Hmm, I did my first actual recording session with it yesterday and so 
far I haven't found it to be non-intuitive.  In fact, the way that you 
comp takes in Reaper is by far the easiest/fastest interface I've ever 
seen.  Of course, that's only one little piece.  But a piece I spend a 
lot of time doing.  And it's silly how much easier it is in Reaper 
compared to Cubase or Protools.

We'll see how mixing goes this week, though.  One thing Cubase does well 
(when it's working) is integrate with external effects taking into 
account all of the latency compensation.  I don't know if Reaper does 
that yet, but I'll be futzing with it this week to find out.

I just spent about 30 minutes reading the Jesusonic documentation and 
just got a major geek buzz.

I wish I remembered some math so I could wrap my head around how to use 
an FFT.
