Your question has me in a philosophical death-loop. Why would the world need a free software DAW?

Looks as though it does audio and MIDI, some automation, Acid style groove-clip looping, VST support. . . it's free

But yeah, the world doesn't need this.

it has a very small footprint a little over one megabyte. So if you really want an extremely streamlined interface that shouldn't tax your computer I can see some purpose to this program. It was made by the guy who did winamp wasn't it?

Sweet it is skinnable. I want the SMB skin.
It has ripple editing available too. What the crap is ripple editing?

Oh I see. I thought maybe it would edit out the ripples on your tape. Do some digital editors not offer it?

I grudgingly admit that Sonar does not have a ripple/shuffle mode. I have my work-arounds though. Perhaps I'll move some of my editing jobs to this Reaper.

yea, computer music magazine has offered a free daw program too, its a bit more fancy looking, and has tons of free plug ins too. just goes to show ya, you dont need to spend a lot (or any?) money to record your music on the puter... also, im pretty sure its open source, so peeps are always creating new patches, banks and skins and adding to the pile.

i believe one thing you can use the reaper for would be to put your older computers to some good use. since you can practically do a barebones install of Windows and then Reaper you can just host certain plugins on older desktop machines and relieve your main cpu from processing overload.

Wow, and I thought N-Track was cheap...has anybody tried this? If it works well, then why spend a bunch for Sonar or Cubase?

Of course, the mixing engine is probably much better in those programs...
