REAPER is a powerful application for multitrack recording and editing of audio. It will accept avi, mpg or wmv files & give you a video preview, thus enabling you to mix extra tracks in with your source audio!. You cannot perform any video editing within Reaper, but you can work on the soundtrack. You can edit the existing soundtrack, and/or add create new tracks and media items to be mixed with it.

Jan 11, 2025 Version: 12
OS: Windows 11 Ease of use: 10/10
Functionality: 10/10
Value for money: 9/10
Overall: 8/10
Having been in the "computer music" industry since 1987, I've witnessed the evolution of software, from early "trackers" to fully functional Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs). Over the years, I’ve worked with a variety of tools, including Pro 16, Pro 24, and Cubase for Atari and PC, as well as Cool Edit Pro, Adobe Audition, Triple DAT, and Pro Tools. Each of these platforms has had its strengths, but they also came with significant frustrations.
Common issues I've encountered include:
Incompatibility with previous versions, often rendering older projects unusable (Cubase).
Proprietary file formats that don’t play well with other software.
Bloated installation files due to intrusive DRM software.
Background processes that tax system resources.
Hardware exclusivity.
Exorbitant update costs.
Incompatibility of expensive plugins with newer software versions.
These challenges often turned me from a multimedia engineer into a reluctant software specialist, diverting my focus from creativity to troubleshooting.
By 2006, after nearly two decades of navigating these obstacles—and after countless prayers that expensive updates would simply work—I began searching for an alternative. That’s when I discovered Reaper. Initially, I ran it alongside Pro Tools and Adobe Audition, but by 2012, I had become so impressed with Reaper's performance that I made the switch, abandoning Pro Tools and Adobe Audition altogether.
One of the first things that stood out was Reaper’s remarkably small installation size—far less than 2GB. Initially, I was skeptical; how could something so lightweight be a full-featured DAW? But I soon realized Reaper was more than just a versatile tool—it became the cornerstone of my studio setup. By 2014, I completed my first project entirely in Reaper and have since removed all Avid and Steinberg products from my system.
Reaper delivers on promises that other DAWs often fail to fulfill, even after costly upgrades. It’s a comprehensive solution, offered at an incredibly affordable price, with regular updates driven by user feedback. These updates have consistently improved the software without bogging down system resources or requiring constant investment.
One of Reaper’s standout features is its compatibility with both 32-bit and 64-bit plugins, something no other DAW offers. Beyond handling both MIDI and audio seamlessly, Reaper also excels at video editing. Its lightweight CPU usage allows for smooth 4K video rendering without issue, making it a capable tool for basic video editing as well.
In terms of cost, my 12 years with Reaper have cost me less than half of what a single Pro Tools update once did. Additionally, with the wealth of tutorials available, Reaper is one of the easiest DAWs to learn and use.
As a professional with over 35 years of experience in radio, TV, film sound editing, mixing, artist production, and music composition, I can confidently say that Reaper is a game-changer in the world of multimedia software.

Does seem to need a lot of fixes from each released version to the next! A lot may be minor, but puts me off buying it as I've had crashes in my system.

Let's be objective now! Fixes are for rare bugs which you might not encounterand as the software is evolving or developing. Not easy to use I concede, but one must spend time on anything in life. There's a helluva lot of hard work involved in producing quality software like this-go to its website and just read its help guide to see its functions. Taken onboard these things Realer is impressive!
