Computer music making program

Reaper falls within the category of DAWs (digital working audio stations), providing users with an environment for recording, developing and engineering auditor tracks. Reaper is far more than simply an audio editor; it serves as an integral sequencer like Pro Tools, Sonar or Cubase.

This software runs flawlessly on Windows platforms from version 98 through eight; OS X users may require Wine for compatibility; an adaptable version for Linux will also exist.

What about MP3?

mes Unfortunately, several laws in the US impose restrictions on using the MP3 format. Reaper can export ready-made audio tracks in this popular format but users will also require downloading and installing an additional library to work properly with it.

Reaper’s small file size can be attributed to its lack of virtual instruments and ready-made samples; its installation file only “weighs” 8.7MB when packed for installation; unpacked it occupies about 60MB on workstation hard disk space.
