So I always loved Reaper...

I think Adam is saying it's running off of the iPod. Which is pretty nuts, :lol:

Really cool capabilities for Reaper. I'd like to see it get bigger, personally. It's the first extremely inexpensive host to contend with the commercial shit that's been around. I still need to d/l the beta for OSX...

Do iiiit!

I'm running it on OSX, and the current version is pretty solid already. The first one I tried had some issues with graphics and some letters (äö mainly, and they're common in Finnish), otherwise I haven't really noticed anything, except DFHS's window gets fucked when you change the pages on it.

Antti, I know that you know that you shouldn't use scandinavian letters in anything related to computing ;)
 
I downloaded the OSX-beta a while ago and wasn't really pleased with it. I'm a logic-user and love the program, but I really hoped, that reaper would be another alternative to it. Unfortunately I found it very confusing and (sorry) butt-ugly :D

Maybe I need to give it a second chance. I like the idea of having a portable DAW with me ;)

There's a shedload of skins to choose from, or you can make one that pleases your eye yourself. :) But I guess you knew that already. :)

Yeah, truth is I never experienced the problem myself, but heard complaints about it so I decided to mention it. Would've been possible that I'd had a track like "säröbasso" or something, but I always name all the tracks in English so I didn't.

True, the suckiness of midi is one of the things that I really don't like in it, but that's not OS related.
 
Gonna try record a little something in Reaper to learn it... it really seems like a good program for someone like me who doesn't make money from music but still wants to move away from pirated crap (currently using Ableton Live, not so legally which I hate doing). 50$ for Reaper is like... nothing, given the fact that Reaper is a full and complete DAW.

I just need to get into it first, make a little song, do some midi too, mix and voila, I should know all the basics :) Then it's buy time!

That's what I did this summer, and I haven't looked back since! :)

I prefer the default skin to that honestly :lol: I think it's nice and simple, doesn't hurt my eyes or anything.

I bought my Reaper in a group order, so I paid only €27 for it, and I think it's absolutely nothing for something that good.

Yes, of course I did know that and I also tried out the Logic-skin another user mentioned - but actually I feel with Reaper like I felt with Linux, when I thought, I have to check it out. Something just didn't feel right with it. You can make Linux look like OSX/Windows, too - but it stays a Linux-distribution.

I really dig the principle behind Reaper and I actually really like the look of the arrangement-window itself (the small "bar-markers" in the audio-graphics and other small cool things) - but on the other hand everything seems huge and space-consuming (the fader-graphics and the buttons for example). Another big drawback is the strange integration of MIDI, especially for programming drums (okay, okay - Logic's MIDI-integration isn't that great either).

Well, this is purely my own opinion and I would encourage everyone to check out reaper - it's just that is has all these small drawbacks, I don't like. ;)
