Reaper Reviews & Product Details

it is not complicated on what you should do to rec or add plugin etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little hard on how to record a second take on the same line, or how to glue two takes and where to move them. Alsi the timestamp is only movable on metronome beats Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot say enough good things about Reaper. It has been my go-to audio editing solution for nearly a decade. It is extremely robust, flexible, and incredibly well priced. I find myself getting more accomplished more quickly than friends who are still using ProTools and I'm paying a lot less! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you had asked me a few years ago what I dislike about Reaper, I would have said integration with other products. Sometimes bringing in VSTs and other plug-ins could be a bit of a chore. But at this point there's just about nothing it can't talk to seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how fast, easy to use, and LIGHT in comparison with other software/daw from the same category reaper is, it can load almost anything available on the market(vsti, plugins, rewires) really fast and consuming a tiny amount of ram space, which is something we always need to do when we are recording, mixing, or working on audio edition.

I dislike the fact that the internal audio edition its a bit clumsy, like, its a bit complicated to chop and export one tiny amount of audio without having to render it instead of just exporting the selected piece, aside from that the program works marvelously.

Reaper allows users to try the product for a limited time before they are required to buy it, allowing users to learn how to use the software and determine if it will meet their needs and if they enjoy using it. It is an excellent recording and audio editing tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reaper is a step above GarageBand in terms of recording and editing audio. However, it does not have the MIDI editing capabilities of GarageBand and does not include a MIDI sample library like GarageBand does. It still does not have as many MIDI editing and audio editing capabilities as other digital audio workstations, such as Logic Pro X and Pro Tools, and therefore is not often used by professional producers and audio engineers in the music industry.

What I like best about Reaper is that the interface is extremely easy to use - just like my review of garageband, I enjoy softwares that are easy to use and to understand as a beginner in recording. It is affordable and I enjoy how the interface is customizable, and I can change the toolbar, layouts and appearance to fit my agenda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that using this on a PC is easier than using the software on a mac because of the storage it takes up on macs. I don't like using PCs as much, but with software like this - it seems you almost are forced to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It quite amazing how easily you can add effects and various additions including simply recording. But what's even better is that the software itself is easy and clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We disliked that its ease of use is not so easy. We would prefer that a user's manual came with the software because, at times, it can be confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reaper has a user-friendly interface that allows you to record an unlimited amount of audio tracks per session. The layout is intuitive and customizable, with a wide range of editing and effects plugins. For a $60 investment, you get a full-fledged digital audio workstation (DAW) instead of an entry-level audio editing software. There are better programs to restore a noisy recording or remove clicks and pops from a vinyl conversion. However, if you plan to record and edit multiple sources simultaneously, this is one of the best options, especially for less than $100. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program lands near the bottom of our ranking due to the lack of restoration tools. You can build a proper restoration suite by adding multiple editing tools together, like EQ, gates and filters, but that’s a daunting task for novice users. We were able to remove a decent amount of room noise, and edit out some microphone pops from our test podcast segment, but it took significantly longer than programs like Adobe Audition that have a one-click repair or restoration tool.

What amazes me is the how clean and easy is to start and finish a voice project with this software, cause you just have to open it, click on record and then do what you do best, which is recording your voice. After that, it's just a matter of stopping the audio file and exporting it, which is also very easy to do. I have to say that it also amazes me how easy is to add any type of additional effects, such as echo, reverb, delay, etc., within seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once I bought a pack of additional effects for some voices and sounds in order to make my recordings more appealing to the ear. But I have to say that I really struggled to make them work inside Reaper. This is what I hate about the software, cause there should be an option where one could just select a pack sound, add it, and then start using it. What I mean to say is: if this is the way Reaper works (it lets you do most things automatically, with a couple clicks), why wouldn’t they add this function for pack sounds?

I've been using Reaper for a little while and I like three things about this software: the first is that recording with it is very easy, because mainly you just need to have your microphone or guitar plugged in, and then just click the "record" red button. The second is that it's also easy to add VST effects and instruments by pointing them to the Reaper folder. The third and last thing is that adding reverb, as well as finishing and mastering the song, is quick and easy if you use the upper panel and the left-side edit options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing I dislike is that the software should come with a detailed user's manual; I'm saying this because even though the software is easy to use if you have an idea of how to use recording software, it can get to be very confusing and a bit hard to learn if you're just a musician wanting to start recording your own songs and sell them on the internet. Really, people at Reaper should include a detailed user's guide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reaper is one of the best recording software you´ll find out there. Mainly, I use it to record songs and sell them to users on Fiverr (using my voice and an acoustic guitar), and they come out with great commercial quality. What I mostly love about this software is how easy it is to link the recording hardware with Reaper (by only clicking the software a few times); I also enjoy its click and cut tool, which allows me to erase and cut any part of the recording I dislike, in an easy way. The most amazing part is that I can easily export my files in any known audio format I choose (like WAV or MP3). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As this software is a bit more complex than free tools like Audacity, its initial learning curve is a bit lengthy: if you want to get the most out of it, you need to spend many, many hours learning how to use all of the tools that Reaper has to offer, and this might be a bit discouraging for some users. Nevertheless, if you have the time and patience to do this, you won´t regret it because you´ll be amazed at how easy your recording sessions will become (and you´ll also be amazed at the high quality you get from your audios).
