Reaper really is an app that you can take anywhere and use on practically any system. The biggest change is that Reaper is cross-platform these days, and will run on PPC and Intel-based Macs, which increases the software's already impressive portability. What's new?Ĭockos has added tons of new features to Reaper since we reviewed v2 in 123 - far too many to even list - so we'll cover the most important here. These effects might not be packed with character, but for bread-and-butter processing, they certainly do a good job.Īlso included are literally dozens and dozens of effects created with Cockos' Jesusonic effects development environment (which comes with Reaper), enabling you to create and compile your own effects, or edit the included ones. The program does come with some decent effects in the form of the ReaPlugs FX suite, though, including delights like a sidechainable compressor and gate multiband compression and EQ, each with as many bands as you like an unlimited tap delay and an FFT-based dynamics processor.
Reaper has sophisticated audio and MIDI routing capabilities, plus its tracks can don't have to be assigned as either audio or MIDI - a single track type handles both, making it easy to set up audio effects that output or receive MIDI data, sidechain routing and so on.Īs the small installer size indicates, you don't exactly get a huge library of sounds to work with - the included instruments, aside from the useful but basic ReaSamplomatic 5000, are simplistic at best.
And unlike most similar programs, Reaper loads incredibly quickly, so in just a few seconds you can go from the desktop to recording.Īnother advantage of the software is its flexibility. For starters, it's got a very light system footprint - the installers for each format are only a few megabytes, and the software can even run from a USB stick. So far, so ordinary, but Reaper has plenty of attributes that make it worth considering over more established offerings.
