose. It is easy to use, easy to watch, you have a great work flow with the interface and also the native plugins are so good and have a great quality.

Minpunten:

I think that the only thing that i dislike is the design of the desing of the native plugins, it is so simple, maybe if developers change this just a little bit, with some colors and different icons, people would use it more.

reaper is one of the best music editing programs available today.

Opmerkingen: thanks to reaper i have grown but as a producer my productions are well accepted by the listeners and artists who frequent my producer note 10.

Pluspunten:

the program has good voice capture good quality effects and I practice super agile and I recommend it to all music producers.

Minpunten:

Until today, I don't have any criticism because I use it normally and it has made it easier for me in my production work. I love Reaper.

Un software professionale e completo

Opmerkingen: Io utilizzo Reaper per produrre musica e registrare strumenti dal vivo e l'unione con Reason (utilizzato come VST) mi permette di avere un software davvero completo e, grazie alle personalizzazioni, permette un workflow rapido e ottimale

Pluspunten:

Reaper è una DAW potente ma soprattuto flessibile. Mi piace che sia facilmente personalizzabile e che abbia una vasta gamma di strumenti e funzionalità, tra cui la possibilità di utilizzare plug-in di terze parti. Inoltre, ha un prezzo accessibile rispetto ad altre DAW e può essere utilizzato gratuitamente senza limitazioni.

Minpunten:

Reaper è sicuramente più sbilanciato verso il lato mix e mastering e chi si approccia invece per produrre musica può riscontrare un pò di difficoltà. In generale l'interfaccia utente può essere un po' scomoda da usare se non si è familiarizzati con essa, e alcune funzionalità avanzate richiedono un po' di tempo per essere imparate ma una volta acquisite trasformano Reaper nella DAW più potente e personalizzabile sul mercato.

Best DAE with the best trial deal

Opmerkingen: For beginners and professionals, you can do whatever you want,

Pluspunten:

Not only for low budget is good, but also is open source, it’s the best daw for computer with low resources, the almost perfect daw

Minpunten:

The UI can be a little scary and old fashioned but there are tons of themes
