REAPER is a powerful but sensible Windows application designed for the recording, arrangement, editing, mixing and rendering of audio. REAPER provides a flexible but easy to use interface that is equally suited to amateurs and professionals alike. REAPER versions 0.4-0.99 are freeware, but starting with version 1.0 the license will change to very reasonably priced (with amateur and professional rates/sustain) uncrippled nag-free shareware, sustaining unexpiring full objectiveality in unregistered form. Here are some key features of ""REAPER"": · Easy to use Equally usable by hobby users and professionals alike. Simply drag and drop one of many kinds of files in to edit existing material, or insert a track and arm it for recording. No complex project settings or definitions are required. · Extremely small footprint REAPER is full featured, but its installer is barely over 1 megabyte. It starts and closes fast, and is easily installed on new systems or on portable drives. · Fast and powerful editing facilities Split, resize, fade/crossfade, pitch shift, timestretch, copy/paste and loop media items with ease. Ripple editing is accessible, too. · Unrivaled routing capabilities Send tracks to any number of other tracks or hardware outputs, with lots of choices (pre-fx, post-fx, independent faders, mono or stereo). Not interested in advanced routing? You dont have to use it (and it certainly wont get in the way.) · Powerful recording choices sustains pre-fx, post-fx recording, can record mixed output of multiple tracks, etc, sustains switching record inputs/modes on the fly, input monitoring choices (including tape-style auto input monitoring mode), sustains auto-punch-in/punch-out, and more.
