Axe-Master
While Reaper isn't perfect... it IS being incrementally improved. And for me anyway, $60 ($50 when I bought mine) is one heckuva deal for what you get with "free" upgrades.. - much like the Axe
When you put it up against most DAW's out there today - and that includes everything that I have used/seen from "high-end" stuff like SAW Studio, PT and Samplitude down to Cubase, Sonar and others - it's no contest!
OK-I just have to ask-You are saying Reaper is by far the best DAW available? Wow-quite a statement. Give me a break. AS I said before, I have installed it and uninstalled it so many times it's ridiculous. I keep saying let me try-that's 1,2,3 and 4.
The $$$ is the big winner for most and then it's touted as the best in the world, ..................defending that $60 daw? I think so. It is good, it has it's place.
I have been using midi since the 80's, yes the 80's. Had Alesis sequencer and drum machine for a duo. Then got a Kawai Q-80/ That actually was an advancement-it had a floppy drive for saving sequences. I made a good living using mid with duo's and trios .
Reapers midi has not nearly caught up.
But if you don't use midi (a lot) you wouldn't care. Understandable. And if there was any more text in the menus I would get dizzy. So please. Let's be fair, It's OK, real ggod for audio projects if you can handle the menus, I cannot.
I'm not defending Sonar, I am defending every other DAW that has been developed for many mnay years. Studio One V2 blows Reaper away.
To each his own. But the best-nope their isn't one.
