    Default ANyone use Reaper?

    I'm making dubstep and remixes. Been using Ableton, but waiting on 64 bit stable version. With Reaper being only $60, considering buying it as my main 64 bit DAW, as I also write some film scores etc.

    Anyone have experience of making house, dubstep, electro, remixing etc in Reaper?
    Ableton 9.7.5, Native Instruments Komplete Ultimate 11, MOTU 828 Mk2, Nektar Impact LX61+, Ableton Push, Native Instruments Kore 2, and a random selection of soft synths and sample libraries.
    Windows 10 Pro 64 bit with Core i7 4960X Extreme Edition 12 core CPU, 64GB RAM, SanDisk Ultra Extreme SSDs and a GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming GPU.

    Eh, Reaper's okay. The fact that I needed to get a third party WAV editor really put me off.

    I use Reaper for cassette and vinyl restorations, and for non-edm projects. Ableton just has a better work flow for production work IMO.
    I hear an 8hz sinewave can make a whole room of dubstep producers simultaneously stroke their beards.


    Even if they havnt got one.

    I have Reaper for listening back purposes on my internet PC. I think it is a good application and fairly stable. I was thinking about it for a music production machine but opted for Cubase 6.5 simply because it has more intuitive MIDI editing and I already know it. I have no doubt Reaper will be as good as these major players very soon (if it is not already there)

    Reaper is very good. I recently switched back to Cubase 6.5... because of some better midi editing and a few other things.

    But for the $ nothing can beat reaper. It does everything you ask.. although be it a bit more akward at times.
