![]() ![]() If I can do something, for example, with one click and drag as opposed to one click, a window, close the window, and a drag, I will always want the first option. I find it to be exactly the same with music stuffs.įrom my own perspective composing professionally I don't agree with this. I would spend hours writing code to speed things up a bit.Īs I got older I began to realise that actually thinking about stuff took up most of the time and that the time saved with all the various "enhancements" was not that great in the grand scheme of things. Speed and efficiency has always been a thing. Some of the things you mentioned are issues in Cubase, too, though.ĪutoCAD has been my weapon of choice over the years (I'm sixty this year). Scripts are great but some of them need to be incorporated as core features to be as intuitive as they have the potential to be. Some of that is me getting to used to it, but some of it isn't. This is what I'm starting to get a little worried about, is that it doesn't feel fast and efficient in some ways as I was hoping. You will have many battles with Reaper for sure. If you say you was fighting with cubase be carefull. To me Reaper looks like a colossus on clay legs, powerfull but unlogical workflow. Still overall Reaper is more to me but it is not so super that fanboys often say. Fl is really a pleasure to work in piano roll, many integrated functions, nice GUI, no windows distracting frames, strange colors etc. I would say it is good for me as I didnt use it in other DAW, in Fl Studio there was none. Next you see there is none Area Selection! Copy stuff is really a pain. Now, Reaper can not select more then one envelope!!! New feature Automation items will help you to do it but it is not a right, quick way. Really for manipulating sound, putting tons of plugins, making mess, experimenting it is a beast.īut lets say we want to compose a song we need to duplicate item with 2 envelopes of total 5 envelopes. Reaper shine in details, many settings.įor me it is really good in sound design (best). Recording I would say good, many options. Media items (clips) manipulating is quite good. In simple things Reaper is often strange designed. You can do advanced things in one click (combine actions, sws additional actions, reapack scripts). I hope you eventually get all you need from REAPER. I was ever so slightly tempted to give it a try when SONAR went down the pan (I was a long time user) but couldn't be bothered with the dongle, and compared to the other offerings, it was too expensive, even considering I do a lot of MIDI stuff. I've been using it for about 15 years so I'm very, very fast on it, but I'm eager to learn new ways of doing things if they can get me to where I want to go faster. In some ways that matter to me, it stays stuck in the mud instead of embracing more efficient ways to do things. The workflow is sometimes very click-heavy, and I find myself wrestling with it more than I'd like. They are very slow to address issues with the software. It's limited with certain aspects of customization and the customer service is absolutely abysmal. It's got certain old ways of working that haven't been updated to a more modern and fast workflow in certain ways. I just would like to hear opinions and other experiences, as well.Ĭubase is bloated-feeling, slow, and it stumbles with CPU usage. :-) I know only I can make my own decision - that's obvious. It's taking tons of time to learn Reaper well so I want to make sure I'm investing my time wisely. I'm totally game to learn different ways of doing things as long as they make the most of efficiency and use the least amount of clicks/fuffing about possible. I'm all about speed, efficiency, and workflow, and Cubase has been lagging in that department in certain ways for a long time. There's not the time or space to go into detail, so I'd like to hear very specially about speed and workflow for composers on Reaper compared to your experience on Cubase. My main gripe with Reaper so far: There are tons of amazing scripts for editing and the like, but the tradeoff is that many of them require more clicks and fuffing about than natively incorporated features. I would like to hear only from composers who have used more recent versions of Cubase: How do you feel that Reaper compares as far as speed and workflow for composing? MIDI, editing, and all the rest. I do very deep MIDI and audio work as a composer. and am loving it more and more as I get used to it (pretty steep learning curve). I'm a longtime Cubase user who is super fast on it, and I've been digging deep into Reaper over the past few weeks.
