Reaper definitely very comparable to Pro tools for mixing than other daws for song writing like FL, Ableton, Studio one. But the fact it's so flexible, you can create almost any workflow, there are scripts for many features that are niche in other daws and you can create your workflow faste than any other daw with some scripts.
Fantastic! I use both, i have been using Reaper quite a bit lately, i have Macs that won't update to latest OSX so i stuck at Logic 10.4.7 and 10.5.3 so my only option is to buy New M1 or wait for whatever is next from apple (M2)?, I have downloaded or made actions that replicate Logic's workflow or at least the main things i use in Logic, I've pretty much duplicated Cubases Drum editor as well, I will say all of Logic's built in instruments, sounds, and plugins is pretty much the best.
I'd be careful with updating anything Apple. Know that if you're thinking of it, do some research before hand. I know if I had an M1, my audio interface would be incompatible with it. just sayin. I loved Logic, but because their requirements are so rigid, I switched to Reaper.
Reaper is excellent ... Logic isn't too bad just a bit slow to load and very eye candish, I still use Logic occasionally. I'd say this however - Never limit yourself, learn as many DAW's as you can.
Let me add my ''voice'' on this as a producer who has been in the game for over 4 years. I've used Serato Studio, Fl Studio, Reaper and Logic (and very little of Cubase) I finally settled with Logic but I have to be honest that I loved REAPER the years I used it (and i still use it). it is such versatile especially in editing vocals. it is such a DAW that you can do literary anything and I mean, anything, you can even add fx in every segment. if someone learns well REAPER, it is such a program that you can 100% rely on and it is such easy. The reason I use mostly logic is because it became a little easier with beat making with the instruments (as well as fl studio) when I started using Mac. But most times I refer to Reaper when I need something extra especially when I record vocals. I am sorry but I can write a whole essay about Reaper.
reaper is amazing. out of the box it is quite unusable but once it’s fine tuned it is the most powerful mixing environment with lightning fast navigation.
The main things I would miss in switching from Logic to Reaper would be the Drummer feature, and the MIDI note editor ease of use. I am a Garageband/Logic user since I migrated from my Tascam and ZOOM four and eight track machines, so the learning curve is kinda' "up there." Worth a try, though, for proof-of-concept satisfaction, I guess...
I started using Sonar, but the audio engine was fragile so I transitioned to Reaper because it has a bullet proof audio engine, but MIDI and included instruments and effects were pretty basic so I tried ProTools and switched to Logic Pro which meant switch to MacOS at the same time. _Are there features that I miss from Reaper?_ *You bet!* Many, like the ability for multiple sample rates to co-exist in the same project and the audio engine just dealing with it. _Do I regret making the switch?_ *Hell no!* Logic is everything that Sonar aspired to be, but actually delivers, more or less. Everything is a compromise so one searches for what best suits their needs so YMMV. BTW, I can't think of anything I miss about Windows
Actually, although I'm not famous or anything at all, I'm pretty confident in my reaper skills and up to the challenge for anything you may come up with. It indeed would be a really realy interesting experiment
I just wanted to elaborate on a comment I made during the stream. One of my fave channels is Produce Like a Pro, which is hosted by Warren Huart. It's a great resource for everything having to do with recording... EXCEPT Logic Pro. Warren is a Pro Tools guy. He's had recent episodes with people pimping Reaper and Studio One, but the last time he had on anyone talking about Logic was 4-5 years ago, and Logic has definitely improved since then. I'd love to see you go on that channel and talk to Warren about Logic Pro.
As far as Reaper goes, to me it seems like more of a Pro Tools competitor. Lotta Pro Tools users go nuts for the third party plugins, and they're not really into having a lot of software synths and drum machines/drummer simulators. Seems like Logic/Ableton/Cubase/Studio One are for people who want to compose music and Pro Tools/Reaper are for people who want to mix music. Obviously you can do both in any DAW, but imagine someone downloading Reaper and saying "OK, I want to make a new song. Let me load up a drum machine, bass synth, and some type of Rhodes keyboard." Uh... go scour the Internet. Or just grab MainStage! If you're on a Mac, that is.
Bitwig is what i use mostly , none of the other daws Clicked with me and I record straight up old school recording Im NOT a sound designer. Bottom line is we are here to make music use whatever you like I get sick of people almost trying to force you to use what they use like a bunch of Zealots. Make music! the Beatles used a tape deck and crappy gear compared to our stuff, Bruce Springsteen on of his later albums was made on a 4 track tape deck in his lounge it was a brilliant album yet today we are so absorbed in all the things you can do now we dont make great music that people will rememebr ina year let alone 10 or 20. so I like to Strip it down to nothing and record a song that's a good song not one that requires hours of using your mouse. Its a big distraction all those options. Use whatever you want but focus on making a great song
I was referring to film/tv post production and not sound/music for video games. Although Wilbert Roget II seems to be doing amazing things, when the next Avengers movie is mixed in Reaper then I’ll believe. 🤣
@@LogicProLife Sure dude! just because it's industry standard even it's slow, bloated and unstable, it's better, just like how maya, max is better than Blender, Houdini lmfao. It's totally not like the biggest reason those big studios are stuck with pro tools is because they have invested big money in pro tools hd hardware and they don't have enough time to learn a new tool even If it miles better than the current software. Sure lmao.
You get no argument about any of that. I never claimed Pro Tools or even Logic was perfect. I bet Reaper continues to get adopted in more and more places.
@@LogicProLife Tori Letzler, Tj Lindgren, Steve Davis etc. You don't have to wait for the next avenger movie to be mixed in Reaper. TJ is a reaper users, and he has worked on Avengers age of Ultron, Justice League etc. Already.
I use logic pro to mix . but sounds different in Logic Pro and after bounce so I switch to reaper to learning how to mix I think, I love reaper so far but so many thing to lean in Reaper
Did they make a logic version for Windows? For Linux? At best you can hope to show that Logic is slightly better on some points if, and only if, you're running a McPuter :). You're challenge is not accepted, because you lost it already when you put it out :)
🤣 exactly true but if you watch the video you see that I’m not actually saying one is better in every situation. If I was using windows more often then I still wouldn’t use Reaper because it doesn’t offer the creative musical instruments that are in other DAWs. In that area Reaper is far behind.
@@LogicProLife Reaper doesn't come with a bundle of instruments, that's right, however there are dozens if not hundreds of free instruments on the net, so it's not something you feel any lack of IMHO Someone said: The best DAW is the one you know, like and use :)
I wasn’t dunking on reaper. In fact I said a lot of nice things about it. 🤣 However, there are other features Logic has which stand out… but if you’re somehow trying to insult Alchemy, Sculpture, and some of the other bundled instruments then you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Those are not bloat and are world class instruments.
Let's have some peace, I took the video as part serious, part tongue-in-cheek. My own original comment was also meant tongue in cheek. We all love making music. Here's something a little different, but definitely on topic : A reaper-lover listing 10 reaper drawbacks - first thing he mentions is actually your point: no instruments 😀
@@LogicProLife , Yes I do own my copy. When you pay 200 dollars for logic, or 60 dollars for Reaper, YOU OWN your COPY of it. It is physical and tangible in your hands. NO ONE can take it away from you. Pro Tools has moved to a subscription based pay. You stop paying and guess what happens?????? NO MORE Pro tools. You cannot use it, own it, etc. I on the other hand, OWN MY COPY of my software when it comes to Logic and Reaper.
@@LogicProLife , i have, and when I pay for my copy of logic, it's mine. NO one can take it. I own it for live. When you pay for a subscription DAW like Pro tools, you don't own a copy it of it. IF you stop paying your monthly subscription fee, YOU NO LONGER can use it. It really is a simple concept. I am not sure why it is so hard for your to understand. A 1st grader can understand this concept of buy to own a copy, as oppose to pay for a subscription and never own a copy.
We’re saying slightly different things. What you buy when you get Logic or Reaper is a license. It’s permission to use their software for a specific length of time. They retain all ownership of the software, but you get to use it for as long as the agreement. With Logic and repeat it’s a license which doesn’t end but you still don’t own it. With Pro Tools you pay for a license which last month to month. For that time period you have permission to use the software but it has an agreed upon end date. Neither Logic nor Reaper guarantee functionality to work on future versions of the operating system or endless free updates. In fact, If your computer dies and Apple closes their App Store (if they were to close as a company) then you’d be out of luck to re-download Logic and would never have access to it again. The App Store has made software much less permanent in many ways. But the license agreement (which you’ve said you’ve read) has other restrictions which make it clear you’re really just borrowing the software. I’m not trying to argue with you but semantics are actually important.
