Ton of us here use it. It does allow for 3rd party impulses but it can be a pain in the dick about it.

Much easier to just load up an IR loader and go with that.

Used Cubase and Nuendo on and off for years. Absolutely hate Reaper. Just not intuitive for me at all. YMMV and all that but

I love Reaper.

I've never used impulses with it.

If you like Cubase and are familiar with it then don't change. I doubt Reaper will give you anything that Cubase doesn't already do for you. There's no reason to switch.

Examples?

Cubase has pissed me off about using 3rd party IR's to the point where I'm ditching it for another DAW, so...

Sometimes multiple instances of it running at same time can cause stuttering or glitching is all.

I used to think it was just on my laptop but a buddy I record with uses a pretty powerful desktop and we ran into the same issues during a session. This was running something like 45 tracks so it might not be a problem for you, but we both just switched to IR loaders since and no problems.

Other than that I really like Reaper....does almost everything that the big boys do and costs $60.

I'm pretty sure that Cubase could run NadIR, which is a free IR loader and the cool thing is you can load IR's in Stereo or Dual Mono and blend them. It's a great IR loader.

I wouldn't switch from Cubase to Reaper just because of IR's just yet. Try out NadIR.

hmm, I see.

Reaper is solid. I've gotten used to working in it but it was not intuitive for me at all. I had a lot of hangups in the beginning but I'm getting really comfortable lately. For the money I don't think there's a better option.

I dig Reaper. Its intuitive, but has lots of little features that a guy probably wouldnt find till he started reading & watching youtube vids.
I am able to use IR's no problem.
A friend of mine has Logic Pro, which seems similar & wouldnt be a huge transition to learn. It has a bitchen drum plugin built in.


My biggest beef at the moment seems to be that most of these dont seems to allow you to save shit in a cross-daw manner.

I used Cubase for ever. Switched to Reaper and I couldn't be happier. The routing possibilities are insane.
I got up and running fairly quickly with the videos on their website.

Used it for a while, switched back to Cubase.

You gotsta save each track as a separate WAV file and import into the other DAW. Pain in the ass but, it's sometimes better than rerecording everything.

Yeah, true.. Not that hard really either. The biggest problem is DOING it if youve got lots of channels, & then EQ, pluggins, etc.
Just seems like it'd be no real skin off their backs to standardize certain things.

Man, the world would be an easier place to live in if everything was standardized!
We should have gone metric, back in the 70's, when the government was pushing it - now, you have to have two sets of tools.

We put a man on the moon in SAE!!!

What are you? A commie?

I tried Reaper for a bit, i actually really like Mixcraft. Super easy to use, lots of features, supports pretty much anything you throw at it. It also gets regular updates.

Thats cool dude...
I started out with Cool edit pro, back when, & it was fine for what I was doing. But when I got a new system, I wanted a good up to date DAW, & cooledit was bought by Adope & they fucked it up pretty bad. I tried Reaper, & it was basically intuitive & solid.

Tried pretty much everything and always go back to Reaper. Just does what I need and works perfect every time. Don't think I have ever had a problem that was Reaper based. Tons of great tutorials on it out there and they have a fantastic user support base and forums. Oh yeah and themes to make it look like whatever you like. I use the API looking one and sometimes the White Tie one I think it's called. Last but not least comes with a bunch of plugins to get you started. REAPER FTW... Never look back.

One thing that had me pissed.. Im recording, quickly hitting shortcut keys with a guitar in hand, when all the tracks went skinny. I manually re-expanded each one, but something was funny.. I couldnt figure out what Id hit to make it happen.
Months later, Im doing something random & figured out it was the tilde key.......

So anyhow, if anyones ever had that happen... now ya know.

Conformity... it's the only true freedom!

Reaper is srsly the most overrated DAW ever. You only see it recommended so often because it is cheap.
If you want to work professionally like i do you have to learn Logic.

That's how the Weber does it.

Sorry but that is NOT how the Weber does it and your whole idea is simply not going to work.

Sorry - you forgot to say sorry this time.

why such a dick - you mad bro????



...... no offense

'no offense'? Right.
I better go back to TGP, people on this forum seem a bit rude and /offensive/.
Especially people that post anonymous because they are ashamed of their playing or something.

Alt, right?
