![]() Also you can get custom themes from savvy users on the internet! Customize it how you like it. Personally, stringing together multiple macros to lessen my key presses saves TONS of time. ![]() Editing functions and such at the stroke of a key are awesome. I will say this- get a gaming mouse and watch things be AMAZING. What’s more, you can create custom shortcuts and actions (Macros) to perform common functions. You can customize toolbars, individual track faders (height, color, information displays etc), even menus! It is insane how much you can customize this program to fit like a glove. This can get complicated for many users who just want to use a program and keep it moving. You can customize pretty much ANYTHING (Almost to a fault). So, this is the most powerful thing about Reaper. Tagged: Protools, Pro tools, AudioProduction, Reaper, music, audioengineer, Live music, lovemusic, producer, mixing, Mastering, masteringmusic, producingmusic So as an engineer what tools work best for you ? Reaper is good for mixing and pro tools is good for recording and editing in my mind right now. I don’t mind using different tools for different things. I still use it for recordings, just cause I am faster In PT than reaper for recordings. Lastly I have not completely stopped using pro tools. In pro tools i had to work to get that same feeling. Now this might be my imagination or it might not be, but reaper seems to have more of the 3 dimensional feel when mixing through it. So I have to painfully find the plugin that is causing problems for the skips to stop. I have couple of plugins that misbehave in a session and reaper skips my audio playback when it encounters a problem. Now the biggest thing that has annoyed me with reaper is buggy plugins. Same for recording, once you take the time to learn how to use it, its second nature. Mixing is really cool once to get to the know the ins and outs of routing sends and outputs. Reapers editing is mature not as developed as pro tools, but you can live with it. With my antelope gear I can route anything anywhere doesn’t matter what. If you are a hardware junky, using inserts in reaper is possible on any sequence of channels. Pro Tools is my first love, but Reaper is my best friend who always has my back. If pro tools opens up there limit to 3rd party interfaces to us more than 32 IO Ill be very happy to get rid of my rant. What is so special about avid gear? Lets wrap this point up by saying I don’t like companies in engineering who force engineers to stay in hole, not allowing appropriate interaction with other engineering groups. Ive already invested in antelope gear pro tools due to the amazing ADC, DAC as well as FPGA based plugins. So I looked into getting pro tools unlimited, and guess what! You can have 64 IO…… if you own avid gear. I was furious, at this point I wanted to force this to work. So If I wanted to use channel 55 and 56 pro tools didn’t pass audio to those channels. I wanted to have 32 outputs in total amongst that 96. So remember i said I have 96 IO with the zen tour and orion 32 together. Now at first I was ok with that, until pro tools 2018 didn’t allow me to route audio past the number 32. You can only have 32 inputs and outputs in PT. Then pro tools comes along to put a limit on my imagination. Im really getting into outboard gear so I thought of limitless possibilities when I first hooked up both interfaces and made an audio aggregate. I have the privilege of owning the Zen tour and Orion 32 + from antelope audio that has given me the capability of having 96 inputs and outputs. I have seriously stopped using Pro Tools 2018 as my everyday mixing driver. Don’t you love me for me?Īll jokes aside. Why can’t I have as many outputs for what ever hardware I have. Limiting me to 32 outputs because I don’t have the hardware that you like. This is why we cant be together anymore because all you do is throw shade. You never opened up to me and gave me your true secrets. We were in love until you showed me your true colors.
