REAPER (Rapid Environment for Audio Production, Engineering, and Recording) is a digital audio workstation created by Cockos. It is distributed with an uncrippled evaluation license, with a nag screen explaining the license cost. It is currently available for Microsoft Windows (98/Me/2000/XP/Vista/7), Wine and Mac OS X (10.4/10.5/10.6). Version 3 of REAPER was released on May 22, 2009. [1]
REAPER supports plug-in APIs such as VST, VSTi, DX, DXi, and AU. REAPER also integrates the company's own plug-in and FX scripting API, called JS. REAPER can also function both as a ReWire slave and host. The 64 bit version (as of 3.103) includes its own bridging technology to enable use of 32 bit VSTs in a 64 bit environment. It ships with a host of native FX plug-ins. Another feature is its ReaMote application that allows the user to use the CPU power of a second PC to process plug-ins over a local area network.
REAPER also supports user GUI theming, custom actions/macros, an open extension API, and Python and Perl scripting. REAPER is noted for its agile software development principles, including a rapid development cycle and responsiveness to user requests. [2] From version 3.13 on REAPER includes complete menu customisation (main menu and context (right click) menus), including the ability to include the original, uncustomised menu, as a submenu.
REAPER is an alternative to other digital audio workstation software such as Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic Pro, Cakewalk Sonar, SAW Studio, ACID Pro and FL Studio.
