Reaper is probably the most affordable out of all major DAWs available on the market today. Whether you’re looking to produce music, film audio, voiceovers or podcasts, you should keep Reaper on the top of your list as one of your best options.
Sound-On-Sound magazine recently wrote: “…if you forced me to work exclusively with any single software package, I’d choose REAPER any day.”
So what’s the deal? Can this software actually keep up with other popular DAWs? At $60 for a license!? It absolutely can!
Once you set it up correctly, it is one of the fastest and most efficient DAWs out there. With an emphasis on ‘once you set it up correctly’.
Otherwise, its high customizability and multitude of advanced features might make your head spin at first glance.
In this course, professional engineer and one of the earliest adopters of Reaper, Adam Steel, shows you how to get off on the right foot with Reaper and make it a digital workhorse, which’ll have you pump out pro-grade audio projects by the dozens.
Learn how to perform the initial setup and optimize your system, discover how to record, edit and mix audio to a professional standard and understand the little-known features of Reaper that will significantly speed up your workflow.
With 71 chapters and 9 hours of detailed instruction, The Ultimate Reaper Guide will teach you everything you ever need to know about Reaper. And I promise you: it is worth it!
It will save you weeks, if not months, of painful trial and error and allow you to spend your time producing amazing audio projects instead.

He has been professionally recording and mixing music and film sound for over 15 years, using Reaper for most of that time - garnering a reputation as a leader in the Reaper field. Through his studio, Hop Pole Studios, Adam has worked on commercial projects for Suzuki, Colgate, Nike, Manchester United to name a few, ranging from post-production editing and full album production in genres as varied as Pop Punk, Metal, Gospel and French Hip-hop to studio ADR to on-set sound production.

What is the most important feature for your DAW of choice to have?

@royglennie 4 года назад

I'd have to say it has to be no-nonsense. There are so many programs these days have unneccesary stuff, for example I hate Microsoft Word as it tries too hard to do things other than word processing, it gets too complicated!

Most important feature? I would say recording 😜

@ns1983za 4 года назад

A pleasant GUI. I'm visually impaired so this is very important for me, and that is basically the only reason why I still use Pro Tools - it looks really clear, the colours are nice and there's not too much on the screen; I also don't have to use the mixer view to access inserts and sends. If Reaper had the looks, I'd be sold.

This course has come at the perfect time as I am expanding my mic kit for instrument recording at home, drums, bass, guitars and keys...I am the band/engineer and producer! Thank you Warren, Adam and Reaper!

@DThompson55 3 года назад

Working in REAPER this week, I've got nearly 140 cellphone videos from a high school orchestra, each recorded to a metronome. I'm stitching them all together to make a spring concert. I pull all of the video files into REAPER, all 140 of them at once. I slide them around so the starting note of each video is on the starting click at measure 5. Some of the kids count in, one two three four, which helps a little. Then using the REAPER's SWS extensions I have REAPER automatically set them all to -23 LUFS so they're approximately the same volume. So now it's a really rough mix, but the timing is approximately right. Then I render all of the stems, just like Adam's doing at around 18 minutes in. I render them as MOVs and then a 2nd time as mono WAVs. Mono because I want everyone to be approximately similar in volume and depth. REAPER automatically names them, so that's great. Working with video files, they're are a bit quirky in that they align to their frame rate, which let's say 30fps. That means all 140 tracks are going to be aligned close to the beat but plus or minus as much as 33ms, which will make the whole thing sound muddy. That's why I've rendered a 2nd time to WAV files. I close that first project and start a new project with just the WAV stems. They're fairly closely to the beat already, but now I can finely adjust the tracks right to the click, apply REAPER's out of the box autotune, mute the kids who are completely out of tune, noisy, or just not playing right for some reason. I can group tracks into folders just like Adam did. I adjust levels of each folder, first violin, 2nd, cellos, bass, etc. listen for anything that sticks out, add a little compression, some eq. add a routing to my reverb bus, (ACON Reverb Solo thanks for that, with a short pre-delay thanks for that too). Because my WAVs are mono I use a touch of a spacializer plugin, and render a final mix. Then I pull the video tracks I rendered previously, because those are aligned, along with the rendered final audio, I pull those into a real video editor where I can crop and scale and scroll and work with that number of video files and make it look as nice as it sounds. On a video project like this, trying to keep time to a minimum, I'll just lay everything out on a nice clean grid pattern. But going back to the audio editing, It goes fast because I'm not listening to everything individually, I'm mostly looking for outliers. I'll listen to the first few seconds of a track to make sure it aligns to the click. Lots of quick decisions, keep or toss, or just a slight adjustment here or there. This project, when it's done, with the video, should take around 14-16 hours. But I'm not doing anything fancy. It's bare bones. I started making these kinds of cellphone choirs and working with high schools for their concerts last year during covid. I don't know how I'd make them without REAPER.

When he talked about having to export in all these multiple formats, 44.1, 48, 88 KHz and so on, I immediately remembered Reaper's nifty little function of Render Queue, where you can save each of these settings and add them to the render queue; and when you hit render, they'll all get rendered one after the other automatically without you having to wait for one render to complete, changing the settings and then rendering again. Gotta love Reaper!

@Producelikeapro 4 года назад

Thanks ever so much for sharing!

@arcanics1971 4 года назад

Indeed. I often do several versions of a song, putting them into the queue as I finish each one (often 3 times per version so I have 3 formats) and then when I have finished Reaper renders them all together and I make a brew.

@jachinharder5958 4 года назад

Reaper saved me while I was finishing my mix of "Chelsea" I was trying out a new amp sim on the guitar solo. Next day when I went to reopen the project, a bug in the new amp sim was causing the whole project to crash. Reaper let me open the project with all the plugins "offline" and then I was able to get rid of the problem plugin. That saved a week's worth of work.

REAPER IS THE BEST ! I discovered it with your video with Spectral Sound and it's been a revelation ! So i passed from Cubase to Reaper... and i saw the light.... lol

@AndyNicholson 4 года назад

Just out of interest what version of Cubase were you using? The only things I saw in this video that Cubase cannot do natively is the spectral view, but if you get Spectralayers Elements you can use it as an ARA extension and get 10 times more functionality, and the skinning. Not hating, everyone is entitled to use the tools the feel comfortable with, but when the guy keeps saying "I've not seen this in any other DAW" I'm sitting here doing it on my machine. Perhaps the real advice here isn't how great Reaper is, or any other DAW for that matter, but more to learn the tool that you use and understand everything about it.

@JeffArend 4 года назад

I bought Reaper several years ago. I love the ability to customize practically everything to your own taste. With themes it makes it even easier for people moving over from other DAWs. With a price of $60 you just can't go wrong!!

@fytakytemusic 4 года назад

Great to see Reaper getting some love. I used Sonar for many years and tried most of the other DAWs, but now I've settled on Reaper. Of course you can't possibly show everything it does, but one thing that is super impressive is how quickly the whole program downloads and installs. Updates take literally seconds. I'm sure most other DAW users won't believe it until they see it. BTW, Jon Tidey of Reaper Blog and Kenny Gioia of Reaper Mania are two other Reaper educators on You Tube who are amazing ambassadors for the product.

@plummetplum 4 года назад

I'm a Sonar user looking at reaper. What do you think works better?

@fytakytemusic 4 года назад

@@plummetplum Hi - First and foremost, Sonar became very unreliable for me, with constant crashes and bugs. Sonar gave me problems when the track count got high, but Reaper rarely crashes, even with 100+ track projects. Also, Reaper's "track-type agnostic" architecture was another most attractive feature to me. I found the separate Midi track, separate track, separate buss layout of Sonar somewhat limiting and clunky. I still have Sonar (actually now Cakewalk by Bandlab) and I still sometimes use it. Since Bandlab took it over, it seems to have become a little more stable than it use to be. Reaper is a very different workflow to Sonar and takes some getting use to - It has a bewildering array of options, even compared to Sonar, which as you know is a fully featured DAW. The major difference is, compared to Sonar, it is extremely efficient software and very light on CPU. On the con side, I personally find it harder to work with midi in Reaper than Sonar. I would suggest trying out Reaper and seeing if it suits you. I had it installed for probably 3 years before I started using it regularly. You really have nothing to lose by trying it. If you don't like it, Sonar is always there. I hope that answers your question!

@suspnd6170 4 года назад

Yes. A great big Shout Out to Jon Reaper Blog and Kenny Reaper Mania.

@Mcgiver699 3 года назад

@@plummetplum The best about eaper is that it is made to work th way you work. You can download the keyboard shortcuts for Sonar in the Reaper stash and continue using they shortcuts you already know. I even think someone made a theme to make it look more like Sonar. I know there are themes and shortcuts for Logic, Protools and Cubase.

@MattheasBoelter 4 года назад

About the Reaper community being really vocal, it's actually a really similar community to a lot of open source. I think it just has to do with how cheap and customizable the software is. The company practically gives away software that is extremely efficient and effective, so it builds up a community that is extremely loyal. And because it's a minority community, users feel the need to evangelize it everywhere. You see really similar things within communities like Blender (I think that's become less as it's become more mainstream), Godot, and Linux.

@squidcaps4308 2 года назад

My Reaper story: I use PT HD at the time and was doing simple rock trio preparation for a mix session. I wanted to do parallel compression and bunch of other routing and it took ages.. and i had just seen a video of Reaper in action. So, i uploaded the tracks to my homeserver, went home, downloaded and installed Reaper and on my first session with it i had the entire routing done in 30 minutes, including some housecleaning. I was hitting shortcuts i had never used before in that DAW, it just... clicked in my head. I've used DAWs and computer based sequencers since 93. Reaper is the best of them. I've used now about a decade and i never ever have to use AVID software again (i had to use the old mediacomposer server for a year... please, some nuke AVID from the orbit..). Reaper just works, just like i want.. well, not exactly, its MIDI editor is still one of the worst in 2022, it is functional but makes you lose track of position so, so so fast, its zoom functions are just rubbish, no matter what options you set. If that is fixed, it has no flaws. I've recorded, mixed, mastered music, used it in theater projects (Portable Install FTW!!!!), done foley, SFX, done a tone of just audio analysis with it.. It has handled EVERYTHING i have thrown at it.

Absolutely love the ease of Reaper, I left ProTools for Reaper after over 20 years (2 years ago) and have never looked back, for me it was a great decision - common sense functions like "Folders" and accelerated and simple rendering functions have sped up my compositional and recording workflow by at least 50%. Additionally, I love the way Justin Frankel runs the company putting excellence ahead of profit, and Reaper instructor Kenny Gioia's excellent "how to" videos are spot on! PT on the other hand has been in steady decline with its competition since Avid bought them, it was a pain leaving PT as I knew it so well, but once I got a handle on Reaper - its been AWESOME. And I haven't even mentioned the SLEW of GREAT free VST plugins (...well I guess I just did).

I started on a borrowed PT platform with their proprietary interface that they forced on you, and I just could not get the hang of it. Somebody suggested Reaper. I figured I would try it. I was up and running in a short time. Then I discovered the Repear community. Wow! It's simply amazing. Such helpful people. There's never been a time when I posted a question and it didn't get answered within and hour or two. That alone is worth it. As if all that weren't enough, it's the most affordable DAW out there. In spite of how powerful it is, it doesn't get clunky and convoluted, Straightforward and intuitive.

The 5 things that won me over in 2008 & led me down the foxhole ? #1- I could turn on the pc open Reaper and within seconds start recording no hassle attached, # 2- You could throw any audio interface at it, zero problemsi and it would work for hours non stopo! #3- You didn't need a a pc built for NASA to do serious multitracking and editing , even back in 2008 it was CPU and RAM efficient! #4- I found it to be the most intuitive daw, most of the time i didn't need to read the manual, awesome!! #5 -Cheap but worth at least 5 times it's price tag add the continuous updates and you have a great bargain!

Thank you Adam and Warren! I first heard of Reaper in its beginnings, by way of other blind guitarists, and musicians, similar to how this community works. It has become a "go to" for many blind musicians. A lot of scripts are available for screen reader access. I'm mostly familiar with the key commands for Goldwave, which I got a couple of years before Reaper awareness. I like Goldwave quite a bit, but am also looking forward to try using Reaper with my new system. This, with Adam, and the video with Glen, along with some tutorials I got a few years back from the screen reader perspective are very encouraging. 😃 Of course PLAP here helps me know what I'm doing with all of the tools! 💖

Thank you for featuring Reaper on your channel. Reaper has made everything in music possible for me. I was using Roland VS-880s & VS1680s hard disk recorders for years and had copious cases full of backup CDs from all my Roland recording over the years that were proprietary to the Roland equipment and saved in their format. Someone created a program that would read all these backup CDs in Reaper and convert them to wave files! I was floored and sold on Reaper from that moment on. I went crazy loading up all my Roland tracks into Reaper and editing them in Reaper. The Roland equipment made great recording but no edition features. To say it was a game changer is an understatement. I now had access to all my old recordings from the 1990's and remix them, rebuild etc. I have never looked back. Reaper is constantly upgrading the software and making improvements. Kenny Gioia videos puts Reaper over the top with videos on every topic imaginable. Reaper is the DAW you need to experience.

This was excellent , i chose Reaper as my DAW 3 years ago and i'm still very happy with it .

@hatusage 3 года назад

When I started on Reaper I was an Ableton user. I bought up Reaper whenever I got bored. Started using a few RU-vid videos about it.. I was hooked! Reaper can do everything that another DAW can. It's just not full of bloatware. It's faster and less intensive on your CPU than anything else on the market.

@JamesJLaRue 4 года назад

Everything mentioned in this video is why I love Reaper. People will say "protools can do anything, you just need to learn how to do it" and then I ask about my favorite features as described in this video and I get "oh...yeah you can't do that, I think maybe Logic does that". People outside of the Reaper world don't even know how limited their DAWs are! Having said that though, my friend was having trouble getting protools running because of ilok issues (ilok SUCKS) so I set him up with reaper and showed him the basics, and he couldn't hang, he simply couldn't use it. His work flow is all based on protools and thinking of it like a tape recorder. So I don't recommend Reaper for everyone, especially non-computer people. There IS a deep learning curve with Reaper. I had to explain item timebase to him, since the speed of his tracks were changing when he changed the tempo of the song...he's used to just playing a piece with no click, and then changing the tempo until it seems about right for his part, then he re-records to the click. So I explained the setting and how to make it default, so that items won't change speed. But that was already too much trouble for him. But for me, all about Reaper. Great vid.

Great interview. Ive been watching Adam since I started using Reaper about a year ago. Still learning but loving it. As stated the rendering queue is brilliant One feature I always use is the routing matrix. If somethings not working or routed properly a nice little map of everything coming in and out and change it on the fly.

@budgetguitaristcom 4 года назад

Great video! The biggest drawback of Reaper is that it doesn't come with virtual instruments. So to duplicate the instruments you get in Logic Pro X (including Virtual Drummer), you'd need to spend a lot of money. The plugins are arguably better in Logic, too. That said, I think Reaper is freaking amazing. It's more hackable than any other DAW by a million times. And it doesn't require a Mac.

@jppagetoo 4 года назад

No, there are a ton of freeware intruments that sound great. You can buy the AIR virtual instruments and FX, the ones that come with Pro Tools, for less than a $100 investment. If you are patient you can get many top quality pay-for effects on giveaway deals. To be fair, most DAW user eventually buy their preferred VST intruments and FX anyway. But you are correct, no free instruments with Reaper.

Hi Warren & Adam great to see you two chatting about my rave fave DAW Reaper !!! yep my Cubase rig is sitting idle because Reaper is just fun as well as easy & you can create & optimise your own personal Workflow & that's just a couple of reasons why I switched over & as Adam so wonderfully showed there are a lot of fantastic features & of course its unbelievable price !!! Huge thanks to both of you for your fantastic channels & communities its so inspiring & informative & I'm definitely an avid student & follower of what you both do as a self producing guitarist singer songwriter your tutorials & tips are invaluable to me as is Kenny Goia another Reaper expert & fantastic educator !! I'm so enjoying Produce Like a Pro Warren as I am a working musician{ albeit at home due to the covid19 situation} so much to watch learn inspire & immerse myself in at this time Thanks so much stay safe stay well & best wishes from Sydney Australia sincerely Chris Davis.

@deanmoore7239 4 года назад

Awesome video, thank you. Downloaded the trial of Reaper because of it, and I'm sold on it to be honest. Some incredibly powerful features. I've always been a Reason user, since 2.5 and even though I still love it, it is lacking as far as sequencer features. But, of course, now I can have the best part of Reason, the rack, in Reaper as a vst. So again, thank you for convincing me. I also love how easy it is to set up and use remote control. Got my ipad and iphone setup in a matter of a couple minutes.

@Mtaalas 4 года назад

Warren, did you know that REAPER has thing called "render matrix" where you can easily and quickly select stuff to be in the render? (items, regions, markers tracks etc. etc.) Need to render version without vocals? Just use render matrix to mute vocals, need one without this particular region but with these ones added? Use render matrix to select them etc etc... it's amazing stuff! REAPER is all about high productivity, automation, wildcards that get filled automatically etc. it works for you and not other way around! :)

@nulodgerecords4861 4 года назад

Great video- thanks! I first got started using ProTools LE, and spent the majority of my time tweaking my PC based on AVIDS recommendations, turning off background cpu processing, etc. This was a very powerful CAD workstation and still, crash after crash! Reaper is really too good to be true- 40 tracks, 4-8 plugins per track, automation, etc and never a crash! Funny story: I was recently in Nashville for a songwriting/production session in a great studio with a fairly well known, (Grammy next to the console) producer and we spent the first 10 minutes getting PTools to boot up and see the iLock. I had forgotten about that stupid piece of hardware...thanks to Reaper! And thanks Warren, I have learned so much from your videos! -Scott

@GermanFafian 4 года назад

I have been using Reaper for years now and I always find a new way to do things or a new feature I had not seen before. It is definetely a powerhouse for audio work. I don't like the Piano Roll that much but it more than maeks up for it in other areas.

@russmilton4491 3 года назад

Awesome video guys. I've been dabbling with Reaper for a couple of months now (fully paid up of course), my biggest take from this vid after a single pass is "Don't dismiss or reject Reaper because of it's lemonade price tag, it's a top quality champagne app". And of course both of you have another subscriber, so a huge thanks to you both.

Lots and lots of live engineers use it for recording gigs and for virtual soundcheck because it’s so easy on any computer and completely reliable. Super useful if the same laptop is running plugins live too. Top video Warren, also figured out why you were familiar to me after I saw your interview on the andertons channel... Patch introduced us at a gig in LA... I’m foh engineer for Hozier and Patch was looking after the opener. Great content. Keep up the good work. Hopefully see you for a beer when this covid19 thing is all over and we can get back to gigging...

I think between yourself (for general music production tips and gear reviews) and Adam and Kenny Gioia for Reaper there's very little need to watch any other channels. The history behind Reaper is well worth looking into - the founder Justin Frankel was the guy behind Winamp. Kenny Gioia's channel in particular constantly surprises me with revelations about how to use Reaper, or quicker and easier ways of doing something in the software. He has a very unusual speech rhythm which for some reason makes his videos even easier to follow. Reaper seems to be updated almost every week as well - you just can't go wrong for $60. I just got some of your tutorials as part of an offer when i recently bought an Audient ID4 mkII, it feels like Christmas has come early 🎉😊
