Any Pro Tools & Reaper Questions? Just Shout!

[AndyC]

Hi all.

Not sure how many Pro Tools or Reaper users there are here, but thought I'd see if anyone needed any questions answered? If you are wanting advice on buying a system or need some help with the setup or operating.... I'll do my best to help.

I've been using Pro Tools for many years for location recording, studio recording, film and audio and all that. Got experience with LE and HD rigs.

Additionally we started using Reaper for Mixdowns last year, its a great bit of software... if ya get any problems just shout and I'll see if I can suggest an answer.

I use Pro Tools. I've not heard of reaper. What is Reaper and why would you use it?

I haven't used protools for a while, and only dabble with reaper. it's a pretty cool platform, very flexible from what I see.

Is Reaper the one that's free? I remember hearing about a free DAW that has slowly been making waves in the scene.. aha, no pun intended there, sorry.

*edit: funny that the next thread I read would say this... Close enough, I guess!

If your laptop is running Windows, I don’t think you can beat Reaper for multi-track recording software. The evaluation version is not crippled in any way; aside from a nag screen, you are “on your honor” to buy the software (current price $40 USD) if you keep it after 30 days. To me, that meant I could evaluate it seriously, with “real projects,” knowing that my work wouldn’t be “held hostage” if I decided not to by it. (Yes, I did purchase Reaper.)
