I mean, it’s not just a REAPER manual, is actually a real manual about recording, mixing, effects, etc. Very intuitive and simple.īut it seems to me somehow limited: for example, I do not see how to set the recording level (not to transient in concrete values: -13dB values, for instance – the value that my interface advises), and when I tried Reaper, it seems possible to do this: you just arm the track, and set the wanted record volume (you even see the light peaking – it’s a simple thing, but very important to assure we do not ruin good performances).īut, my main reason to consider to move to REAPER, and I’m sure you will think that’s a really stupid reason: is the wonderful user manual!!! I can see it's really easy to work with it.

A long time ago, but I was very busy at the time, so I’m just really starting to discover MIXCRAFT also. Tried Ardour (Linux DAW) but it appears to difficult to work either.Īnd I also have Mixcraft 5, for a long time now. I tried a little of Cubase 5 Se or LE (it came along with my interface), but really dislike it. I am a beginner and I've been researching some things about recording and production, reading a lot, seeing a lot of videos etc. But I must confess that I'm really tempted to move to the Reaper.
