Positive Review in Recording Magazine!

I just received the October issue of Recording Magazine. There is a nice 4+ page "Walking Tour" of REAPER. The author/reviewer (Darrell Burgan) had only positive things to say. Probably the most important thing he said is, "REAPER measures-up very well against even the most expensive high-end DAW products"... lured me away from many years of working with a top-end Windows DAW. Count me as a fan."

Yeah, that was a cool quote. I wonder which DAW he was referreing to. I fired up Cubase 5.5 yesterday and while the interface graphics are way ahead of Reaper (IMO), there's just way too much time consuming clicking one has to do to acheive the same results in Reaper in a single click. I just have to believe that Reaper will begin gaining market share in huge chunks, not just small bites, moving forward. As so many have said, the power under the hood is just awesome. And the feature set is just too great to be ignored. If I were in charge of Pro Tools or Cubase at Avid or Steinberg, I'd keep a wary eye on Reaper. -Rich

I just read the review as well - it is very positive indeed. Recording Magazine is geared towards studio engineers and recording artists / singers / songwriters, many of whom do not have huge budgets, so this should be an interesting boost for Reaper.

Yes it was a fabulous review. I even learned about a few things I didn't know about, and I've been using Reaper for several years now:-P. Ken
