Reaper

[Tachy]

Hi guys, I hear lot of people using reaper, but it's a free multitrack program?
And it works well in intel macs?
I have nuendo 4 installed on my mac, and I'm curios to try reaper, can I install it without problem?
Thanks!

It is the best (kinda free but not really) multitrack for my needs.

AFAIK it doesnt work well on macs (yet)

Yeah I love it too, but have also heard that the Mac version needs refining.

Its free to try, but you are expected you to pay for it if you continue to use it. The personal license is well worth it if your recording yourself and the pro license is still a great deal if your making money from your recordings.

The Mac version is a little underwhelming at the moment as its still in pre beta, but have I been running the PC version in bootcamp until the Mac version is up to speed. I tried the program with no expectations and ended up slowly switching from Protools LE. Now Reaper my go too DAW. Great program!

I was wondering, by the way - how are the stock plugins in Reaper?

stock plugs are pretty decent.....i use the comp, reverb, and a few others too.

I like reaper alot! Wayyyy better than when I tried Audition, sonar, cubase, and cool edit. Not sure about Nuendo or Protools.

Pretty good, plus you get loads... Saying that I only really use the EQ, Multi-band Comp and the Reverb, too much other free stuff out there!
