Reaper vs sonar 8.5 code#
It is open source so it's editable on a code level if that's your thing. If your doing mainly audio work (not midi) and have some effects that are third party reaper is a solid choice. Overall it's my second or third daw of choice next to Samplitude, PT, audition, with audition being very clean sounding, having great effects, and spectral editing. Not sure how well midi works with it either. I found it's vsti stuff confusing and didn't bother with them. Something I disliked in Audition as well. I find it's stock pluggins weak, and I dislike the menu based selection, which seems antiquated. (Summing based on subjective listening) it's also got some cool, imho, page based features for mastering making it easy to make mix tweaks, in the middle of a mastering session, by essentially "freezing" your mix session on a page sepearte from the mastering session, easily acessable by tab. I find it's summing to be pretty good, not perfect, on par with digital performer and cubase ect, if not slightly better. It also does multichannel and high sample rates (11.1? 384k+). It's sound is clean, although not quite as much (clarity or headroom) as Samplitude or audition. Bussing and auxes maybe not so intuitive but I never even got that far.
I find it's metering good, and basic operation easy to jump into- editing, track creation/enabling, mixdown/rendering.
Reaper vs sonar 8.5 windows#
I've had good luck with reaper on all sorts of low power windows machines. I have no experience with Mixbus, but know a couple members here like it.
Reaper vs sonar 8.5 driver#
Samplitude is in a different league (as it should be when you compare the price brackets), and I won't elaborate further on it here, other than saying that it constantly makes you realise what is missing from the lower-cost DAWs.Īll these DAWs are interface-independent, so other than a quick compatibility and driver check before you finally settle on one, you don't need to factor that into your DAW choice. There is a good on-line support community, although it feels a bit disconnected from the product. Reaper takes a while to get used to - for me, it was not immediately intuitive to get beyond the first steps. The stock libraries are somewhat disappointing, particularly in the area of dynamics. Things I like about Reaper are its lightness of demand on the CPU, ease of comping tracks and good graphical manipulation on the screen. The stock compressors work acceptably well, but I don't like the stock EQs - they have the feel of being made to be limiting in operation and difficult to operate on a large screen, probably so that users purchase the add-on fully-graphic EQs at a cost more than double that of the whole package. Things I like about Mixbus 4 are its layout, signal flow, emulation of gain staging, operational convenience (knob per function) and, importantly, its sound. I also use Audacity for simple 2-track capture and topping/tailing. I use both Mixbus 4 and Reaper on a PC, but also Samplitude for more demanding jobs.
