Reaper is also consistent, I'd say, with the increasing divergence of workflows that I think is obvious today. Still, the tiny footprint is refreshing, especially in a world of laptops and high school students just wanting to make stuff, so hats off to Reaper either way. Some of it looks unique but, without wishing to quell enthusiasm for Reaper, quite a bit looks like things you can do in Digital Performer and, I would guess, in many DAWs. I watched the video at the beginning and it emphasised the same things I keep hearing: easy customisation and the ability to save complex processes quickly under a single keyswitch. Sometimes that allegiance has the vibe of a religious affiliation, but never mind. The allegiance of Reaper users does intrigue me. This recording will be used to create background ambience and sound effects. Eliminating the clipping is a straightforward process, although balancing and processing audio with this much dynamic range is labour intensive. The second screen capture shows the same file in Reaper before the peaks have been pulled down. They're so well done that I suspect Reaper is paying him to make them. I found Reaper a bit idiosyncratic, but Kenny Gioia's Reaper 6 videos on his Reaper Mania YouTube channel are very good. Recently, I used it for that purpose with a stereo recording of what turned out to be an unusually dramatic thunderstorm. ![]() If one is using a MixPre v.2 recorder in 32-bit float mode, Reaper is one of a limited number of DAWs that can be used to bring clipped audio below 0dB. I'll be purchasing RX8 when it's released, probably in the next couple of months. * RX7 Advanced, which I chose to skip, will also correct clipping in MixPre 32-bit recordings. ![]() ![]() The Waveform Statistics box on the right tells the story: True Peak (+25.7dB), Minimum RMS (-34.2dB) and "Possibly Clipped Samples" (>100,000).* The first screen capture shows the recording (75 minutes, 96kHz WAVE) in iZotope RX6 Advanced. They're so well done that I expect Reaper is paying him to make them.
