Cockos Reaper is one of the most advanced programs for creating music, both in the studio and at home. The main “trick” of the program is that it has pattern, keyboard and audio editing. You can specify an unlimited number of audio or midi tracks, not counting how many virtual instruments of the VST format can be added.
Reaper does not take up so much space on the hard drive and does not load the processor, like programs from the FL Studio, Cubase, Reason or Sonar series. With this program you can work even on low-power computers with sound cards that do not support Full duplex operating modes. Although, if the soundcard supports this mode, you will get unlimited opportunities to create your own compositions with professional sound even in formats such as 5 + 1, and with additional plug-ins, even 7 + 1.
A huge plus of the program is that it supports VST / VST3, not counting support for DirectX plugins. You can use both the built-in audio or midi tracks editing tools and third-party plug-ins. The program also supports the ReWire virtual instrument connection system. Thanks to a harmonious interface, you can always see what you are editing at the moment. A virtual multi-channel remote control is always in front of your eyes – with its help you can instantly perform operations with changing the volume, editing effects on a single track, and on the Master track.
