"Reap Reaper’s Benefits"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Reaper?

I enjoy the customization options and all of the built-in software in Reaper. The small amount of video editing capability is a nice bonus, as is the VST compatibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reaper?

I cannot load the platform into windows operating systems pre-XP on my oldest machine in my home studio, or into Mac pre-Operating System 10.5. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"very flexible DAW for wide range of sound purposes "
4.5/5
What do you like best about Reaper?

You can customize all the functionality using actions. Great for music mixing, sound recording, sound design and editing. Big advantage of Reaper is technical support team, who make it better ones in a month. Also Reaper takes up less space on hard drive than other DAWs. It's working real fast and it has strong community where you can find great amount of information about functionality, watch tutorial video and so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My audio workhorse for over 10 years. "
5/5
What do you like best about Reaper?

Reaper (or REAPER as they like to say) has never disappointed me with its stability, performance, feature set, and flexibility. It does everything I could ask for, and much more. As my usage has gotten more advanced over the years, Reaper has kept pace just fine. And the price can't be beat! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reaper?

There is honestly almost nothing I can think of. I've had a couple tiny features that I've wished were included, but they were SUPER niche ideas so I'm not disappointed that they're not included. (And at least one of them was covered when I discovered SWS Extensions; look it up if you're a Reaper user!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Reaper?

Reaper allows you to evaluate indefinitely and at some point, you'll be happy to pay the measly fee to get rid of the reminder when you open the program! very powerful software and allows you to tailor it to your personal style and needs completely! very impressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reaper?

Given the amount you can customise, it can occasionally be a little confusing exactly how to perform a certain task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) - at an Affordable Price!"
5/5
What do you like best about Reaper?

This is the best priced, full feature DAW I've come across. I did a lot of research before I decided which DAW to purchase, and Reaper had the most features at the best price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reaper?

I haven't run across anything I don't like. However, I'm not a power user. I primarily use this for recording and editing podcasts, as it is more than capable of doing that (and more). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
