Where can I set the MIDI channel so my several tracks are feeding multi-instrument VST in the folder track? I have to make a separate "send" and DISABLE parent send. The second show stopper for me was parent send MIDI routing. And while I understand the logic now, I still think that marking monitor inputs as "record armed" is a bit ugly. Sorry, but REAPER was the only DAW in which I could not understand how to feed external audio/MIDI without "recording" till I have found the answer in this forum. That was too long time ago to be relevant )īut where else you have to press "record+pause" button to just monitor the signal? Especially when you see a dedicated "Monitor" button? Do you "record arm" Web browser to get sound of it? Do you "record arm" a mixer once you attach some cable to it? If you mean hardware tape recorder, I agree with icansc. REAPER is not a program which anyone can just run without "learning curve". It is stable and efficient, unlike over-bloated Cakewalk and "always beta" Tracktion.īut the comment will be "please take 1-2 days time, watch videos and try things, search forum for workarounds". Its engine was written when Cakewalk engine was frozen, and unlike Cakewalk, REAPER engine is still in development. I would still recommend REAPER for everyone. It has wizard based build-in setup and "generally intuitive" interface layout and functionality (top to bottom, left to right GUI elements you should go throw to get the result). Not Ableton, but intuitive and easy to use for beginners.įor real beginners, Tracktion (Waveform) is ahead of both. * for "loop work" Cakewalk has Matrix view. The last option is not available in REAPER, the only way to modify voices is in the event editor (ReaControlMIDI can not be rendered into MIDI file). You load MIDI file, modify it (including instruments) and save it. * for people using MIDI files with standalone keyboards, Cakewalk is better. Especially "record arm to monitor" (with "not really record" option) can be confusing * for people coming from "analog" framework, routing in REAPER is unusual. Also Bandlab has a set of free loops in "online DAW". * it is free and has "starting set" of instruments. I think for many beginners Cakewalk can be simpler/better to start with. :Dīearing in mind that I now probably have slightly more time invested in Reaper, there is no way I would revert to Bandlabs Cakewalk.ĭid I mention I also had to do a whole album in Logic Pro9 in the meantime to help a friend? Again a pretty nice program but I guess I am too locked in to Reaper now to change again. But in the meantime Reaper has been updated & improved to where it covers everything I missed at the beginning, apaert from my first love, true love for sequencing. I started dabbling with reaper early on (v1.xx) and didnt like the MIDI at that time.Ĭut to the present & I too downloaded the free Bandlab version and yes it works just like the Cakewalk one. (grin) Sonar 3 for me - gave up on it at the last version of Sonar ( before all that X3 stuff) and coincidentally had been using SD35 and SC80vl. I still use the SC-55, particularly for some piano patches and the amazing drum kits I wish Sibelius was as well-supported, as it is much more arcane.I still feel like a newbie after switching from Finale five years ago! Absolutely no regrets!.one of the big values at the beginning was the existence of Kenny's eat 'onboarding' tool. It looked to me like Samplitude and Reaper were the two DAWs that matched my ied both and ending up choosing Reaper. When they "shut down", I immediately looked around. I was a Cakewalk user from the 80s on.starting with MIDI only and a Roland SC-55.
