Chris,

I used Reaper a lot this past summer when I was between computers.
It's a very cool project program, but it really can't compete with
something like Cubase just because the interface is too non-intuitive
right now. It does feel great to drop a new copy on a computer without
worrying about where your registration number is, though.

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.
