Agreed, can't be beaten for the price. It works seamlessly with all my plugins, midi controller and stealthplug. It is all I need. Would be nice to have a score editor though.

I'm also a Reaper man and can't fault it for less than £30! Absolute bargain and makes you wonder how some others out there justify their prices.

I cannot say enough good things about Reaper. I've been using it for about a year now. I was thinking of splurging for one of the "big boys" but now I may not bother.

Pros
Fantastic list of features. Excellent timestretching. Flexible routing matrix. Agreeable pricing structure. Small footprint.
Cons
No score editor. Occasional audio glitches.
Verdict
Reaper is a genuine alternative to the top-dollar DAWs. Version 2.0 sees Cockos upping its game once again, so why not give it a go?
