AGREED! Reaper is GREAT....I switched from a Adobe Audition (cool
edit pro) a few years back and have never regretted it.


Reaper is my choice, too - it's very logically laid out, has very deep
features, is very customizable and extensible, and sounds great. What's
not to love??

I don't really compare it to Audition or Cool Edit, though. Those two
programs are really single audio file editors with some clunky multi-
track features bolted on. Reaper is first and foremost a multi-track
recorder. I still use my old version of Audition for surgical-type
audio editing.


For awhile, I used Reaper to record and mix everything and then master
in Audition...I guess I was just more familiar with it. Then I got a
new computer and didn't load Audition inti it, and have not used it
since. What I love about reaper is, I know what I need to
know....whenever anything else comes up...I simply go into Google and
typw "reaper blah blah blah" and get instant info from multiple
sources on what I am trying to do.
